Tata Motors Launches Nexon EV With 45 kWh Battery Pack, Starting Price of Rs 14 Lakh

Tata Motors, one of the big automobile companies, has launched Nexon EV with a 45 kWh battery pack. Its price ranges between Rs 13.99 lakh to Rs 16.99 lakh (ex-showroom). Its Red Dark Edition will also be available. However, its price is Rs 20,000 more.

This electric car has been made available in Creative, Fearless, Empowered and Empowered+ variants. Tata Motors claims that the 45 kWh battery of Nexon EV will give a range of about 489 kilometers on a single charge. It has features like panoramic sunroof, V2L and V2Vn charging technology. With this charging technology, other appliances and electric vehicles can also be charged using its battery power. Tata Motors claims that it can be charged from 10-80 percent in about 40 minutes with a 60 kW fast charger.

The company had signed an agreement with Shell in April to expand EV charging infrastructure. These charging stations will be installed at the fuel stations of British oil and gas company Shell in the country. EV sales have increased rapidly in the last few years. Tata Motors’ EV customers use Tata Power’s EV chargers as well as third-party EV charging networks. Tata Power has more than 8,000 EV charging stations. The share of EV in total car sales in the country is about two percent.

Earlier, Tata Motors had tied up with Hindustan Petroleum (HPCL) to set up EV charging stations. Under this, these charging stations will be installed at about 5,000 fuel pumps of Hindustan Petroleum by the end of this year. HPCL has more than 21,000 fuel pumps. By installing chargers on these fuel pumps, the company will be able to improve the experience for its customers. More than 3,000 EV charging stations have been installed at HPCL’s fuel pumps. Recently Tata Motors had reduced the prices of EV. The company has launched its first showroom exclusively for EVs in Gurugram. The company has the highest share in the electric vehicles market in the country. Many automobile companies are launching their models in this segment.
