    Tesla killer from India? This $21,200 Tata EV claims a 300-km range

    Budget-friendly Nexon EV from Indian car-maker makes a splash


    Published:  January 14, 2020 13:51 Jay Hilotin, Senior Web News Editor

    Tata Nexon EV
    The Nexon EV, set to be available this January, is Tata's first electric SUV, fitted with the company' new Ziptron electric powertrain technology. The car is expected to offer a range of 250-300 km on a full charge. Image Credit: Supplied

    Tata Nexon EV
    FEATURES: The Nexon EV sports Tata's new "Ziptron" powertrain, which utilises a permanent magnet AC motor that develops 129ps of power and 245Nm of torque. It draws power from a 30.2kWh battery pack. Tata claims a range of more than 300km on a single charge for the Nexon EV, whose battery pack also reportedly supports fast charging, pumping up to 0-80% charge in less than an hour.

    The Nexon EV Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
    NEXON EV BATTERY, INFOTAINMENT: It has a high-density, liquid-cooled battery pack, meant for Indian conditions. The battery pack follows the "skateboard" design, placed underneath the body, giving the Nexon, an SUV, a centre of gravity comparable to that of a sedan, improving stability and handling on winding roads. It also comes with a Harman infotainment system, and supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Image Credit: Tata

    TATA’S CORE COMPETENCY: Tata Motors is a competitive Asian powerhouse. The biggest challenge for Tata Motors, however, is whether or not it can put together the right team to pull off an AI-based self-driving system that would rival Tesla’s and make its EVs as compelling to both the domestic and international customers.

    TESLA VS TATA: The California-based EV disruptor run by Elon Musk, dubbed as the “Thomas Edison of our time”, has adopted a simple strategy — build high-end, low-volume EVs now and, with the money it makes, subsidize mass-production models tomorrow. Tata, on the other hand, has a wealth of experience in building made-for-the-masses vehicles in its home turf, India, a country endowed with software skills, industrial prower and competitive labour cost.

    PRICE: The 300-km-range Tata Nexon EV is listed Rs15.00 lakh (Dh77,807), about $21,200. Tata Motors, which also carries the Jaguar Land Rover brand, has a wealth of experience in building affordable ICE vehicles. Image Credit: Supplied

    ON SALE THIS 2020: Expected to go on sale this 2020, the price is significantly lower than an entry-level Tesla Model 3 (which starts at $35,000). Image Credit: Supplied

    CHARGING: Nexon EV charging options include fast charting (CCS 2), which delivers up to 80% charge in 60 minutes. Regular charging, using any 15-Amp plug point, takes up to 8 hours to get a 100% charge. Image Credit: Tata

    Tesla battery
    TESLA’S CORE COMPETENCY: Tesla has a world-leading proprietary battery technology. But it is primarily a software company, instead of being just a pure auto manufacturer. So far, Tesla is the only automaker that's also leading in the development of AI-based self-driving system, with billions of kilometres of data harvested from its fast-growing fleet of EVs across the world, which are then used to "train" artificial neural networks to make full self-driving (FSD) as a revenue-generating service.

    Tesla Model 3
    BATTERY TECHNOLOGY: A standard-range Tesla Model 3 has a claimed range of 409km (based on WLTP standard). Tesla has moved from 18650 to the 2170 cylindrical lithium-ion battery format for its popular Model 3. Its EV batteries are made through a partnership with Japanese-owned Panasonic. Tesla has also acquired Canadian battery maker Hibar Systes Ltd. as the company ramps up in-house battery systems for its growing number of vehicles. Image Credit: File

    1.1923073-1808520671
    Tesla seeks to build its own batteries, and has made back-to-back acquisitions — US super-capacitor maker Maxwell ($218 million) and Canadian battery manufacturer Hibar Systems as well as AI startup DeepScale last year. Indians, on the other hand, have a wealth of software engineers spread all over the world. How soon can they put together a battery system and the spaghetti of codes in order to compete head to head with Tesla’s AI-driven self-driving vehicle system? Only time will tell. Image Credit: File
