Tata recently announced that its Nexon EV has reached a new milestone, selling over 13,500 units in India since the vehicle’s launch in January 2020 (via 91mobiles). Several bits have worked out well in favor of the EV, including the 8 years warranty on battery and motor, great sizing, extremely attractive design, and of course, the significantly low running costs compared to its petrol counterparts.

Today, the Tata Nexon EV enjoys a dominant 70% of the total sales in the electric passenger car segment, beating various new players at the game. There are other offerings in the sub-Rs 25 lakh segment like MG ZS and Hyundai Kona but their higher prices haven’t helped them achieve Nexon’s popularity.

A more affordable offering comes from Tata itself and this one’s a proper saloon car. The Tigor EV was launched more recently in August 2021 and starts at Rs 11.99 lakh. Again, this one’s yet to surpass the Nexon’s success.

The Tata Nexon EV is a tad more expensive, starting at Rs 14.29 lakh, and goes up to Rs 16.90 lakh (ex-showroom) for the top-end variant. Its motor is capable of accelerating the car to 100kmph from a standstill in just 9.14 seconds. The battery comes with a claimed range of 312km on a single charge, although a new updated model is on the way with 400km range capabilities. An hour’s charge on the current model should get you to 80% battery.

The 2022 Tata Nexon EV has been spotted a couple of times testing city driving conditions and is expected to be launched quite soon.
