Tata Tiago EV Real World Range: Revealed-
Now let’s talk about the performance of India’s most affordable electric car, toh jaisa ki hum ne aap ko bataya that Tata Tiago EV will be offered with medium range and long range battery packs. What we tested was the long range version, Tata Tiago EV ke long range variants mein 24 kWh ka battery pack diya gaya hain with which the claimed range stands at 315 kms (MIDC). Real life conditions mein we tested this car with the AC on and in almost every possible road jo humari reach mein thi at the time of testing.
We found out that claimed range se somewhere around 60% se 65% tak ka range offer kiya Tiago EV ne, in our case hum ne sports mode mein switch nahi kiya to churn out as much range as possible. This means that hume from 100% till 2% charge left situation mein around 185 kms tak ki range offer kari gaadi ne, obviously 2% mein agar hum aur drive karte toh maybe 185 kms ka figure could have change to somewhere 190 kms. But definitely yeh situation hum ne aane di to properly test the vehicle, but real life mein jab charge somewhere 10-15% left hoga tab hee driver would bring the car to the nearest charging port available, jo ki definitely ideal and wise decision hoga kisi bhi EV owner ka.
Abb agar baat kare kya yeh range enough hain for you to drive around? toh our answer would be Yes! agar aap drive karte hain around the city in bumper to bumper traffic then definitely yeh gaadi aap ke liye cost effective prove hogi with almost no range anxiety. But agar aap chahte hain that aap clock kar sake 200 kms in a single full charge and travel inter state then hum recommend karenge that aap charging spots ko dhyaan mein rakh ke hee start kare apna travel and ready rahe for the range anxiety to kick in.
Tata Tiago EV as a product kaafi acchi tarah se develop kiya gaya hain and finally the middle class can access the EV mobility with ease and comfort. Apart from this car’s safety, fit and finish thoda compromised aap ko dekhne ko milega which is major downside of this EV. Pricing ko kaafi hadd tak control karne ki koshish kari gayi hain which is quite evident after looking at the price of the base model of Tata Tiago EV.
As far as practicality is concerned, Tata Tiago EV mein enough space hain inside tha cabin for four people to travel. But bootspace mein aap ko two cabin baggage rakhne se zyada space nahi milega, small duffle bags might fit on top of the cabin luggages and that’s the maximum you can fit in this car’s boot. Gaadi mein sab hee useful features diye gaye hain and cabin mein use kiya gaya leatherette upholstery gives the interior a premium feel keeping the cost in mind. Again would like to highlight that inside Tiago EV, aap spot kar sakte hain quality control and fit and finish issues.
Tata Tiago EV: Final Word-
Tata Tiago EV ek high potential product hain and with so many tech on offer as standard across all the variants is the cherry on top. Pricing of the Tata Tiago EV has not been revealed yet, bas base variant ka price has been revealed jo hain Rs.8.49 lakh ex-showroom. This car is meant for the customers jinka daily city travel is somewhere between 50 kms to 150 kms with decent AC usage as well, and aap definitely worth it feel karenge over IC engine cars.
Now the real downside is the claimed range vs the actual range, what Tata claims is certainly gimmicky as not everyone would be able to drive Tiago EV in ideal conditions keeping every factor in check in order churn out a range figure as high and as close as to 300 km mark. Secondly, quality control definitely improvements ki urgent requirement hain because the top spec of this E would cost somewhere around that 11.5 lakh mark.
On the brighter side, Tata Tiago EV performs decently well enough that aap ko apna money well utilised feel hoga. Tiago EV se filhal yahi expect kiya jaa raha hain that it will hurt the sales of other IC engine cars in this price bracket.
