A little about Tata Nexon EV:
The Nexon EV has been doing exceptionally well when it comes to performance. Our test drive reviews are proof of it. You can find it here. When it comes to performance, the car majestically touches the 0-100km/h speed under 10 seconds. Unfortunately, the top speed has been electronically limited to 120 km/h. Whatsoever, it is an impressive figure after all. The video of the top speed run has been provided below:
Further, the batteries have enough power to give a real-world driving range of 250-300km. One interesting feature that we noticed is the lack of a gear lever. Instead, it comes with a rotary knob that has four settings- R, N, D and S. This I believe adds to the character of the vehicle even though some wish for a gear-stick.
It comes packed with features at a price of 9 13.99 Lakh - for the XM Variant (ex-showroom) and 9 16.40 Lakh- for the XZ+LUX variant (ex-showroom)

Tata motors have been keenly trying to provide changing solutions at home, workplace and also public charging points since it is the key element for faster customer response and adoption of EV. According to Tata Motors, the lack of awareness of charging infrastructures has resulted in the stereotypes associated with buying EVs. The company has already installed fast-charging stations in key Metros such as - Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Bengaluru and Hyderabad, thus enabling the e-mobility drive in the city. Chargers have also been installed on key intercity Highways, at Tata Motors dealerships, a few Tata Group retail outlets and other public locations.
Over 456 charging points have been installed in 92 cities, situated on several prominent intercity routes across India. In addition, free home-charging solutions are offered with every Nexon EV sold.
