At present, Tata Motors has three EVs in its portfolio: Tigor EV, Nexon EV, and Xpres-T. The latter is essentially a commercial version of the Tigor EV exclusively available for fleet customers only.
The Tigor EV is India’s most affordable long-range electric car, priced between Rs 11.99 – 13.14 lakh (ex-showroom). It comes equipped with a 26 kWh high energy density lithium-ion battery pack and offers a peak output of 75PS/170Nm & a claimed range of 306km. On the other hand, the Tata Nexon EV ranges from Rs 14.54 – 17.15 lakh (ex-showroom) and delivers an ARAI-claimed range of 312km with the help of its 30.2kWh lithium-ion battery. However, it is worth noting that the real-world range of both these Tata EVs has a massive difference from their claimed figures. In our test, we found that the Tigor EV will deliver you approximately 150-170 kilometers of range per charge, whereas the Nexon EV could cover between 180-240 kilometers for you.
To curb this range issue, Tata is gearing up to introduce a long-range version of the Nexon EV in the coming weeks that is likely to come with a bigger battery pack, more powerful motor, and improved range.
In the other news, Tata has recently unveiled its Curvv electric SUV-coupe in a concept avatar that will hit our shores by 2024.
