    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.

    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

    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.

    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

      It is likely that supply chains could have been proactively strengthened or a higher inventory of raw materials was maintained. Tata reportedly imports battery cells from established suppliers from China. These cells are then assembled into battery packs by Tata AutoComp.
      To cater to the battery needs of its growing EV portfolio, Tata is building a battery gigafactory in India. The related entity, Agratas, will start manufacturing lithium-ion battery cells in 2026. Local manufacturing of battery packs will allow the brand to exercise greater control over production costs.
      Harrier EV – Performance, specs
      Harrier EV has two battery pack options – a 65-kWh and a 75-kWh unit. Certified range is 538 km with the smaller battery pack and 627 km with the larger battery (MIDC standards). However, Tata provides a more realistic range estimate with its C75 testing standards. C75 numbers are 420 km to 445 km with the 65-kWh battery pack and 480 km to 505 km with the 75-kWh battery variant.
      Harrier EV top variant is available in QWD format (quad wheel drive with dual motors), using the larger 75 kWh battery pack. It has a certified range of 622 km. C75 range for the QWD is 460 km to 490 km. Talking about performance, the RWD variants generate 238 PS and 315 Nm of torque.
      Harrier EV QWD dual motor variant generates 158 PS with the front motor and 238 PS with the rear motor. Combined torque output is 504 Nm. RWD variants get drive modes of Eco, City and Sport, whereas the QWD variant gets an additional Boost mode.
      50% EV market share target
      As competition in the electric segment has intensified, Tata Motors is looking to maintain market share of around 50% in the medium to long term. Good response to products like Harrier EV gives Tata the confidence to move ahead with its ambitious goals in the EV space.
      Tata Motors already has the largest portfolio of electric cars in the mass-market segment. There are several new EVs under development such as Safari EV, Sierra EV and Avinya range. To tackle increasing competition in the EV segment, Tata Motors has plans to build a war chest of up to 350 billion rupees ($4.1 billion). The funds are planned to be used over a five-year period.

      by

      Tata Harrier EV vs XEV 9e ComparedTata Harrier EV has been launched in India for a starting price of Rs 21.49 lakh (Ex-sh), which pits it directly against the Mahindra XEV 9e launched last year. Both vehicles are quite comparable in size and pack a futuristic set of features and creature comforts. Let’s take a look at how these vehicles differ in terms of specs, features and size on paper.
      Tata Harrier EV vs XEV 9e – Specs
      Let us start with pricing of Tata Harrier EV and Mahindra XEV 9e, where the former has a clear edge. Harrier EV prices start from Rs 21.49 lakh (Ex-sh) for the base Adventure trim, while base Mahindra XEV 9e Pack One starts from 21.9 lakh (Ex-sh) and goes till Rs 30.5 lakh (Ex-sh). Prices for Harrier EV’s top trim levels are yet to be revealed.
      It has to be noted that Harrier EV offers a 65 kWh battery with base model, while it is only 59 kWh with XEV 9e’s base variant. With their top trims, XEV 9e has an advantage as it offers 79 kWh battery where Harrier EV tops out at 75 kWh. With a larger battery and larger size, XEV 9e claims 656 km range and Harrier EV claims 627 km. Both promise around 500 km real world range.

      Where performance is concerned, Harrier EV has an edge as it can sprint to 100 km/h in just 6.2s, while it takes 6.8s with XEV 9e. Both are RWD as standard, but Harrier EV is the first Indian EV to offer a dual-motor QWD setup with higher trims with off-roading capability. Interestingly, Tata does not disclose peak system power with this setup but peak system torque is 504 Nm. XEV 9e tops out at 282 bhp and 380 Nm.
      DC charging is up to 175 kW with XEV 9e and up to 125 kW with Harrier EV, whereas AC charging top out at 7.2 kW with Harrier EV, where XEV 9e offers a faster 11.2 kW unit. Also, it has to be noted that only the XEV 9e has crash tested with a 5 Star rating, but Harrier EV is yet to be tested. However, given Tata’s track record with crash ratings, one could expect Harrier EV to score full fat 5 Stars.
      Dimensions & Design
      Where dimensions are concerned, it is quite clear that Mahindra XEV 9e is a longer vehicle by a considerable margin. However, Harrier EV is wider and taller, which lends it a much-needed gangsta look. When viewing from the front or rear, Harrier EV looks more substantial, while XEV 9e definitely looks larger from the side profile. Longer length ensures a longer wheelbase with XEV 9e which also translates to more legroom on the inside.
      Tata Harrier EV vs XEV 9e – Dimensions
      Harrier EV has smaller 502L boot space and up to 67L frunk. XEV 9e on the other hand, has a larger 663L boot and a 150L frunk. However, Harrier EV has a digital IRVM feature that allows you to load your luggage to the roof, while still offering rear view with the help of a camera positioned in its shark fin antenna. Both vehicles have almost similar ground clearance, but XEV 9e offers 19-inch wheels as standard. Harrier EV base variants start from 18-inchers. Also, XEV 9e offers an option to choose 20-inch wheels which is just absent with Harrier EV.
      Features & Creature Comforts
      Where features and creature comforts are concerned, both Harrier EV and XEV 9e blow a lot of punches. However, Harrier EV seems to blow more punches on paper. That’s because it has a panoramic sunroof that opens, a digital key feature, a digital IRVM with DVR function, a QLED screen with inky blacks for immersive visuals, electrically operated Boss Mode, winged headrest, Transparent Mode with 540-degree view and more.
      XEV 9e blows quite a few punches too as it has a triple screen layout, which is quite unique. Also, the instrument cluster is larger at 12.3-inches and a functional HUD with comprehensive features and BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) facility for rear occupants. XEV 9e offers a 1400W 16-speaker Harman Kardon music system with Dolby Atmos support. Common features between both are ADAS, self park, summon mode, ventilated front seats, memory function for driver’s seat, independent rear suspension and more.
      Tata Harrier EV vs XEV 9e – Features
      Choosing between Tata Harrier EV and XEV 9e is likely to come down to their design and not spec sheets and comparison tables. While XEV 9e is a handsome machine in isolation, it looks quite overdesigned when compared to Harrier EV. Where off-roading is concerned, Harrier EV is the only one to offer QWD setup with Terrain Response Modes. It will be interesting to see sales figures of both these vehicles once Harrier EV goes on sale.
