Tata Motors has been playing an important part in the development of the EV ecosystem in the Indian market. The brand has already been selling the Tata Nexon. Now, Tata is looking to launch another affordable EV. Recently Tata unveiled the Tigor EV with Ziptron technology.

What are these new range details?
A spy shot of the Tigor EV is clearly showing the instrument cluster. The cluster is showing a 59% remaining charge and a simultaneous remaining range of 204km.

The battery pack on the Tigor will come with fast charging capabilities. It can go from 0 to 80% in an hour using this fast charger. Normal charging will take 8.5 hours.
