Rumour: Long range Tigor EV for private buyers

According to a media report, Tata Motors is likely to introduce a long range version of the Tigor EV for private buyers.

At the moment, the Tigor EV, which is powered by a 16.2 kWh battery pack has a maximum range of 142 km (MIDC cycle) on a single charge. It is only sold to fleet operators. It is said that private buyers will be offered a more powerful version that is expected to have a maximum range of 200 km.

In its present configuration, the Tigor EV uses a 72V, 3-Phase AC induction motor that puts out 40 BHP @ 4,500 rpm and 105 Nm of torque @ 2,500 rpm and is mated to a single speed automatic transmission. Tata claims that the battery can be recharged to 80% of its capacity in 90 minutes using a 15 kW DC fast charger and in 6 hours using a normal charger.
