For a long time, people thought that electric vehicles might not be able to withstand long-term ownership. However, proving this wrong, recently a video has been shared online in which a Tata Nexon EV Prime owner shares his experience of owning this electric SUV for more than four years. The main highlight of this particular Tata Nexon EV is that the owner has driven it more than 2.1 lakh km, which makes it one of the highest mileage electric cars in India. The owner in the video has added that despite these many km, the battery health has not degraded.

This video, talking about the long-term ownership experience of the Tata Nexon EV Prime, has been shared on YouTube by Amar Drayan on their channel. In this short video, the vlogger first introduces this particular Tata Nexon EV Prime and highlights that the owner of this particular car has driven it over 2.1 lakh km. Following this, he asks the owner to introduce himself.

Why Tata Nexon EV Prime?

In the ownership experience video, the vlogger first asks the owner about his decision to buy the Tata Nexon EV. To this, the owner replies that back in 2020, he was looking to sell his Ford Ecosport SUV, which he had already driven over 2.7 lakh km. He then explained that as he was looking for a replacement, he saw a television commercial of the Nexon EV and decided to wait for the car.

Following this, he added that he was one of the very first people to reserve the Tata Nexon EV Prime in India. After this, the vlogger asked him about his work and how much he drives his car every day. To this, the owner stated that he has a packaged drinking water business, and for it, he has to travel around 150–160 km every day.

What about the charging and performance of this Nexon EV?

Next up, the vlogger asks him about the charging situation of his Nexon EV. The owner states that he only uses the commercial fast chargers when he is traveling out of station. Meanwhile, when he has to drive locally, which is the majority of his time, he added that he only uses his home charger, which was offered by Tata Motors.

Following this, the vlogger asks the owner about the performance of this car after driving it for over 4.5 years. To this, the owner replies that the vehicle has been performing flawlessly and he has not seen any drop in performance. He added that even today, when the vehicle is driven without the air conditioning system, it provides a range of 300+ km. However, with the air conditioning system on, the range drops to around 220–230 km.

Has charging infrastructure improved and what about service cost?

The vlogger then asks the owner of this car about the difference in overall charging infrastructure after 4.5 years of ownership. He then replies that the charging infrastructure has improved significantly, and on all the major highways of Northern India, there are DC fast chargers up to 160 kW, which has made travelling on longer routes easier.

Following this, the vlogger inquires about the service cost of this vehicle. To this, he mentions that so far he has sent the vehicle for service around 14–15 times. As a result of this, the total cost of service of this particular Nexon EV Prime has come to around Rs 60,000–65,000, which is half in comparison to any ICE vehicle. Overall, the owner stated that he is very happy with this vehicle.
