During the past year, the company has seen a 59 percent increase in EV sales and Tata Motors continues to add more products to their EV range with the new Tiago launched last year.What has aided the company in its growth is the fact that these electric vehicles are being offered in three body styles of hatchback (Tiago EV), sedan (Tigor EV), and SUV (Nexon EV), thus appealing to customers both in the premium and mass market segments.Tata Motors’ Electric Vehicle (EV) Sales PerformanceTalking about Tata Motors EV sales during the past calendar year, sales touched 69,153 units in CY 2023, a 59 percent YoY growth over 43,451 units sold in CY 2022.

      Tata Punch EV Buyers Get Price Quotes Ahead Of Launch – Tata Calls It A Glitch

      by

      Tata Punch EV PriceThe new Tata Punch EV buyers have received a price quotation via email from Tata Motors ahead of the electric car’s launchIndia’s highest-selling electric car maker is Tata Passenger Electric Mobility, a subsidiary of Tata Motors. The company yesterday revealed Punch EV in official pictures and commenced bookings too. But the prices seem to have leaked from Tata’s booking portal with many buyers who booked Punch EV, reported getting price quotations.Tata Punch EV Buyers Get Price QuotesThe company’s newest electric car is Punch.ev which was revealed ahead of launch yesterday. Punch EV will debut company’s acti.ev pure-electric platform on which future products will be based. Bookings for Tata Punch EV (sold as Punch.ev) commenced yesterday. Official prices are to be revealed at launch.However, many Punch EV buyers who booked their new electric car, reported that Tata Motors gave them a price quotation for their booked variant via email. One buyer (X handle techgeeksid) who booked Punch EV LR (Long Range) Adventure (without sunroof) with a 3.3 kW charger, got a quote via email from Tata Motors for a price of Rs. 13,73,846 (ex-sh).Another Punch EV buyer (X handle Hariraj_Rathod) booked a top-spec Punch EV LR Empowered Plus (with sunroof) with a 3.3 kW charger via Shreeji Automart dealership and he received a price quotation in the email for Rs. 16,13,729 (ex-sh). This was not supposed to happen, as per Tata Motors.Tata Punch EV owners get price quotesAre the quoted prices wrong, though?The company quickly got to damage control and posted on X saying “Technical hiccup alert! The prices making the rounds of Punch.ev are because of a system glitch. We’re actively addressing it, and the official prices will be disclosed at launch. Thanks for your patience!”. Tesla Club India X account highlighted these glitches.However, the company didn’t mention whether the quoted prices were wrong or valid. Something similar happened with Nexon facelift launch in September 2023 where base model price was leaked as Rs. 7.39 lakh by tatanexonofficial official Instagram handle. Then, company’s official response to that had the word “inaccurate” in it.This turned out to be true later on as Nexon’s prices started from Rs. 8.1 lakh. That said, we would wager that the quoted price Punch EV buyers got, is highly likely to be true as the company didn’t directly deny these leaked prices. Or a glitch, as they call it.Prices to not exceed Rs. 17 lakh?In effect, Tata Punch EV prices for top-spec models could stay well under Rs. 17 lakh (ex-sh). Hariraj Rathod’s quoted price was Rs. 16.13 lakh for a top-spec model for a 3.3 kW AC charger. Considering that there may be a Dark Edition or a variant with a 7.2 kW AC charger, sub Rs. 17 lakh (ex-sh) prices are very probable.Punch EV’s direct competitor is Citroen eC3 and Renault’s Kiger EV is incoming too. Citroen eC3’s top-spec variant is Feel Vibe Pack DT and it tops out at Rs. 13 lakh (ex-sh) and significantly lacks in features when compared to soon-to-be-launched Punch EV. More

      Tata Punch EV Debut Today With Long and Medium Range – Official Teaser

      by

      Tata Punch Electric SpiedA number of features onboard Punch EV will be borrowed from the recently launched Nexon EV faceliftIn a short span of time, Tata Motors had acquired a leadership position in the electric PV segment. To maintain its dominance, the company has introduced new products at regular intervals. The newest entrant is Punch EV, which will rival the likes of Citroen eC3 and upcoming Hyundai Exter EV.Tata Punch EV specs, featuresSimilar to the strategy being followed with Tiago EV and Nexon EV, there will be medium range and long-range versions of Punch EV. This strategy has worked well, as it allows users to choose the variant based on their requirements and budget.The smaller battery pack variant allows an affordable entry point. On the other hand, the larger battery pack variant is suitable for folks who have longer distances to cover between recharges.Tata Punch Electric SpiedJust like other Tata electric cars, Punch EV is also an ICE to EV conversion project. It will be based on the existing ALFA platform, featuring Tata’s Gen 2 EV architecture. However, it is a lot more than a mere retrofit project since some major modifications have been performed.Punch EV will have advanced tech such as a liquid-cooled battery pack. It will be equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor that sends power to the front wheels. The SUV will have improved braking power with all-wheel disc brakes.You don’t want to miss this! #UnveilingTomorrow#TATAev #MoveWithMeaning pic.twitter.com/o5hf61aB7u— TATA.ev (@Tataev) January 4, 2024Inside, Punch EV will have segment-first features such as ventilated front seats. While lower variants will have a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, higher variants will be equipped with a larger 10.25-inch unit. It is likely to be the same as that of the Nexon EV.Other features of Nexon EV such as the jewelled drive selector will also be available with Punch EV. Other key highlights include a digital instrument cluster, new two-spoke steering wheel with backlit Tata logo and an electronic parking brake.Punch EV exterior updatesWhile the overall look and feel is largely the same as the ICE counterpart, Punch EV will have some cosmetic touch-ups to highlight its electric persona. For example, Punch EV will have a blanked-out grille, new full-width LED element and new alloy wheels. Much of the styling will be similar to that of Nexon EV. In Tata’s lineup, Punch EV will be positioned in between the Tiago EV MR and Nexon EV MR. It could be launched in the price range of Rs 10 lakh to Rs 13 lakh. Punch ICE variant has been a spectacular success, something that will automatically benefit the EV model.Punch recently achieved the 3-lakh production milestone. This is significant, as it comes in a period of just around 26 months. Punch also enjoys a high level of consumer confidence, as the SUV has received 5-star rating in Global NCAP crash tests. The EV version will inherit all these strong USPs. More

      Safari EV And Harrier EV Spotted On Tow Truck – En Route ARAI Certification?

      by

      Safari EV and Harrier EV spotted on tow truckBoth the Safari EV and Harrier EV will feature a different fascia, packing around 60 kWh battery with single-motor FWD and dual-motor AWD configsRecently, Tata Motors inaugurated two EV-specific dealerships in Gurugram, Uttar Pradesh. Tata Motors is adding two new EVs to the lineup soon as seen with recent test mules – Safari EV and Harrier EV. These will be flagship offerings from Tata.ev, sitting above the recently launched Nexon EV (Nexon.ev).Safari EV And Harrier EV Spotted On Tow TruckNamed Tata.ev dealerships, these EV-specific showrooms and service centres aim to provide curated experience to EV buyers with eco-friendliness being the main mantra. The recent test mules were spotted on a tow truck Both these test mules were extensively draped in camouflage, conceiving their identity.These test mules on a tow truck were spotted in Pune city. Looking at them on a tow truck, we would say that both these test mules are headed for ARAI testing for range on a single charge. Tata Punch EV test mule spotted in May 2023, was on a tow truck too. The new Safari EV and Harrier EV spy shot is credited to automotive enthusiast Anvay Sheolikar.Interestingly, these test mules donned pre-facelift bodies and designs that were replaced with ICE models of facelifted Safari and Harrier. Production-spec Safari EV and Harrier EV will bear newer design that Tata Motors showcased at 2023 Auto Expo. The mechanicals (in this case, electricals) are what matters for ARAI testing and certification procedures.Tata Harrier Electric SUVJust like Nexon and Nexon EV, we expect both Harrier EV and Safari EV to get additional features and equipment over their ICE counterparts. Where design is concerned, we can expect minor revisions over their ICE counterparts in the form of a closed grill and revised bumpers to establish a different fascia.What to expect from Tata.ev’s new flagships?Just like the new Nexon EV, there is a good probability that Safari and Harrier’s EV counterparts will sport any blue elements. Both on the outside and inside. Tata Motors is currently leading the electric car scene in India with Tiago EV, Tiago EV and Nexon EV. That said, India’s electric car scene is expected to get brutal with new incoming EVs.Safari EV and Harrier will primarily rival Mahindra’s upcoming XUV.e8 (XUV700 electric). Hyundai could come up with an Alcazar EV based on upcoming Creta EV if there is enough demand. The Land Rover derived OMEGARC platform on Safari and Harrier will be modified to accommodate batteries for their EV counterparts.Tata Safari electric spied with new designFWD will be standard with optional dual-motor AWD variants. Tata might sell its flagship electric SUVs with around 60 kWh battery pack, promising a range of around 500 km on a single charge. We hope there is an 80 kWh battery pack option in the mix because Mahindra’s INGLO platform on XUV.e8 is expected to pack 80 kWh worth of cells in higher variants.Both Tata Safari EV and Harrier EV will be launched in 2024. Considering increasing test mule sightings, they could launch sooner rather than later. Price might start from around Rs. 25 lakh (ex-sh) going till Rs. 35 lakh (ex-sh).Source – Anvay Sheolikar More
