      Tata Harrier EV Summon Mode Mishap Reported in Tamil Nadu, One Dead

      by

      Tata Harrier EV Summon Mode MishapA tragic incident has been reported from Avinashi, Tamil Nadu, where a brand-new Tata Harrier EV allegedly malfunctioned while operating in “summon mode,” resulting in the death of a user’s relative.
      According to a post shared by a Reddit user earlier today, the victim sustained a severe head injury during the mishap and later succumbed. The incident, captured on video, shows the SUV in motion under summon mode — a feature that allows the vehicle to move autonomously at low speeds without direct driver input.

      Fatal Accident Reported Involving Tata Harrier EV Summon Mode in Tamil Nadu pic.twitter.com/ETgWyoz8GF
      — RushLane (@rushlane) August 20, 2025

      According to a Reddit post, the incident occurred when the vehicle’s summon mode was either activated accidentally or malfunctioned. The car reportedly began moving while the driver’s side door was open. In an attempt to stop the moving SUV, the man tried to apply the brakes, but slipped and fell, sustaining a head injury. He was declared brain dead by doctors shortly after.
      The CCTV time and date stamp is 14th August 2025, evening around 5:53 PM. The circumstances that led to the accident remain unclear, and it is not yet verified whether the malfunction was due to a technical fault, user error, or external factors.

      Family members are still in shock and have not initiated legal proceedings against Tata Motors. The Redditor further claimed that the deceased had already faced a software-related issue with the Harrier EV prior to the accident. On one occasion, the car reportedly shut down on the road and failed to restart until technicians from the dealership intervened. Authorities in Avinashi are yet to confirm details about the case or whether an investigation has been initiated.
      Tata Motors has reached out to clarify that the Harrier EV involved in the reported incident remains with the family, and not with the company. Below is the official statement from the company.
      Update 21st Aug – Tata Motors Statement
      “We were informed of the tragic accident and are deeply saddened by the loss. Our thoughts, prayers, and heartfelt support are with the deceased’s family. We are currently gathering all relevant facts. Preliminary observations from video shared online/ on social media suggests that the vehicle may have rolled back from the top of a slope due to gravity and ricocheted after striking an unknown object, suggesting that the motor was not engaged. The vehicle remains with the family and has been driven since the incident, and we have not yet had the opportunity to inspect it.”
      The Harrier EV, which was launched a few weeks ago, is among the company’s most advanced electric SUVs, equipped with modern driver-assist and convenience features, including summon functionality. The reported death has sparked concern and debate online about the safety of semi-autonomous features in vehicles operating in Indian conditions. Road safety experts stress that while advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and summon functions are designed for convenience, they must always be used with caution, and users should remain vigilant.

      Tata.ev Charging Report 2025 – Key Insights Revealed For EV Users

      by

      Harrier EV Receives Record 10,000 BookingsA significant improvement has been noted in EV charging infrastructure across the country, although some snags still need ironing out
      To provide an overview of EV usage trends and the prevailing EV charging infrastructure in the country, Tata.ev has published its India Charging Report 2025. The comprehensive report provides data-backed insights that will benefit the entire EV ecosystem and all stakeholders. Let’s take a look at the key findings of the report.
      EV adoption and usage patterns
      Tata’s report reveals that electric vehicles are now present across 65% of the pin codes in the country. 84% of users utilize their EV as their primary vehicle. This is an improvement from the 74% reported in 2023. Another interesting revelation is that EVs are being used more by their owners, as compared to usage by ICE car owners. This could be due to the lower running cost of EVs.
      Tata.ev Charging Report 2025
      Tata.ev Charging Report 2025
      Average running of EVs is 1,600 km per month, which is 40% more than average distance of ICE vehicles. In 2023, EVs were ahead by 11%. EVs are also being used more frequently, an average of 27 days per month. That’s 35% more, as compared to ICE vehicles. This again is due to the lower running cost of EVs. Other factors also come into play such as ease of driving and seamless availability of charging stations.
      One can also see in the report that EVs are being used across more than 95% of the road network in the country. This is a positive development in terms of EV penetration, consumer confidence in their vehicles and easy availability of charging stations across the country.
      Tata.ev Charging Report 2025
      Tata.ev Charging Report 2025
      As per the report, 50% of Tata EV owners have successfully covered 500 km and more on their vehicles across important corridors. It includes routes such as Delhi-Manali, Mumbai-Goa and Hyderabad-Bengaluru. This data highlights that EV charging stations are easily available across leading highways. Also dispels the myth that EVs are only for urban commuting. Long distance travelling on EVs is a major trend and many users regularly share their experiences.

      Public charging network availability and usage
      A massive 4X growth has been noted in the number of public chargers. From 5,500 public chargers in 2023, the number has now reached 24,000. These are spread across both highways and urban centres. Tata utilizes a proprietary spatial analysis methodology based on hexbin mapping to accurately assess fast charger availability across metro areas. The methodology utilizes processes such as route data mapping (GPS based tracking of EV and ICE journeys) and charger proximity analysis.
      Based on the analysis, it has been found that 91% of national highways now have charging options within a radius of 50 km. This is an improvement over the 60% availability noted in 2023. States with 100% charger availability (within 50 km) include Karnataka, Haryana, Delhi, Kerala, Bihar, Chandigarh, Punjab, Goa, Tripura, Sikkim, Puducherry, Daman & Diu and Dadra & Nagar Haveli.
      Tata.ev Charging Report 2025
      Tata.ev Charging Report 2025
      Another interesting thing revealed is that around 25% of the charging stations are reaching utilization levels above profitability thresholds. This is a positive development for people and entities who may be looking to set up EV charging stations as a business. User trust in public charging stations is also growing.
      Tata report mentions that 35% of its EV users charge their vehicle at a public charging station, at least once a month. This is an improvement from the 21% noted in 2023. Nearly 77% of Tata EV owners have gone on trips where they needed to use public charging stations. In fact, close to 14,000 of them depend on public charging as their primary source.

      Tata.ev Charging Report 2025
      Key challenges
      While EV charging infrastructure is rapidly improving, a number of challenges remain. For example, non-functioning chargers are a major pain point. As of Feb 2024, around 12,100 of the approximately 25,000 public chargers were found to be non-functional.
      Another hassle is the difficulty in finding a working charging station. Users are reportedly using 17 – 20 apps just to locate a functional charging station. Digital payments are also sometimes a challenge, especially for elderly users or owners of chauffeur-driven vehicles.
      Tata.ev Charging Report 2025
      Tata.ev innovative solutions for EV users
      For the convenience of EV users, Tata.ev is expanding its network of verified charging stations. These state-of-the-art charging points lead the way in terms of accessibility, compatibility and operational reliability. Before being included in Tata’s network, the charging stations are thoroughly vetted for their operability and compatibility. Consistent positive customer feedback is also a prerequisite.
      Since the launch of the verified network, a 37% jump has been noted in the utilization of these chargers. Tata.ev has also been helping EV users with DrivePay in-car solution, tap and pay with unified RFID card, iRA.ev app and UPI integration. A dedicated charging call centre has been set up to quickly resolve user issues.
      Tata.ev Charging Report 2025
      Tata is also building its Mega Charger network, which will be available at strategic locations. These will focus on speed and reliability. Tata’s Mega Charger network will have 120 kW charging speeds and 95% uptime. These charging stations will provide priority access to Tata EV users and 25% lower tariff.
      Thirty such charging stations are already active in partnership with ChargeZone, Statiq and Zeon. These can be located via the iRA.ev app. Tata has plans to increase the mega chargers to 500 by 2027. These will be available across both highways and urban areas. More

      Mahindra BE 6, XEV 9e Launched in Nepal – Priced NPR 57 Lakh, NPR 69 Lakh, Resp.

      by

      Mahindra BE 6 Launched in NepalMost of Mahindra cars sold in India are available in Nepal as well including bestsellers like Scorpio N, XUV700, XUV3XO, XUV400, Bolero and Scorpio/Bolero Pickups
      Expanding its EV portfolio in Nepal, Mahindra has introduced the BE 6 and XEV 9e electric SUVs. The launch took place during the ongoing NAIMA Nepal Mobility Expo 2025. Bookings for BE 6 and XEV 9e are now open in the Himalayan Kingdom. Let’s check out the details.
      Mahindra BE 6, XEV 9e – Variants on offer
      BE 6 in Nepal is available in three variants – Pack One Above, Pack Two and Pack Three Select. On the other hand, the XEV 9e is available in Pack Two, Pack Three Select and Pack Three variants. Prices start at NPR 57 lakh for BE 6 and NPR 69 lakh for XEV 9e. That’s Rs 35.66 lakh and Rs 43.17 lakh, respectively.
      Mahindra XEV 9e Launched in Nepal
      In India, Mahindra BE 6 is available at a starting price of Rs 18.90 lakh (no charger option). Cost with the 7.2 kW and the 11.2 kW charger is Rs 19.40 lakh and Rs 19.65 lakh, respectively. Similarly, the XEV 9e is available at a starting price of Rs 21.90 lakh (no charger). Base variant price with the 7.2 kW charger is Rs 22.40 lakh. Customers choosing the 11.2 kW charger have to pay Rs 22.65 lakh.
      Prices are on the higher side in Nepal, as the country imposes significant import duty. For ICE cars, Nepal has import duty in the range of 60% to 240%, depending on the engine capacity. Import duty is relatively less for EVs and it is based on the power output.
      Lower output electric motors for Nepal
      In a move that is likely aimed at reducing import duties, Mahindra is offering the BE 6 and XEV 9e in Nepal with lower output motors. Most variants are powered by a 99-kW electric motor. The XEV 9e Pack Three variant offers the best performance, equipped with a 199-kW electric motor. In comparison, Mahindra BE 6 and XEV 9e in India have power output of 170 kW or 210 kW, based on the variant.
      Mahindra sends its vehicles to Nepal as CBUs, since there is no local manufacturing or assembly unit. Sales and service are done by Agni Mahindra, the official distributor of Mahindra vehicles in Nepal. It is the sole distributor of Mahindra vehicles in Nepal and has been active for the last three decades.
      Since the battery pack capacity is the same as in India, the range is not impacted. BE 6 in Nepal is being offered with the 59-kWh battery pack, offering a range of 557 km (MIDC P1+P2). The XEV 9e in Nepal is being offered with the 79-kWh battery pack, offering a range of 656 km. In India, both SUVs have the 59-kWh and the 79-kWh battery pack options, based on the variant. Mahindra BE 6 and XEV 9e utilize LFP battery packs, which are known for their safety, reliability and long life.
      Equipment list
      Both SUVs offer a comprehensive range of premium features. Some of the key highlights include a race-inspired digital cockpit (BE 6), cinematic triple-screen display (XEV 9e), Sonic Studio by Harman Kardon and VisionX augmented-reality heads-up display. Users can access preset themes of Calm, Cozy and Club via the LiveYourMood function. Safety kit is pretty robust with ADAS Level 2 for BE 6 and ADAS Level 2+ for XEV 9e. Other highlights include a driver monitoring system and a 360° view camera setup. More

      Vinfast 7-Seater SUV Design Trademarked In India – 60 kWh, 450 km Range

      by

      Vinfast 7-Seater SUV Design Patented In IndiaRenowned Vietnamese brand, Vinfast, is shaping up its portfolio in India as the company has lined up VF 6 and VF 7 electric SUVs. Both of them are premium electric SUVs with a maximum seating capacity of 5 occupants. However, there seems to be a new electric SUV in the pipeline for India, which will be Vinfast’s first 7-seater electric SUV in India. Let’s take a closer look.
      Vinfast 7-Seater SUV
      After inaugurating their first ever manufacturing facility outside of Vietnam and third operational facility globally in Toothukudi, Tamil Nadu, Vinfast seems to be gearing up for a portfolio expansion. The company has just trademarked design of a new 7-seater electric SUV in India which will appeal to both fleet buyers and large families in India.
      Vinfast 7-Seater SUV Design Patented In India
      We say fleet buyers because the vehicle we are looking at is called Vinfast Limo Green, which the company has listed as a “Service Vehicle” and not a “Car” on their website. It is aimed at fleet buyers looking to operate electric 7-seaters. In Vietnam, Vinfast calls it an MPV and not an SUV, which might be changed in India, considering market trends.
      Where design is concerned, Vinfast Limo Green is quite good looking. It has a minimal front fascia with what looks like a connecting LED light bar along with sleek vertically arranged headlights. In fact, it looks far sleeker than VF 6 and VF 7, launching soon in India. Side profile has a strong SUV-ish silhouette accentuated by tough-looking body cladding.
      Vinfast Limo Green
      Specs & Features
      Dimensionally, Vinfast Limo Green measures 4,740 mm in length, 1,872 mm in width, 1,728 mm in height and has a 2,840 mm long wheelbase. It has large 18-inch alloy wheels and a ground clearance of 170 mm. There are disc brakes at all four corners too. Battery is a 60.13 kWh unit which promises a range of 450 km on a single charge (NEDC).
      Vinfast Limo Green
      Vinfast Limo Green is a FWD vehicle with a single electric motor rated at 201 bhp of peak power and 280 Nm of peak torque. It has three driving modes – Eco, Comfort and Sport. Fast DC charging is supported and Limo Green will go from 10%-70% SOC in 30 minutes.
      Vinfast Limo Green
      On the inside, Vinfast Limo Green gets a 10.1-inch infotainment screen and a minimal dashboard and a three-spoke steering wheel. Features include leatherette upholstery, 360-degree camera, a floating centre console, chrome highlights for premium appeal, three-row seating to accommodate up to 7 occupants and more.
      Vinfast Limo Green
      Will it launch in India?
      Vinfast Limo Green deliveries commenced on 5th August 2025 as the company handed over the first batch to customers. Deliveries started four months after bookings began and 7 months after it debuted. There’s a good probability of Vinfast Limo Green launching in India considering market trends favouring 7-seater offerings in EV segment.
      Vinfast Limo Green
      In Vietnam, Vinfast Limo Green has been priced at VND 749 Million that includes a 7-year or 1,60,000 km warranty and free charging at all V-Green public charging stations. This turns out to be around Rs 25 lakh in today’s conversion rates. If the same price is employed for Indian market, it will rival the BYD eMAX 7, Kia Carens Clavis EV and upcoming Mahindra XEV 7e.
