Tata is a manufacturer that is heavily betting on its electric vehicles. It is already spearheading the EV segment in India with cars like the Tigor EV and Nexon EV & is expected to do it again with the Tiago EV. So what can Tata do next? Most probably, Tata’s next EV could be the Altroz EV. However, the Punch EV is another car Tata could launch under its EV expansion plan. What will be its range and battery specifications? And, how can it become the perfect Rs 12 lakh SUV for the market? In today’s article, let’s find out.

Range and battery expectations

Tata Punch EV

The Tata Punch is based on the Alfa-Architecture like the Altroz. This platform was built to accommodate electric batteries and motors. So fitting the batteries and motors shouldn’t be a problem for the brand. So, what battery option can it get? It could get the 26kWh option or the 30.2kWh option. The most probable option is the 26kWh option as Tata would be looking to differentiate the Punch EV from Nexon EV. The 26kWh battery pack has a claimed range of 306km on the Tigor. Still, these are only speculations, and Tata might surprise everyone with a unique set of battery pack for this and the Altroz EV.

Tata Punch EV – What else to expect? 

Tata could pair the 26kWh battery pack with a 72bhp motor. Tata uses this pairing on the Tigor EV. What about the design? Design-wise, we can expect some subtle design changes. It could get blue highlights on the bumper and other parts, along with the Signature Teal Blue colour. Feature-wise, we can expect some new features to spice up the deal. 

Tata Punch EV – Launch timeline & pricing

There is no official confirmation from Tata regarding the Punch EV and nor has it showcased the car at any Auto Expos. However, Tata has declared that all its vehicles can go electric whenever the company wishes. But the Altroz EV is expected to come before the Punch EV. Punch EV could be launched sometime in 2023 or 2024. What about its pricing? The Punch EV could be priced somewhere around the Rs 12 lakh mark (ex-showroom).

How can it be the perfect SUV?

Tata Punch brings with it two important elements; SUV-like characteristics and compact dimensions. With both these elements combined, the Punch EV becomes a great city car. Add to it – an electric powertrain, and it becomes an economical vehicle as you really do not have to worry about high fuel prices. Moreover, with the availability of modern features like semi-digital instrument cluster, premium sound system, etc add more comfort and convenience. All-in-all, the Punch EV has the potential to become a perfect electric SUV for many.
