Driving my Tata Nexon EV from Goa to Mangalore: This car delivers!

I suspect this electric vehicle can do the same journey 15% more efficiently if I hypermilled.

Travel update

South Goa - Mangalore

Started at 91% and drove until 14%. Charged at Jio 60 kW in Udupi for 15mins. Upped to 43% as that was enough to reach Mangalore with 20% spare per my estimate.

Reality - I reached with 18% spare. That means 103% more consumed for 370 km @ 132 wh/km.

I used sports mode a lot in Karnal Ghats and maintained 85-95 kmph speeds throughout. Resulting in an average speed of 53 kmph for the whole journey.

The charging speeds and efficiency when driving like a regular car is very impressive.

I avoided hypermilling just to mimic ice driving. I am very familiar with hypermilling, and I suspect this car can do the same journey 15% more efficiently if I hypermilled. But that’s for my solo trips. Can’t annoy my wife anymore.

This car delivers and does not disappoint. Also, I used the small frunk of the Nexon very effectively for the Goa to Mangalore stretch, if you know what I mean.

Stay tuned for Mangalore to Bangalore upward elevation.
