Cheapest EV in India

 


Tiago  Prelude-                                          Tata Tiago ICE was a project (internally known as Kite 5) was launched in 2013 to produce two new small vehicles that were affordable. Therefore, these two vehicles would replace the models Tata Zest and Bolt, which failed to meet expectations due to their radical redesigns of their predecessors Indica Vista and Indigo Manza. Tigor, in particular, takes the role of the Tata Zest.

Back in the 2018 Auto Expo, Tata introduced the electric sedan, compact, covering a distance of 142km. This version was initially available for commercial purposes only and later on to private buyers in October 2019.

The facelifted version of October 2018 brought the most significant modifications to the front headlamps, grille, alloy wheels, and seats in new chrome colours. It came with a new 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system that supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

The facelifted Tiago EV has longer range than Tigor EV's 213km. Also with 4 variants and different charging options.

The latest launch on 29th Sept 2022, introduced the Ziptron powered EV version with 4 variants. Tata Motors introduced an electric vehicle technology.

The Tigor EV is powered by a 26kWh lithium-ion battery pack and uses this brand-driven electric vehicle revolutionary technology.

The electric car produces 74 bhp and 170 Nm of torque and accelerates from 0 to 60 kms per hour in 5.7 seconds. It also supports CCS2 charging, which includes rapid charging and charging from any 15A outlet. When connected to a fast charger, the battery can be charged from zero to 80 percent in roughly 65 minutes.

Tiago EV

Tata Motors' EV shocked us in more ways than one, breaking the barrier by becoming the most inexpensive electric vehicle on the market. Unlike the one utilised by fleet owners, Tiago EV has been designed to focus on personal mobility. This shift in emphasis is now geared toward performance.






The price of the Electric version for Tiago EV ranges between ? 8.49 Lakh - ? 11.99 Lakh. The 4 automatic transmission variants are XE, XM, XZ Plus, and XZ Plus Dual Tone. In the cheap electric car sector, the facelifted Tiago EV has no direct competitors. However, it is Rs.4 lakh more inexpensive than its elder sister, the Nexon EV. The forthcoming Mahindra KUV100 EV is expected to be its main challenger. Daytona Grey and Teal Blue are the two exterior colours available. With a black roof, you may have both colours. Tiago cleared the crash test under the latest #SaferCarsForIndia by Global NCAP and bagged a 4-star rating for adult and child occupancy.
