Tata Harrier EV: Powertrain
However, information about the battery capacity is scarce, the EV will have an AWD option which is not available with its ICE counterpart. The AWD configuration could prove a plus point for the Harrier EV over its petrol/diesel-powered sibling. We expect the Harrier EV to be equipped with a 60-80 kW battery pack which will provide a driving range of up to 500 km on a single charge.
