Tata Motors updated the most popular Nexon Electric car with a larger battery pack and longer driving range on a single charge. Updated Nexon EV likely to offer 400km range.
Highlights:
- The updated Tata Nexon EV 2022 electric car is expected to provide a sweet driving range of 400 kms per charge with a larger battery pack.
- The new Tata Nexon EV retains the earlier design, but with some feature updates like auto climate control and electric sunroof.
In a range-conscious nation like India, Electric vehicles’ range and the initial cost of owning still remain a barrier to EV adoption considering the not yet widespread EV charging infrastructure.
Tata Motors in an attempt to cater to these issues launched the first version of Tata Nexon Electric car in 2019, yet the claimed range of 312 km seemed great on advertisements but its real-world range stood at 170-200kms. The range is quite less for the customers, who often travel long distances on a daily basis.
To address this issue Tata motors has been spied testing the updated version of Nexon EV with an upgraded battery pack and higher range somewhere in Pune. Image credits to the Techtalk team for the updates.
