Tata Harrier EV Barricade AdSometimes actions that look controversial can turn out to be more effective at getting the message across
Potholes are a big problem in India and the situation gets worse during the monsoon season. While the pothole issue is widely reported, Tata.ev’s use of a traffic barricade to warn about potholes and also advertise the Harrier EV has sparked a massive debate on X. Many X users are unhappy with the seemingly insensitive guerrilla marketing tactics. But the barricade ad can actually prompt authorities to act. Let’s get some more details on this developing story.
Harrier EV pothole barricade ad
In the image, one can see a large section of the road completely destroyed by monsoon rains. The road appears to be a mix of concrete and bitumen road. Only a single lane appears to be usable, with fewer potholes than the water-covered pothole-infested stretch. It’s in front of the badly damaged road that a traffic barricade can be seen.
Tata Harrier EV Barricade Ad
Such barricading is often used to prevent vehicles from entering bad patches of a road. Lack of proper barricading can cause accidents in case a vehicle enters the damaged road section at a high speed. While the barricade serves its purpose, the message it bears is what has created a Twitter storm. It reads – Tata.ev the perfect road for Harrier.ev.
This can be interpreted in several different ways, depending on what an individual thinks about it. Some may tag it as an unethical marketing practice, whereas others may just treat it as a road safety measure that also doubles up as an ad for an electric SUV. But the point to note is that the barricade is actually working to prevent accidents. Moreover, it has no role in the creation of the potholes.
Social media reactions – X
Now that the barricade ad has gone viral, it might actually get this road fixed faster than it would under normal circumstances. While the ad placement may seem unethical, the barricade seems to be achieving multiple objectives. If certain actions help prevent accidents and draw attention to the pothole issue, the advertising aspect can be overlooked. It’s actually a good way to troll the authorities and make them fix the supermassive potholes.
Social media reactions – X
Why so many potholes in India?
While potholes are found across the globe, the problem is more severe in the country. There are many reasons and one of the most highlighted is the alleged corruption involved in road construction contracts. With contracts being given to the lowest bidder, it brings up the possibility of using substandard raw materials and construction equipment.
Social media reactions – X
However, construction quality is not the only reason that can lead to potholes. Weather extremes like high heat, cold and heavy rains for several days work to reduce the lifespan of roads. Lack of proper drainage systems is another factor that contributes to potholes. Standing water for long periods, combined with regular traffic flow, can compromise even the best roads.
Overloading of transport trucks is another factor that contributes to pothole formation. Also responsible is the growing number of extreme weather events. Roads are inundated for days, which leads to damage. Solutions for potholes exist and action is being taken. For example, Mumbai has been continuously increasing its concrete road network. These are resistant to water and last several decades. However, since not all roads can be concretized and multiple factors are involved, a lot more planning and effort will be needed to reduce the pothole issue. More
Tata Nexon EV : Image – JayarajTata Motors is preparing to update the Nexon EV lineup with Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) in select top-end variants. The upgrade will further strengthen Nexon EV’s positioning as one of the most feature-rich and advanced EVs in its segment.
Nexon EV Empowered+ A 45 to Lead the Pack
The new Empowered+ A 45 variant will sit at the top of the Nexon EV range. It builds on the already well-equipped Empowered 45 and Empowered Plus 45 trims that currently retail between Rs 15.99 lakh and Rs 17.19 lakh (ex-showroom). With the addition of ADAS Level 2, these models are expected to see a modest price increase, though Tata Motors is likely to keep them competitive against rivals.
The Empowered trims already offer premium equipment including a JBL sound system with subwoofer, 360-degree surround view camera with blind spot monitoring, voice-assisted panoramic sunroof, ventilated leatherette seats, V2V and V2L charging, Arcade.ev app suite, and a 31.24 cm cinematic touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
ADAS Level 2 Capabilities
These features will make the Nexon EV safer on highways, reduce driver fatigue, and place it closer to more expensive SUVs in terms of technology. The upcoming upgrade will introduce semi-autonomous driving functions such as:
– Adaptive cruise control– Lane keep assist and lane departure warning– Forward collision warning with autonomous emergency braking– Traffic sign recognition– High beam assist
Special Editions to Continue
The Dark Edition and Red Dark Edition versions will also carry forward, adding visual distinction with blacked-out styling, red accents, and premium finishes. These editions are expected to receive ADAS as well, aligning with their premium positioning.
The Nexon EV Empowered+ A 45 will continue with the 45 kWh battery pack offering a real-world range of 350–375 km and fast charging capability (20–80% in 20 minutes). Performance figures remain unchanged at 106 kW (143 PS), 215 Nm torque, and 0–100 km/h in 8.9 seconds. Tata Motors will also continue to offer a lifetime warranty on the high-voltage battery, a unique advantage in its class.
With Level 2 ADAS, the Nexon EV Empowered+ variants are set to become a benchmark in the under – Rs 20 lakh EV SUV category. Tata Motors’ move reflects growing customer demand for safety and technology in electric vehicles, while ensuring value remains a core part of the package.

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.

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.

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.

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.
