The Mahindra XUV400 EV is the closest competitor to the Tata Nexon EV, which is the most well-liked electric SUV in the nation. Their top varieties feature DC fast charging and have comparable capacities thanks to their larger battery packs.

While the Mahindra XUV400 EV claims a range of 456 km, the Nexon EV LR claims a range of 465 km. If you’re pressed for time, though, the Mahindra electric SUV can top off its range more quickly—45 minutes—than the Tata EV.
