Tata Motors produces 1,000th Nexon EV

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.
