Does anyone know Nexon EV sales number for the month of July 2020? Couldn't find it anywhere or I must have missed it. Thanks in advance.

I recently took delivery of the Nexon EV XZ+ Lux variant in Bangalore (A detailed ownership review will follow shortly).

I have a couple of questions for other vehicle owners on this thread:
1. Does this car have speed-sensing door auto-lock feature? If yes, how do you enable it?
2. Is there a way to cap the charging at 90/95% SOC. I am evaluating a solution that involves a smart plug; however, this will be a hacky solution.

I took a test drive on Sunday. Although I had driven it earlier, I was pleasantly surprised by the rear leg room. Too good for a 4m car. Took the plunge and booked the top variant in silver color. I am told that there will soon be a price hike of about 25k.

Didn't get any discount. No free stuff either. So I said I will take insurance from outside. 78k is high for a 16 lakh car. So the insurance guy called me and said he will try to match the quote that I got.

Also got to know that the tax benefit under section 80EEB is 1.5 lakh over the whole loan term, not every year. So decided not to go for loan (although the rate of interest is mouth watering - 7.3%!).

My brother in law accompanied me for the test drive and booking. He drives a duster, and hardly likes other cars. He came back mighty impressed with the comfort, pickup, build quality and rear legroom. And we didn't even used the S mode.

Tata Motors has announced that it has rolled out the 1,000th Nexon EV from its Pune manufacturing facility. The company has achieved this milestone in a little over 6 months since the launch of the car.



The Nexon EV uses a 30.2 kWh lithium-ion battery that powers an electric motor which has an output of 127 BHP and 245 Nm. The company claims that the car can do a 0-100 km/h sprint in 9.9 seconds. The battery is said to have an ARAI-certified maximum range of over 312 km on a single charge (MIDC cycle). It has fast charging capability and can be charged to 80% of its capacity using a DC fast charger in 1 hour. Using a standard AC charger, it takes 8-9 hours to charge to 100%.

Tata Motors also produces the Tigor EV Electric Sedan, with a range of 140 km and 213 km. The company has launched an EV Subscription model earlier this month.

Tata Motors claims to have a market share of 62% in EVs in the first quarter of FY21.

Quite a feat during these pendamic times, now that it's been subscribed, sales should grow.

Thanks for the update Aditya.

I hope the battery prices get cheap enough to see the Nexon EV south of 10L. Or hopefully see the Altroz like this. I'm a Hyundai fan but wouldn't mind jumping ship for these EV beauties

Wow ! That's crazy figures for this EV considering the pandemic situation around.
Nexon EV -1000 units , MG ZSEV - 539 units & Kona EV-131 units in 2020 , that's around 1670 units without even counting eVerito & Tigor EV , huge gain for 4W EV market in India !

Highlights of Nexon EV:

* 200km average practical range.
* Excellent pricing at around <25% more than the fossil fuel variants .
* Optimum sized battery 30.2 KWH - Ease of charging, common 25KW fast charger recharges it in 1HR, most practical AC charging option recharges the battery in <8hr with a 15A plugs found everywhere, compared to 16-20hrs of the competition.
*Fastest growing charging network with Tata Power.

Good milestone indeed! Kudos Tata. Looks like they are pushing EVs much to Kerala market as the major festival Onam is around the corner. Happened to see couple of half page ads in local newspaper last few days specific to Nexon EV.

Can you elaborate? I tried searching for charging points on Tata motors website and it displays one only, atleast in Punjab

I would see Nexon EV doing good numbers if it comes with 500 KM range battery pack (approximately 450 KM real life range). 200 km practical range isn't good enough, the battery life would deplete just like our mobile phone batteries and eventually it would end up giving 100 km range in 3-4 years if used and charged daily. All the batteries will have certain life cycles. I highly doubt the longevity of these batteries. 8 years / 1.6 lakh KMs warranty on battery pack is quite assuring though. But only time and real life usage will tell how good they battery pack actually is! With that said, 500 KMs range would be more appealing for mass market.

The only cars in the world which provide 400km+ of real world range are the Teslas and the Kona/ENiro 64kwh. There is no point comparing range with these cars as the price point of the Nexon EV is much much lower. Is there any other electric car in the world which provides 200km of real world range without compromising utility for an equivalent of $20000 without subsidies? I don’t think so.

Do you really think that Tata will change batteries under warranty in 3-4 years of all their Nexon EVs sold today. Please share if you have read this happening to any EV( apart from the Nissan Leaf).

Mobile Phone batteries do not have liquid cooling, they are not temperature controlled unlike in Nexon EV( or most modern EVs). Yes batteries have certain life cycle like around 2000 cycles. With average of 200kms for every cycle, Nexon EV batteries will last for 2000*200 = 4 lakh kms. Also in most cases owners usually charge between 20-80% of battery, this is to get greater cycles.

Everyone would love 500 km range, but the world is short of batteries. Tata should find a balance between range, cost and getting hold of batteries in this supply constrained market. Most buyers of Nexon EV want to use it as a primary car for their daily city usage, for such a buyer 500km with a price tag of 25 lakhs does not make sense.
