The Tata Altroz EV is the first of the next
generation EVs from the homegrown automaker. It is likely to cost over INR 10 lakh.
With the Tata Tigor EV itself costing INR 11.2 lakh
(inclusive of GST), that too for a government body (EESL), it was expected that
the much more advanced Tata Altroz EV will not come cheap. An INR 10-lakh+
(ex-showroom) price was expected. Now, Shailesh Chandra, President - Electric
Mobility Business & Corporate Strategy, Tata Motors, has suggested that the
newly introduced EV will indeed cost above INR 10 lakh (ex-showroom).
The Tata Altroz EV measures 3,988 mm in length,
1,754 mm in width and 1,505 mm in height. It has a 2,501 mm wheelbase. Its
battery pack can be charged from 0-80% in 1 hour, and on a full charge, it is
expected to give a range of 250-300 km. The Tata Tigor EV’s battery pack, on
the other hand, takes 6 hours (using a normal charger)/1.5 hours (using a fast
charger) for a 0-80% charge and offers a range (MIDC cycle) of 130 km.
