No forward gear changes means no jerks on acceleration which improve comfort for all passengers.

Hi Everyone

Our Nexon.EV Empowered plus just finished a 2000km plus family trip across Maharashtra during the Diwali vacation.

We were 3 Adults and 3 kids and a baby on lap with fully loaded luggage compartment.

During our return journey we used Z connect app for trip analysis attached here.

The car is full of software niggles at present.

But the ride experience and driving comfort make up for these issues. No forward gear changes means no jerks on acceleration which improve comfort for all passengers.

We drove around 150 km on Samruddhi Mahamarg in each direction.

We also visited Shegaon and Melghat Tiger reserve near MP border. Incidentally they have a working 7.2 kw fast charger in the Melghat Tiger reserve.

Here is our car charging at Mozari point near Chikhaldhara.

Kids loved the tech in the car.

Charging breaks with chargers in nearby to restaurants had our baby and kids energized and happy. Breakfast, Lunch and evening tea or snacks each took 30 min more as the car got its juice from fast chargers.

Over all the one sided 750km trip took 90 more but saved around 75-80 % of fuel bills and caused no Air pollution.
