Earlier in November, the company announced the rollout of its 50,000th EV from its Pune facility. Now, the same has been delivered to Chandrasekaran.
It should also be noted that Nexon EV was Tata Motors’ first offering into the passenger vehicle electric mobility segment. Furthermore, the company has managed to become the leader in India’s EV space on the back of this electric SUV.
Tata Nexon EV was launched in early 2020 and comes with an IP67-certified 30.2 KWh lithium-ion battery and has 312 km of ARAI-certified range. The compact SUV’s electric motor churns out 229 PS and 245 NM of torque and is paired with an automatic transmission system.
Moreover, Nexon is also the only SUV in India with a 5-star NCAP rating. Tata Motors Nexon EV can be charged from 0 to 80 percent in 60 minutes using a fast charger and from 20 to 100 percent in 8 hours using a regular charger.
The company later added a new Nexon EV MAX as an extension to India’s bestselling EV with an ARAI-certified driving range of 437 km due to its larger 40.5kWh battery pack. With this, Tata Motors has also introduced a Multi-Mode Regen feature and driving modes.
Currently, the Tata Motors EV range consists of Nexon EV Max (Rs 18.34-20.04 lakh), Nexon EV Prime (Rs 14.99-17.50 lakh), Tiago EV (Rs 8.49-11.79 lakh) and Tigor EV (Rs 12.49-13.75 lakh). Interestingly, the homegrown automaker’s EV lineup is already the biggest in the country.
