Compiled by Team PluginIndia
This is an ownership blog on the Tata Nexon EV electric car. This will give an idea for people who are interested to know how the car is performing in the real world.
Special thanks to Mr Samir Ponkshe from Miraj, MH state. He is a proud owner of Nexon EV electric car, who has offered to share details of his electric car as he uses it for the benefit of the EV community.

Tata Nexon EV : Delivery Day! | VLOG

June 06 2020 - Delivery Day!
Mr Samir got his delivery of the Tata Nexon EV on a Saturday morning. PluginIndia team comprising of Atul and Kamlesh visited Samir at the dealership to check out the car.
Mr Amit another owner of Nexon who got delivery in March, was also present.
Here are some photos from delivery day!

If you get the Nexon EV, ensure that you get the charging cable and the home charger box. Usually Tata Motors will install this at your home or workplace.
But as Samir lives in Miraj, he will get it done at his home on his own.
Also the charging cable to be used for home charging is better tested before heading out.

Test the home charge cable before heading out!

June 06 2020 - Pune to Miraj : 250 km long drive on first day!
Samir stays at Miraj but got delivery of his car in Pune. He had to drive all the way to Miraj some 250 km away. So he had to drive his Nexon EV home.
The issue is that Nexon EV is expected to give 200-210 km range at highway speeds. So Samir planned to drive the Nexon as much as he could and then tow it home.
He sent an image of his dashboard. At 16% SOC he drove 186 km with AC on and at highway speeds 65-75 kmph.
So from this we can assume that the Nexon EV will give you around 200 to 210 km on highway. And with more practise, Samir can do more.

June 08 2020 - Setting up Home Charging
Tata Motors is offering a simple Legrand wall mounted box for every Nexon EV customer.
The Legrand box seems to have an MCB, RCCB for protection. But there is no built in meter, so Samir installed his own meter box. Very nice work.

June 09 2020 - Understanding range calculation on full charge.
Samir also sent us some more photos of the range estimation by Nexon EV at 100% SOC (State of Charge). Consider this at 100% SOC it’s showing 168 km, which seems very low.
But then as he drives the estimation of range remaining increases to 217 km. Again this is different to our e2o.
And after a few days and some efficient drives, the range estimation on full charge now shows 250 km at 100% SOC.

We spoke to Tata Motors and they said that estimated range is calculated based on earlier driving patterns and loads on vehicles. If earlier driving patterns are very aggressive then it will show less and auto correct it when you start driving.

The range estimation seems intelligent the Mahindra e2o’s DTE (distance to empty) calculator.
The e2o’s DTE algorithm was pre programmed to start off with a certain value based on SOC minus the degradation value also calculated over every 100 charge cycles and show an estimated DTE and then try and correct it as the car runs.
The Nexon seems to have an advanced algorithm and it seems to factor in previous drives and makes adjustments dynamically. Very interesting.

100% SOC : 168km Range

As Samir drove the Nexon EV, the range estimation adjusted itself.

As the previous drive was efficient, the range of 250 km was shown on 3rd day

June 11, 2020 - Battery drain to < 10% SOC
Samir did a lot of driving today. The drive included city some outside city(about 30 km) with speeds up to 80kph. Full time AC and radio on. About 10 km driven by friend for trial.
Went upto 7% SOC and found that the AC compressor switches off at 10% speed limited to 50 kmph.

Also at 10% you get a message. Charging System. Battery Low! Need to charge!
One interesting observation is that below 10%, the car does not show range remaining. It just says "RECHARGE"!

Battery Low message

No DTE! Just "RECHARGE"

Charging from 7%

Meter reading as charging starts.

June 12 2020 - Checking status after full charge
Next morning the Nexon is fully charged. It was at 7% SOC last night and meter reading was 51 kWh and now at 100%, the meter reading is 78 kWh.
So the Nexon EV consumed 27 units to charge from 7% to 100%.
Also we observed the massive rubber gasket for water proofing the charge box.
Pleasantly surprised to see the charger rated at IP67, so u can charge in rain without issues.

June 13 2020 - Driving to a hill top
We drove to hill top this morning - Dandoba Hills, which is near Miraj. A fun drive and steep ghats are not a problem. Very easy and comfortable to drive an electric car.
Also the quietness of the electric drivetrain in such quiet natural places show how much fun it is to drive an electric car.

June 22, 2020 - Exploring the Nexon EV mobile app
Here are screenshots of the Nexon EV mobile app. Samir thought he would share some functionalities of the mobile app.
There are couple of features which are interesting.

Drive statistics and ride score. We would have preferred to see the efficiency in wh/km too in this screen.
The diagnostics of the car is pretty cool. Battery status is nice to see.
Geofencing is another interesting feature
We can also see charge points around your location.

June 24, 2020 : Green Number Plate
Samir got his green number plate on his Nexon EV. Green number plates showcases that the vehicle is an electric. There are no benefits now, but the government might make tolls free.
Then we will start seeing value.
The Nexon EV looks great with the green plate!

July 28, 2020 : Tata Nexon EV Smart Watch!
Samir got his smart watch/band from Tata which helps in keyless authentication.
Just wear the watch, approach your Nexon EV and tap on the button near the handle and when authenticated, the door opens.
Samir has tested without the watch and the door does not open!
Also the watch came pre activated. Samir had to do no setup steps!
Its a nice little accessory that will get the tech crowd enthusiastic.

October 27, 2020 - Journey from Miraj to Pune without charging!
Today i did a non stop drive from Miraj to Pune without charging. And i could just make it to the Aundh, Pune DC Fast charger with 2% remaining!
The drive was without AC and i have also shared the trip data. The DC Fast charging session at Aundh took 1 hour 15 mins.

October 27th, 2020 - Software Update for Tata Nexon EV

Today the Tata Motors dealer in Pune called us for a software update on the Tata Nexon EV. This software update improves the range and efficiency of the Tata Nexon EV.
Many owners were getting 160-180 km per charge. After this update many are getting 240-250 km per charge. I had no such range issues, but i was happy to be on the latest software update.

The following software modules were updated

The VCU update
ECU update
Update for HVAC (Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning). This has played a major part in increasing the range.
BMS software update

October 28th, 2020 - Trip to Lonavala after Software Update
So this was a fun drive from Pune to Lonavala. I did a total of 153 km and 35% SOC was remaining as you can see in below images.
The Nexon EV is fun to drive and you enjoy driving in scenic locations like Lonavala.

October 28th, 2020 - Pune to Miraj : Another 250+ km drive!

I stayed in the Ramee Grand hotel when i was in Pune. The Hotel management gave me free charging for 2 days.
Once the software was updated and i was happy with my test ride to Lonavala, i decided to head back to Miraj this time without charging!
In this trip 95% of time time AC was used. So without AC, we should be able to go 280 km.

All in all i'm extremely happy with the softweare update. The car seems more efficient and also the SOC and DTE algorithms are more accurate.
Owning a software driven Nexon EV is a joy and i'm enjoying it 200%!

Here is the data for those who are interested.
Captions are provided for each image.

March 30th, 2021 - Tata Nexon EV completes 25000 km!
So our Tata Nexon EV completes 25,000 km. All this driving is without using single drop of oil or causing any local pollution.
Having a 10 kW solar setup makes this virtually free to use :)

Final Words
Once again we thank Samir for sharing his experience with the EV community. If you have any questions for Samir, do comment below.
The Nexon EV ownership blog will be updated every time Samir finds interesting things!
So stay tuned!

9/6/2021 11:35:54 am

Can the AC be used while nexon gets fast charged

Amit Ganpule

13/9/2022 12:21:22 pm

Hi, Soorej,
Yes we can sit in the comfort of AC while charging.
Once the charging has started press the start stop button without pressing the brake pedal. The ACC mode will activate. Now you can switch on the AC and relax while the batteries are charging.
You can also try it out at first.

I'm planning no buy one.
How much range do I get on highway if I drive at fixed 60 kmph. And use regen as much as possible?
How much rage will I get?
I'm from gujarat

PluginIndia

18/6/2020 02:52:38 pm

You should get 200 km on highway. Do note your range will increase in city driving as you will lot of opportunity to use Regen in city. Also decreased aerodynamic and rolling losses are a factor in city.
In the highway there is less scope of using Regen as you are constantly draining power. So u will get less range on highways at normal driving speeds.
Ofocurse this is on flat terrains like Delhi/NCR. In hilly terrains like Pune - Mumbai highway the numbers are different.

Aditya Bhatnagar

28/7/2022 11:31:20 am

You’ll easily get around 220Kms

Mr. Samir , What is maximum range you got so far. When you start using EV on daily basis what is average range you got ? For 7% to 100% charging how much time it took ?

Samir Vikram Ponkshe

18/6/2020 11:43:30 am

Max range I got so far is 220. From 7% to 100 % it took 9 hours + and 27 units of electricity for charging

shrushant sant

18/6/2020 01:12:29 pm

Hi..
I bought Nexon ev last wk. Nice car ..u can feel the weight and safety while u driving. Quick overtakes..ac is more than enough. I set 27 degree,still pretty cold.
But range is not much as expected..aprox 200 even after very careful driving with light foot ..no rapid acceleration..I think 312 is bit a hype..my salesman told others getting 260+. But I don't believe..I got only 200 max with no passengers with decent driving I can have..

So expect 200 km maximum range if u r planning to purachase this car

Amit Ganpule

12/9/2022 02:58:32 pm

I my experience is that once the battery goes below 25% it shows discharge at a disproportionate rate.
I have been driving my Nexon Ev on Highways and City.
At many places which are barely 160 KM and reached with less than 10% battery. I am a careful driver and do not push the peddle hard. My driving speed is below 90 on straight stretches. The driving is always with AC.
I am skeptical about the range. It is only for a drive upto 160 KM. After that you are at the mercy of God.

22/6/2020 03:49:08 pm

How is the car performance below 20% SOC. I guess we will get the clear picture only after 1 year.

Samir Ponkshe

23/6/2020 03:20:20 pm

Below 25% the sports mode does not come on. Below 10% the AC compressor is off and the performance is limited to 50kph. The DTE stops showing below 20km

Vishnu Anil

24/6/2020 05:50:10 pm

I started driving since December 2019 and I'm looking to purchase a new vehicle. Can I directly go for a nexon EV or is it advisable to drive an ICE vehicle before shifting to EV. The other question I have is if we maintain the speed between 80KMPH and 100KMPH then what could be the range of Nexon EV

Jeslin k Ali

24/6/2020 05:59:30 pm

Maximum 200km. .even if ur best drive with AC on

Vishnu Anil

24/6/2020 07:31:15 pm

Thanks for the quick reply. Will that range decrease if we have 4 additional passengers other than the driver and boot is filled with luggage.

Vishang

27/9/2020 02:28:38 pm

Max. Milage in city driving is 145 up to 7% pending as per my use and 8 charging cycle experience

Chiplunkar G K

26/6/2020 05:26:21 pm

Whether it will be possible to drive this car from Mumbai to Pune with 5 people and full AC on, without charging in between ?

Also can it be driven from Chiplun to Pune with 5 people and full AC on.

The real question here is range you get going up 700 meters which is a case in Western Maharashtra.

Can somebody share their experience....

Jeslin k Ali

27/7/2020 10:31:17 pm

Distance?

NIKHIL MADHUKAR SAMRE

11/9/2020 08:31:00 pm

Mumbai to Pune is just under 200km so if you drive within limits then you can reach on single charge.
Chiplun to Pune might be challenge for single charge. You'll require a pitstop in between.

Amit Ganpule

12/9/2022 03:00:24 pm

From my experience do not drive anywhere where there is no charging point within 130 to 150 Km.

Taken the delivery of Becoming EV on 24-07-20. SOC 100%, Distance To Empty is 241 kms. Drove the vehicle at a speed of 40 to 50 for 198 km s from Hyderabad showroom to Karimnagar 67% charge consumed and still 33% charge is remaining and DTE is 89 kms, thus giving a range of approx 287. Which is more than 241, extended range is 46 kms. As such it was night, and for the first time driving an electric suv, I felt it would be safer for me at this speed. I have got the experience of driving TATA ZEST AMT. very happy to own this EV, thanks to Samir ji, pluginindia, by having read the comments, got confidence. More proudly can say, BE INDIAN, BUY INDIAN.

Vivek Ahuja

27/7/2020 11:17:36 am

WOW! good to know this! realyl good experience, i have never got 100% SOC with DTE of higher than 230! so its really good to see this!

Jeslin k Ali

27/7/2020 06:16:19 pm

Hi Vivek..
DTE may vary depending upon ur drive..don't trust on the meter reading..check the odometer reading after 100 charge and see the distance till empty..I am getting 200 aprox

Jeslin k Ali

27/7/2020 06:28:01 pm

With AC it's unbelievable..plz recheck

Vivek Ahuja

28/7/2020 06:59:12 am

Vivek Ahuja

2/8/2020 08:10:35 pm

yes thats what i do, i use trip meter for 100% to next chage...i have been getting 168 with 75% usage...and sometimes 80% gives me 190....so i think its a good one!

I heard that few nexon ev users are facing a problem
While driving suddenly vehicle shifted to neutral mode n unable to start the vehicle again, is same problem u faced till now???

Iam also from karimnagar n interested to buy nexon ev, i i need ur feedback brother
Thank you

Sufiyan

1/8/2020 03:07:31 pm

Hey Jealin & Vivek both of your comments are quite interesting about the range being achieved by you two which are quite contradictory. It'll be great if you guys share your driving pattern, city vs highway drives and also what you believe is your personal driving style, too harsh on the pedal or are you nimble footed.

I'm almost sold on the idea of Nexon EV, having sold my Nexon XZA+ Petrol last month I'm keen to know more from current owners before i book mine 😊

Jeslin k Ali

2/8/2020 08:49:47 am

I drive 60km per day ..50-60kmph..no Harsh breaking or quick acceleration and o use maximum regeneration possible..at 100% it shows 250km range..but it's just gimmick..battry reading falls by 1unit for every 1.5km on ac..and for 2km without ac..so practically u will get 200 km on May go upto 230 without ac on..not sure..

Talha Qazi

10/12/2020 12:29:09 pm

I believe your lower range is due to stop start traffic which you might be experiencing (assumption on my end). I've driven the Nexon EV and while driving in stop start traffic, the range kept falling quickly. Also, the ambient temperature and other factors do play a role. The colder it is, the lesser will be the range.

Vivek Ahuja

2/8/2020 08:06:23 pm

Hi! i wrote some tips on my blog...driving electric is not like driving a ICE car! dont accelarate too often and break too often, similar tips which we should follow on a ICE engine to get max milage! not a huge difference! anticipate your stoppages, slow down and use regen to help you!

Amit Ganpule

12/9/2022 03:06:21 pm

At present EV is a option only as a second car. Unless you don't travel beyond 70-80 Km. Also for longer distances we have to add 1hr 30 min for every charge.
Also nobody is talking about the insurance cost. It is Rs 80000 per year.
I personally feel that if you travel 3-4 k Km a month then it is a wise decision.

Ramesh S

7/8/2020 12:09:12 pm

Hi, I took delivery on 5th of Aug 2020 from Prerana motors, Bengaluru. I yet to drive in the city, since so for I am used to drive small (Santro) and and has to familiarize with compact SUV without gears. Yesterday night charged battery 100%, in dashboard it increased range from 172km to 250 km, consumed 6.1 kwh(units). But as per Nexon EV Brochure driving range should be with 100% is 312(as per MIDC cycle). I personally feel there should not be so much difference between what we get driving range and brochure claim. Still running cost per km drive might coming less Rs.1.0 as per my calculation. Major drawback in electric cars is there is no charging stations on highways as of now, still then we have constrained drive only cities. Major electric car dealers like Tata's should put pressure on concerned government bodies to install charging stations at major highways. It boost buyer to go for electric cars, saves environment by reducing pollution and will reduce government's exchequer on petrol/diesel import. I will share my experience in later days once I start using regularly.
Congrats to all electric car owner and happy drive.

Vivek Ahuja

7/8/2020 01:11:08 pm

Congratulations! welcome to NEXON EV owners! yes if you switch off a c and do a test under "ideal" conditions it will give you much higher range, but realworld practical is 250 approx. i know TATA power is putting up chargers accross the country and in highways, and some already put up earlier like Haryanaa tourism has done a few years ago...
Happy driving!

Amit Ganpule

12/9/2022 03:09:49 pm

Hi Vivek, I agree with your tips, which I do follow. However to expect driving it out AC is not really a option unless you are conserving battery to reach the charging point.

8/8/2020 06:51:30 pm

Ramesh the 312 km is under standard , very unrealistic midc testing conditions.
You will get around 200 to 225 km in normal driving conditions, as per several owners reviews.
Dont run too much in sports mode.
And give us your driving experiences.

Vikas K

21/11/2020 10:04:33 am

As per my understanding the range is shown as per the power being consumed and earlier riding behavior of the driver. 312 km is based on very very ideal conditions such as no AC, infotainment etc. on a limited speed (maybe with breaking) in Drive mode and not sports mode

I m planing to buy Tata nexon ev. I m from Shimla. In my area roads are suitable to drive in 50 or 60km/h . Can i get a range of 230 km to 250 km . ..
I have one more question... As Tata altroz ev is comming with same 30 KWh battery pack and altroz ev will be lighter than nexon ev . Will altroz ev give more range than nexon ev

21/8/2020 02:55:09 pm

Driving in the hills only .. is a really good idea .. Nexon being a better muscle car in comparison to Altroz .. so I think Nexon EV is a better choice for you ..

230 - 250 .. does not look like a problems as hills ya
gonna brake very often .. and the more ya apply brake .. or the auto brake it has .. the more regeneration comes to work .. hence more average ..

All of the above comes with experience of driving vehicles almost last 30 years .. but my driving an EV experience is at present not more than 400-500kms .. but surely done a lot of research .. and still continuing to do so ..

Amit Ganpule

12/9/2022 03:12:55 pm

It should give more range theoretically. We also want to know more about mountain driving and range.
I expect the range will reduce while climbing and increase while descending with regen braking. You might be able to have a negative consumption while descending.

This question may sound absurd but I want to know is it advisable to go for an EV vehicle for a first time 4-wheeler driver/owner?

Why not? you start saving cabon from the day you start driving an EV!

Amit Ganpule

13/9/2022 12:34:48 pm

It may be a good idea if you are not frequently travelling above 170 Km. Also with the Max the range may extend to 250 Km. Also if you have to travel say from Mumbai to Pune and back in a day, it will cause delay due to charging.
Be prepared to add 60 to 90 Min charging time per trip above 200Km.
Otherwise if your travel is within this range it is a excellent option.
Please check the insurance cost it is 80,000 per annum. Hence overall it pays off if your running is above 20000 km a year.

Hi
Congratulations to every owner!

I must congratulate Team PlugInIndia for good initiative
I have been following you on Youtube may be from year

Also Thanks to Mr. Samir for detailed information

I am planning for Nexon EV , Your inputs will help me in buying decision.

*Important*: my daily consumption is not so big, but still I want to go for EV , updating to my 11year old Hundai I10 )

But below stops me -

First, I stay at Mumbai - street parking my current vehicle
And Often visit to my hometown in kokan- Chiplun 250 Kms+ drive , where No parking issue but not a good idea to install home charging unit there , also no charging station in nearby region

Just to think of solution for now- I have to manage charging mostly rather only through stations for may be period of 3+ years.

Would it be practical ? (Knowing slow cycle is necessary to keep batteries in good state)
How Often ? 1 slow in every 10 cycle
Any chance that charging station will remain shut?

Could you please let me know if above possibly a way, or anything other

Thanks much in advance..

Regards
Chaitanya Sathe

You can install AC charger (relatively faster than charger available in car) which can charge your Nexon with in 8-9 hours (0 to 100% ) at your home or at your home town. It will be priced at approximately 65K. For more details you can contact on 9820258979.

Any owner who faces the same problem ..pls check that if the earth pit used for ur solar and eb is working properly ...if not pls pour water in the earth pit for proper conductivity ..

Aren't there any problems with EV. I saw Vlogs where the car stalls and doesn't let the user to change the gear knob to drive mode. It automatically switches to neutral.

Thanks.

Vivek Ahuja

12/9/2020 08:29:02 am

we wont get to know till we drive to over 15K km's those who have have got very neglible bills for service,....its not even comparable to ICE cars! so dont worry.

battery cost, yes will be a big amount, but looking at trends battery technology improvements, tata plans to start manufacturing in india the cost shouldnt be high at end of 8 years, also it would for sure be much much cheaper than 8 years of petrol costs!

I just booked my ev last night and after going through the conversation at this blog feel good that I have taken a correct decision.
I am just waiting for the Delhi government decision on subsidy on the lux model will be continue or not, as my first choice is the top end model.

Regards to all

Vivek Ahuja

14/9/2020 09:18:59 am

Dear Yogesh,

on LUX most likely its above 15L so no subsidy this is what i have heard from Tata team members. but trust me once you start using if you have a 60 km approx daily run you will save more on feul quickly and start recovering your costs!!! so dont wait for the subsidy. road tax you will definately benifit which i had to pay :-(

Rajesh Gupta

Great Post and Information,
I am also planning for nexon EV XZ+ from Mumbai,
But i frequently travel to 170 km to Gujarat Vapi Daily.

Can I Install Fast Charger To my Factory Premises, if Yes will Tata Power will help me to give Service at Vapi, Gujarat ?

Earlier was using WegonR CNG but nexon Seems Very Safe and superb Car to me.

What interest Subsidy benefit i get ?

Vivek Ahuja

6/10/2020 10:33:00 am

you can ask the dealer, he will connect you to TATA Power team, maybe they have a FC coming up on your route? in factory if you plan to stay for 7+ hours it would be better to setup a slow charger, long term its good to charge with slow charger. if you go to the factory site for just 2-3 hours then fast charger makes sense, maybe TATA power or any other company can give you a billing system and you can give public access to your fast charger as you would use only 1-2 hours daily, and rest 22 hours it can be used by others on that highway?

Asheesh

6/10/2020 02:48:20 am

Buy a used one. You would get better benefits then subsidy and anyway subsidy thing was just probably for the first 1000 vehicles according to fame 2 .. so many owners wanting to sell the car

I purchased my Nexon EV on this 30th of September.
This post is not meant for discouraging anyone, but I have issue with this car from day of purchase.
The DTE (distance to empty ) was always showing 312 km even after 35% battery was down. Later it started coming down still not proportional.
Last week when car was started in the morning dashboard was showing FAULT and every alert was on red and even speedometer was not functional. As instructed I drove to service centre and they rectified in 10 minutes after plugging with a laptop. Same issue is now repeated and I was seeking a permanent fix for this. Meanwhile this morning while driving one EY critical alert came up and it came to limp mode. After stoping by road, I tried to restart , but the gear remains in neutral only.
Now waiting for service centre to pickup.
Did anyone else had similar issues and managed to fix it permanently? Please respond

Vishal Bhowmik

2/11/2020 09:49:59 pm

I purchased nexon EV today only. My home is circa 25 km from dealers. And i also noticed that DTE was constant 312KM even when i reached my home, however battery charge dropped by 20%. I am thinking that this because in order to update DTE some driving history is needed but on looking your post start me thinking otherwise. Are you still facing same issue or is it rectified.

Vishal Bhowmik

7/12/2020 01:00:32 pm

An update on above issue. Recently I was called for software update of the car and after the update now I am getting DTE as per charge available and last driving performance. However, my range was also quite low, got in range of 120-150km in full charge to which workshop advisor has raised this will also improve after the update. So fingers crossed.

Hi Samir,
I m from pune, planning to buy nexon ev. I will use it daily in pune and in week end will drive it to Pandharpur(220 km). Does this car will give 200+ range?
Yesterday I have visited Tata showroom Baner, the sales person told me it gives 150 range only.
Does MH gov give any subsidy on nexon ev xz+?
If possible pls share ur no

Is it possible to set up a DC fast charging station at home?

PluginIndia

27/10/2020 10:46:01 am

You will need a 3 Phase connection. Nowdays we have seen some apartments have 3 Phase connections, but that is rare.

That said, We always recommend to slow Charge and use Fast charge in emergencies

Siddarth

27/10/2020 11:02:48 am

Hi all, Thank you for your views, reviews and suggestions. And congratulations to every owner. I booked one last week probably will take delivery soon.
I would want to know If the car is standing under direct sunlight say 11a.m. to 4p.m. is there possibility that the car might start discharging?. Specially in the coastal belts because of high moisture present.
Awaiting your reply.

Thank you in advance.

PluginIndia

27/10/2020 10:10:27 pm

We asked your Q to Tata Motors and they told us that The battery has thermal insulation which does not allow temperature increase of cell - hence no issues. Humidity does not play role as pack is fully sealed system.
Regarding SOC drop - not much impact - may be 1% SOC drop

Vivek Ahuja

28/10/2020 08:49:33 am

Hello Siddarth, one of our nexon EV owners had his car stand for 30 days and no SOC drop at all! the battery is IP67 rates and external moisutre etc. would not make a difference to SOC. Like Plugin team mentioned above; TML also confirmed no impact since its insulated thermally. yes if the temp is VERY HIGH above 45 or so, the cooling system may use some power to cool the batteries.

Hi I had contact With Tata Power, he is providing AC Charging unit, Type 2 (7 KW) the price they are offering is about 80,000 Rs. according to their specification it is always better to use AC Charger and this AC Type 2 Which is of 7kw will charge Nexon Ev in 3 to 4 Hr.
Also it will be good compare to DC Fast Charger.
Is it true, if any one have install please give us suggestion with this regards.
Thank you...

27/10/2020 10:01:06 pm

Hi Nitesh

Your Nexon EV's onboard charger only supports upto 3kW charging.
Dont waste money on any 7.2 kW wall mounts.

Even if you use them, your Nexon EV wont charge.

Vivek Ahuja

28/10/2020 08:52:43 am

Hello Nitesh, you have been guided wrongly. 7.4KW is only for MG ZS and that works with 7.4KW charger. NExonEV will not work !! the hardware doesn't support 7KW a/c charging. as per recommendations from TML we use only slow charging as much as possible and fast only in case of emergencies or occasionally when you want to cover more than 200 kms in a day! use the charger which comes with your Nexon with 3.3 KW load for the car, although it will use mostly 2.8 KW

Nitesh Mehta

30/10/2020 12:32:14 pm

Thank you Team plugindia and Mr Vivek.

So it is better to install normal 15 Amp Socket with MCCB .
And charging time for the same will be 8 to 10 hr, Correct ?

Hardik Kotecha

31/10/2020 12:29:47 pm

Is there an Apple Watch app that can be used to unlock the car? That will be really cool to no depend upon Tata’s smart watch for that functionality

15/11/2020 12:53:47 am

Hello everyone. Got my car teal blue color 2 weeks ago. Excited in the beginning i tried to drive slow not being too harsh with accelerator and break. However was unable to note the exact range we get as me and my brother use the car.
With full of excitement, i downloaded the app 4 days later from the date of delivery and registered my vehicle, and later got to know that the KYC has to be done to use the app. Been 1 week that my KYC is done and post that i started to notice i do not get good range compared to how much i use to get at the start. I get 180-210kms (even after KYC update), and i am still not able to use the app connected features.
Spoke to the sales rep several times after delivery and during the time KYC was getting updated however no positive or satisfying response.

I left 2 emails to the customer care regarding the connectivity issues however no reply since 3days.

And the service response to did not come to expectation as for the issues or doubts i had no one replied to me regarding it. Neither the service rep nor the service manager.
My brother is already frustrated to have invested a money on this and yet no number plate, no connectivity access and reduced range.
Going to talk to them on Monday or Tuesday regarding these.

Will update on their response.

Siddarth

25/12/2020 07:25:38 pm

Hi.
Keeping my vehicle idle for a month at the service centre for some exterior damage repairs.
I take the vehicle for a spin since 3 days yesterday after full charge it showed only 243 kms range which is was too less compared to my previous range that i used to get. Driving with same style 40-60kph in city and max 80kmph on highways with ac on 80% of the time. With the same driving style i used to get more than 250kms a month back.
And i heard from many that the range has increased from latest update which i too got it done.
Can anyone please share which version is the latest software?.

Thank you.

Tata Motors had enough time for setting up the charging stations in collaboration with Tata Power from the month of June 2020
It is a peak time every Nexon Owners wants to go on a outing for the vacation after the 6 - 7 months of pandemic house arrest.
Most popular destination being Goa & best route NH44 Bangalore - Pune Expressway.
They could have managed at least 5 - 6 stations on this route as it would make the trip easier with a halt for Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner & our 1 hour can be compensated with this making it easier to maintain the same time as we did in our combustion engine vehicles.
Now that there being no such facility we have to request (Beggingis more appropriate) to Hotel Owners to give electrical supply for few hours & spend for the room charges unnecessary at every 195 - 200 kms which means we have to stop 3 nights forcefully restricted curb our enthusiasm as we planned for a week's stay but our traveling is of a week now - what about the money spent on food & stay?

Rs 12,000 is already lost
Risk wether you can get a hotel at every 200kms that allows charging your Nexon
Then buy your extra long heavy duty cable extension cord 50 feet long - who knows how long is the point from the nearest parking lot wether it is safe of Fluctuations & Earthing is provided.
I'm very much annoyed with Tatas Unpreparedness & where are in the Mumbai City DC Rapid Charging - in Vikroli ha ha ha who will go to Vikroli for Charging from the Mumbai City

Aayush Arya

20/1/2021 11:17:34 pm

I do not understand your criticism. It is clear from all reviews that this vehicle has a range of under 200 kilometres, that it takes 8-10 hours to charge, and that it does not currently have a fast charging network.

How could you possibly have expected it to do a journey of over 1,100 kilometres given these realities? I think the blame in this case lies squarely upon you.

Milind Baravkar

12/3/2021 03:45:09 pm

I think, as on date (March 2021), i could see at least 4 fast charging station till we reach Kolhapur .Should not be an issue to reach Goa

Hello Samir,

Congratulations.

I think i saw your Nexon EV on Miraj-Pandharpur road near Dmart around 2-3 weeks before. I stay near Dmart only.

I have couple of questions.
1. Did you get any government subsidy for purchasing this ev?
2. Is there any tax exemption if loan is availed?
3. Do we have any charging station on Sangli-Pune road?

Thanks
Ravindra

Today i took delivery of nexon ev xz +.
And i feel awesome superb with its presence on road. My journey was excellent from borivali to godbandar road and till vapi including heavy Traffic and clear highway.
With odo meter maintaining speed of 70 -80 on highway.
Status of battery at Starting point was at 95%
And after 155 km including all climent 22% is still charged.

Only negative par is its stearing which is quite hard and no cruize control.
Rest all seriously paisa wasool as i can see lot of environmental safty as well as saving of money too.

I wish TATA Motors will be aggressive on installing charging station pan india basis.

Hello Mr. Samir, Great Blog.
Many fence sitters can refer to your first hand experience to get hands on Nexon EV.
Hope we can catch up in Miraj sometime.

The only thing which is holding me from booking Nexon EV is range anxiety & too intrusive Regen.

My travel is same as yours. Every 15 days, Pune to Sangli and back.

For Range -
Because I travel a lot on this section, I need the car have speed between 80-100 otherwise this road becomes too boring. Referring to your driving pattern, for sure i'll not be able to reach destination without a charge top up in between.

Following information I received from sales guys as of 06/12/2020. I am not sure if these are actual claims or sales pitch.
1. TATA Power is in final stage to start charging station at Khed Shivapur, Satara, Karad & Kolhapur i.e. Along NH4/NH48.
2. They claimed that within 2 months we will see charging stations up and running.
3. As of today, I can still stop by TATA showroom in Satara for top up charge but no fast charging available yet.

For Regen -
It is really annoying for me in current state. Regen kicks in way more than I expected. Speed gets reduced drastically without any intimation to vehicles behind me. Not sure why TATA decided to skip manual control for Regen levels or at least Regen off switch should have been provided.
To make matter worse, there is no cruise control. If I want to keep my vehicle moving at desired speed, I had to keep accelerator pedal pressed all the time no matter what. Unlike in IC car where I can coast based on road conditions.
Feels like I am giving much needed rest to left leg but at the same time, right leg is over-worked.
I have provided this feedback to sales guys and someone on call from Pimpri factory. Hopefully TATA can fix this by software update.

Thanks!

10/12/2020 12:54:47 pm

Khed Shivapur Satara Tata Power DC charging stations is a great news. I have just a cancelled my travel to Goa on 11.12.2020
It becomes too much of days just traveling & slow charging
May your words come true & I can travel in January 2021 hopefully

My next concern was of availing the Subsidy
At Mumbai opposite to Mantralaya is the Directorate of Industries
There are few forms to be filled & delivered here for the subsidy
Battery Type, Number, Make & Charger number details are to be filled which I am unable to locate.
Called the Dealer for the details & he said leave it blank
Only worry is the work progress shouldn’t stall only because of it.
So if anyone can help please let me know
Thanks

Hi, i am having Nexon Ev and had run for 15 days, So far only one thing is the worry part for the ev is that its charging stations.

As my daily route is from Borivali(Mumbai) to Vapi(Gujarat).
I am not able to fine Charging station in middle of this 2 locations, this is the only thing which is killing me.
I think this is also one of the busiest route and should have Fast Charging station on Highway.
SO far i had a word with dealership of vapi and they have said that in next 6 month TATA is planning to install Fast Charging station to all Dealerships across India.

But i have no confidence in dealership employees.

Does anyone having idea about the same ?

Hi, I faced a problem with my nexon-ev today. I tried to fast charge; however within 11 sec of charging, i got msg saying charging completed. The vehicle actually did not charge (obvious). Has anyone faced this issue?

Vehicle was at 38% when this activity was being done. Its was locked, with park brakes engaged and bonnet closed.

Happy to be a Nexon EV owner for almost a month now.
Like other users I am impressed by its performance in comparison to my Nexon diesel version.
The range I get is around 200km per charge and am not in a position to travel long distances due to inadequacy of charging facility.
We can overcome this problem to some extent if we are able to share our home/office charging facility with other owners.
Whether one wishes to fix a charge for the electricity used is entirely personal.
The EV owners whether Nexon or other, please share your opinion.

Thanks and regards,

Amit

While I am not an electrical engineer, I can try to answer this from a basic Physics point of view. First of all for a current to flow from a charging source, be it a battery or a solar panel or grid power, it need to be at a higher voltage than the charged battery. Given the limited exposed space on a car you will find it hard to rig up enough solar panels to provide a sufficiently high enough voltage. for the battery pack to charge. Even if you do manage to achieve this through some combination design of inverters, step up transformers and rectifiers, the charging rate you will practically achieve will be negligible to be of any real use. You will also have to deal with preventing back flow of the charge from the battery to the panel at times when it is not exposed to sufficient light in which case the panel will function like a LED. Bottom line is solar charging suing panels on the car is not workable. You can instead install the panels at you home and use them to charge the car.. A lot of Nexon users are practically driving the car free of any cost by doing this.

Getting an additional Legrand wall mounted box for Nexon EV should be affordable one.
The Legrand box is just having a MCB, RCCB for protection and setting a cost of ₹18K+ is too high. Not happy on this part. Wanted to install it at my other house and could be a case with most of the customer favoring the 15A charging.

Brought one a few days back. The car is really good, but disappointed by the fact that inspite of paying nearly 17lacs for the vehicle, no extra smart key is provided, no tool tray, had to pay extra even for the floor mats and boot mat. The tools are just tired in a bag, we get these things in a much cheaper car too.

Took delivery of Tata Nexon EV Dark Edition on September 17, 2021. Impressed with the vehicle prima-facie.

This morning after a full charge, showed 168 KM as the range, which really shocked me. Then, my son directed me to this blog site of Plug Undia. After reading through various experiences I am relieved that my driving conditions is going to influence the range. I will be closely monitoring the datafrom now on. I am yet to embark on a full drive.
Looking forward for a great experience with Tata Nexon EV.
