The Tata Nexon EV will also be based on the Ziptron tech.
The battery pack used in the new tech will be liquid cooled and will be packed in a solid IP67 rated case which provides high tensile outer shell to protect critical EV components. The company also says that the Battery Management System (BMS) has been designed for extended battery life of up to eight years and promises consistent performance during its span. The powertrain uses a permanent magnet AC motor with regenerative braking which charges the battery on the drive. Moreover, it gets a dedicated cooling circuit in a bid to provide consistent performance in hot weather conditions.
