You are utilising it well. A solar plant is a must to get the most out of EVs. That makes charging free and you can recover the cost of expensive Ev in just 3-4 years when compared to a Petrol car.

And the cost of solar panel as well

[@kushalraj93]

Solar makes sense for EV if you can charge during the day when the sun is up or if you have net metering. If you are out and about all day and get home in the evening when the sun is gone then you need batteries to store the sun's energy. To charge an EV of this size, 40kWh, you will need a huge battery back which is an added cost.@@viveksingh5648

@@nkj9683 > how many years battery will last 7 yrs -10 yrs? does not depend on time, depends on charging cycles. One cycle = full range of the car. LFP has 1500 cycles.

Download plugshare app and see for yourself. Infra in south india is so good you can have EV as primary car even today. > monthly running more than 3.5k then only worth You dont have EV (evident enough from your comment) and when a person who has one is telling you clearly that its feasible to use EV for 1000km per month running, you don't agree.

I know its about ones comfort. But you should definitely try moving your seat a little more back. It will definitely help you to use the pedals more easily. At this position you probably have to raise your ankle even more compared to what you actually have to. Also your body is awkwardly too close to the handle. Move your seat half a feet backwards and you will definitely enjoy driving at that position.

Such an awesome review, way better than autocar reviews etc. Too good🙌🏻🙌🏻👌🏻

[@lukemenezesdasilva3450]

Driven mine almost 65k kilometres in 2 years, great car but a LOT of problems. My car has already had a full battery swap (done under warranty) due to significant drop in range which for me wasn't that great in the first place (180kms on the non max version ofc). My main question is how sustainable is this for the environment as I know another person who has also had a battery swap in just over a year of ownership. I agree the drive is good etc etc but as a main primary car I don't recommend it at all, as a secondary yes maybe, but don't buy it with the expectation of saving money as that is not the case once you factor in the cost premium over ice cars because you will really have to cover a lot of kilometres to actually make some savings and then it must be remembered that an ice car over 100k kilometres will work just fine if maintained well whereas a batter pack will degrade no matter what, so by the time you have finished using the car, I doubt these electric cars will have a good resale value which if factored in might make the total cost of owning ice actually cheaper.

[@narendhiranpandurangan684]

U r spot on. Unless we get a sustainable alternative for battery technology this EV thing will never take off in the long run

[@sharzo7728]

But you are over looking one major aspect, which is the driveability and instant torque which most vehicles in this price range lack. Many prefer that over resale value and stuff

[@ajendrasingh1220]

no need to resale the EVs , just abandon them on any road , and purchase new one...older EVs are nothing but scrap.

[@kavishvira7249]

Agree

[@shank240]

Considering the premium over regular models, for now EV makes sense only for those with lot of usage. Hopefully soon prices will rationalise. Also, looking forward to a update on your Triumph!

[@shresthsonkar9207]

Nexon EV prime is more value if you don't do lot of highway trips, since it's mostly the same car with slightly lesser range ie 250km vs 350km The price gap between nexon EV XZ+ and Nexon diesel AMT XZ+ is just 2.7L In return you get intangible benefits like no jerky AMT, much better performance and silent smooth drive. Tangible benefits, EV is 1/km, even if you get 15kmpl in cty, at 90/L thats 6/km on top of that 5K for every 10000km of service. total saving 5.5/km which comes to 50K km normal person driving 30km per day can cover that in 5y easily If you have solar like me, charging is free so that same calc comes down to 41K km and 4y.

Very good review infact. Mr Ranjith, have you faced any issues while charging? As some users have reported repeated error while charging. Is there any difference between charging with 3.2 kw vs 7.2 kw chargers with respect to longevity of the HV car battery? Also could you suggest which mode is better while driving in the City? Though ECO mode shows more range, I feel torque is less to navigate through touch n go traffic. Thank you.

[@ExtraLayer]

[@nujjigram]

Hey Ranjit. Now that you have a good amount of understanding of EVs through tata, maybe you can test drive other EVs like the kona , xuv400 , etc to get a better understanding of all EVs and to give more credibility as an EV user. For example, the kona has regen paddle controls which makes the regen experience completely different from the tata version since it can brake harder at higher speeds and hence remain more efficient while saving drive time. Also the button system on the kona I found easier than using the round dial on the Nexon. XUV400 has much faster charging curve which makes a difference on highways. Also it does have better space , despite lacking a lot of features that Hyundai or tata provide.

Could you please tell me more about the range? Please mention details regarding your driving style and AC usage. On the video I noticed that your dashboard showed an average wattage at 120 to 130 wh/km. This should definitely translate to a good range. I am able to get only around 200 to 230 kms on a single charge on my car (same variant). My average wattage is around 180 to 190 wh/km. Even with very economical driving, I am not able to achieve your numbers. When I enquired with Tata motors, they told me that the range will improve after 1 year or 10,000 kms. Were you able to notice any such change?

Solar panels how it needs to be connected as the car is having battery a solar panel can be connected directly to it or like in traditional manner solar panel pushes power to battery and from that battery we need to connect it to our car battery Or it needs to be on grid without any batteries?
