Long Range Tata Tigor EV In Works

Tata will introduce an updated Tigor EV for private buyers.

Tata Motors is working to introduce an updated Tigor EV for private buyers which will run on a comparatively larger battery pack and offer a range of 200 kms.

Currently, the Tata Tigor EV is available only for fleet owners and government organisations as part of the EESL tender. As of now it uses a 16.2 kWh battery and offers a maximum range of 142 kms on a single charge. The 16.2 kWh battery powers a 3-phase AC induction motor that produces 40 PS of power and 105 Nm of peak torque.

The car takes about 90 minutes to charge up to 80% when plugged via a DC 15 kW fast charger. A standard AC charger takes about 6 hours for the same. Since the Tigor EV right now is only available for commercial usage, the top speed is restricted to 80 km/hr as per the norms set by the government.

Currently, the Tata Tigor EV is available in 3 variants – XE, XM, and XT. The XE variant is available for Rs. 11.58 lakhs while the XT is available for Rs. 11.92 lakhs after the government announced a reduction in GST rates on electric vehicles. This price reduction brought down the cost of Tigor EV by Rs. 80,000/-. However, with the additional FAME II subsidy, the Tigor EV XE is available at Rs. 9.96 lakhs while the range-topping variant XT is available at Rs. 10.30 lakhs. (all prices, ex-showroom).
