Tata Nano Electric has been spotted on test for the first time.

The electric version of the Nano has the same looks and it has been testing in Pune for a while. Since, the introduction of the FAME (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric vehicles) scheme, there has been an acceleration in the sales of electric and hybrid vehicles. The government has been offering subsidy on hybrid and electric vehicles.

There has been a further reduction in taxes for these kind of vehicles.

Tata Nano Electric Interior

On the inside, the Nano will get an all new dashboard that will be inspired from the Tiago. Most of the elements will be shared with the Tiago and this will mean it will look upmarket and much better than the competition. This will be a five seater hatchback that will have the same space as the Nano. There will a much larger boot also as the Nano won’t have an engine and even the boot won’t become hot that easily.
