Pre-bookings for the Tigor EV have begun online as also in showrooms
The booking amount for the Tigor EV has been set at Rs. 21,000. While a lot of details of the Tigor EV have poured out today, the company has not said anything about the range that it provides. The Ziptron powered NexonEV gets a range of 312 km on a single charge and we expect that the Tigor EV could get something closer to that. It gets the same 26 kWh lithium-ion battery, along with a new Permanent Magnet Synchronous electric motor. The electric motor puts out 55 kW power output (74 bhp) and 170 Nm of peak torque.
The Tigor EV takes under 60 minutes to charge from 0 to 80% by using a fast charger
The company says that the Tigor EV can do a 0 to 60 kmph sprint in just 5.7 seconds. As far as charging times go, on a fast charger, the Tigor EV can be charged from 0 to 80 per cent in under 60 minutes and the same using a home charger takes 8.5 hours.
When launched, the Tigor EV will be the most affordable electric vehicle in the country and yes, it will boost Tata Motors' EV portfolio and sales as well.
