Tata Motors is becoming popular

Since the beginning of the current fiscal year, Tata Motors has witnessed an immense surge in its electric vehicle offerings, due to the growing popularity of the ‘vocal for local’ campaign by the central government. In the last 11 months of this fiscal year, Tata Motors has sold 21,500 electric vehicles, combining both Nexon EV and Tigor EV, which has resulted in a market share of 87 per cent in the EV category for Tata Motors.

Currently, Tata Motors is offering two products in the electric mobility segment – the Nexon EV and Tigor EV. The Tata Nexon EV is available with a 129 PS electric motor and a 30.2 kWh lithium-ion battery, which returns a maximum driving range of 312 km (WLTP cycle). On the other hand, the Tata Tigor EV is on sale with a 75 PS electric motor and a 26 kWh lithium-ion battery, which returns a range of 306 km. The carmaker will be adding more electric vehicles to its lineup, with the Altroz EV being the speculated next launch from it.
