Here is a 0-100 kmph acceleration test of the new Tata Tigor EV. Tata is leaving no stone unturned to cement its 3rd spot on the list of the largest carmakers in the country. Tata is consistently selling high volumes month after month for quite some time now. It is clipping at the heels of Hyundai in our market. Tata has also shown a key interest in the EV segment. The Nexon EV is already the most popular EV in the country by a mile. It has more than 60% market share all alone with the MG ZE EV a distant second. But outside these two products, there are no high-volume products in the market. Tata aims to change that by introducing the Tigor EV for personal use. It already has the commercial version of the Tigor EV based on the old technology. The Tigor EV for personal use comes with the latest Ziptron technology also found on the Nexon EV. Here are the details of the acceleration test performed on the new Tata Tigor EV.

Tigor EV Acceleration Test
The Tigor EV features a slightly low-range version of the Ziptron technology of the Nexon EV. It has a battery pack of 26 kWh with 350V Ziptron technology which is good for 75 hp and 170 Nm of peak power and torque. The standard 15A wall socket can charge the EV from 0-80% in about 8 hours while the DC fast charger can do it in 65 mins. The ARAI claimed range is around 306 km under ideal conditions. But one can expect a real-life range of somewhere around the 200-km mark. This is not an exquisite number but is more than enough for daily use. Also, the technology reduces the power output once it senses the battery status below 25%. In the acceleration test of the Tigor EV, the 0-80 kmph was reached in 9.25 secs while 0-100 kmph was completed in 13.16 secs which is not bad considering the power on offer.

But to squeeze out the maximum performance from the Tigor EV, it is recommended to be driven gently. With no AC and gentle throttle inputs, one might even get close to that 250-300 km range that Tata claims as the official figures. The adoption of EVs is receiving massive push from the Government by some really attractive subsidy scemes. The technology is slowly becoming less expensive and as the volumes start going up, it will even became much more affordable. Simultaneously, the charging infrastructure in India has also been developing rapidly. This will help minimize the range-anxiety that the potential EV buyers suffer from. Once that haapnes, the adoption of the EVs in our market will see a huge jump. The Tata Tigor EV ranges between Rs 11.99 lakh to Rs 13.14 lakh, ex-showroom.
