Tata Motors updates the claimed drive range of its EVs, Curvv EV, Nexon EV, Punch EV, Tiago EV

Updated range of Tata EVs: Tata Motors has updated the MIDC range of its electric lineup in India. This comes into effect after the Ministry of Road and Transport Highways introduced some changes in the range test of electric vehicles. Apart from Tata Motors, other EV manufacturers are also expected to announce similar changes in the claimed ranges of their electric vehicles in the coming days.

Earlier, the auto manufacturers announced the range of their vehicles solely on the Urban, city driving conditions. As per the new rules of the MoRTH, the MIDC range will now include both Urban and extra-urban highway driving components. As a result of these changes, Tata Motors has revised the range of its electric vehicle lineup and shared the real-life range figures as the C75 range, which were tested to accommodate higher speeds, AC usage, higher loads, and greater temperature variations.
