“As the pioneers of EVs in the country, the onus of ensuring successful adoption was on us. With a well-calibrated product mix and strong consumer-facing initiatives, we have been able to address barriers to EV adoption. We created an entire EV ecosystem with Tata Group companies to provide simple, cost-effective solutions for our customers,” said Shailesh Chandra, managing director, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles and Tata Passenger Electric Mobility.
“Celebrating 50,000 EVs in India is a strong testament to how our portfolio is resonating with people across the country. EVs are offering a practical solution to the problems of rising fuel prices and worsening pollution. Customers are now ready to welcome EVs and we are thrilled to witness the transition from early adopters to now EVs becoming a mainstream choice for Indian customers,” he added.
Tata Motors launched the new Tiago EV in September. The company garnered over 10,000 bookings on October 10 alone for the new electric model, following which the introductory price of the vehicle was extended for another 10,000 customers.
The Tiago EV has two battery pack options — 19.2kWh and 24kWh. As per the Modified Indian Driving Cycle (MIDC), the new electric model has an estimated range of 250km with the 19.2kWh battery and a certified range of 315km with the more powerful 24kWh battery.
