How is daily life with the least expensive electric car from Tata?

The Tata Tiago EV is, to put it simply, the best Tiago variant available. The Tiago petrol-automatic top model costs about Rs 4 lakh less than this one. Is it really worth the trouble, or does it seem justified?

For a full three months, we will be able to ascertain that with the Tiago EV.

Home Charging Is A Must Have

Having a charging station in your parking space is practically a need if you want to drive a Tiago EV every day. It is best to obtain permissions from your landlord or housing society in order to do this, but it also ensures that the Tiago electric has a charge whenever you need it.

You are reliant on charging stations if you find yourself in a predicament similar to mine where installing a charger is not an option. In this case, charging is not only more expensive, but there are additional costs involved as well, such as the trouble of downloading additional apps, adding funds to the digital wallet, and occasionally even having to wait for a charger to become available. We’ll compare a few different private charging stations in a later report, but it looks like this process takes some getting used to.

Tata Tiago EV

In addition, Tata states that DC fast charging from 10 to 80 percent can be completed in 58 minutes. The Tiago EV required precisely 57 minutes to charge from 10 to 80 percent, as we had confirmed with the Tiago EV charge time full report. While a 70 percent charge in less than an hour may sound impressive, it’s crucial to keep in mind that this only equates to a range of roughly 140 kilometers.

We would advise you to only fast charge when absolutely necessary, as frequent fast charging is bad for the battery anyway. If not, it is much preferable to let the Tiago EV charge slowly over night.

A full charge of the Tiago EV, which we are currently testing, lasts roughly 200 km, or roughly 2 km for every percentage of battery life. I feel somewhat certain that I won’t be left stranded or worried while looking for a charger now that we’ve made several runs inside Mumbai city.

In one specific case, I believed I would be coming close. 110 km of range when we left home, 94 km inside the city, and 34 km extra. You come to trust the Tiago EV a little bit more as you use it more frequently.

It’s time to get behind the wheel more often now that I have a reasonable amount of faith in the Tiago EV. A few concerns have already been raised, mostly regarding the in-cabin storage areas and the durability of the white interior, given that a restless toddler is frequently going in it.
