Very nice video. Dr. Madan highlights some essential points about tyres, maintenance, and also the AC. And no degradation of batteries.. wow..

[@sunilkumara2877]

As u say degradation I am disliking...

[@ganeshram863]

Iam a Tata car fan. Had Estate Indica V2 IndigoeCS Xenon 4x4 and recently sold Zest XTA automatic after completing 110000kms. Presently own 2019 Nexon XMA. Awesome fuel efficiency of 22kmpl in city. After viewing this I have decided to buy the revised extra range Nexon EV for sure

[@RaphaeHalim]

The last 5 minutes of this video are the most mind blowing! Well done PII team, & Dr Madan!

[@SripalTAD]

Cruise control is necessary in EVs especially if you wanna hypermile

[@AnupMkyklm]

I personally feel, ev shouldnt have ev cruise control because the car is silent and apart from steering control there is no other activity one can do. A person is engaged with the vehicle using the accelerator pedal. We loose the contact with the vehicle once cruise gets to action Second, regen can’t be gained

[@SripalTAD]

@@AnupMkyklm I own 2 Electric cars I know how much my leg hurts in long journeys keep feathering the accelerator to keep at not too much power not too much regen to maintain speed in highway.

[@Himanshuyadav-tz9yy]

Good news is they added Cruise control via software update even to old Nexon EVs

[@karthiks1713]

One thing to highlight about the tyres is that, there are many different types of tyre compounds available. The tyre that's being used in Q3 is softer compound and hence degrades faster and pros is gives better grip and braking. While the tyre in the Nexon Ev is of harder compound tyre which in turn increases the range and reduces the rolling resistance of the tyre(panic braking would sometimes lock the tyres while less probable in softer compound tyres). For Ex. Regular ICE Nexon uses different tyre(Goodyear Excellence in Top variant) and generally the MRF tyres are harder in almost all OE fitted cars and generally last to 65-75k kms.

[@rajatverma360]

hmmm nice

[@Daddycoolajay]

Well said Also the reason these tyres are lasting longer is the speed and breaking restriction As he said he dosnt break and uses single peddle drive and i am guessing he drives in abt 50-60kmph

Remember when smartphones were evloving.. initially they were developing so fast that your phone will get outdated in 2 years.. especially performance and battery wise.. but now even the mid range phones have great performance and battery.. wait for EV technology to develop! Where an upgrade will feel like just a feature addon and not a drastic performance addon

Tyre wear out is Unbelievable. Well done team

[@aravindanrajendran7686]

That too front tyres

[@ganeshram863]

Because there is no big engine weight

[@kohliabhi]

@@ganeshram863 Couple of factors. One as you said missing engine weight (but overall EV weigh is higher due to battery however it is more distributed) Another major factor is .... driving habit of EV owners :) Max wear out happens of hard braking if you are doing single-pedal driving your tyre life is automatically increased (this can be done in ICVs as well, but regen range ext makes it a habit for EVs) another major contributor would be fast pickup (especially from a standstill) which again most EV owners would avoid to enhance battery millage.

It’s an excellent interview first of all. Dr. Is so excited and proud of his vehicle. He should be an engineer inside to calculate the cost and performance like this. I felt like I learned more about Audi maintenance compared to the Nexon 😂 . The entire team is really doing a good job. It takes lots of efforts to put in.

[@kiraneranki5295]

Truly inspiring story on EV . My friend readied himself to buy 25L car either Alcazar/Hector .. he invested in Tata motors when share of worth of 5L and said will buy Nexon EV with that money. Now he made more than 10L profit with Tata shares (Indian company grown leaps and bounds in 2yrs) share so he shifted his priority from EV to luxury segment . This kind of story shud make him rethink of wasting money on ICE cars .

[@Anknown_guy]

Its better to get an update when the Doc reaches over 1,60,000 Km which is out of warranty and how is the performance, battery degradation and any other parts replacement or major repairs after after warranty period? as this guy is the only person who is about to reach the warranty period of the Nexon EV, is it really necessary to get his view.

[@erannaksheerasagare9324]

how is it that battery replacement cost is not spoken about in his videos?

[@Anknown_guy]

lol, you do not understand the concept of warranty and how to use it, right now he didn't face any issue with the battery degradation. as per research battery degrades by 5% (Worse case, using fast charging in most cases) yearly on EVs. let's assume it gonna take him 3.5 years to complete the 1,60,000 warranty, his battery will just degrade by 17.5%, he will still have 83.5% health of the battery remaining. even though this guy has used his EV for 20 months (over 1.5 years) he didn't face any degradation probably because he charges it EV at home (slow charger) most of the time and thus his battery is not degraded enough to be noticed by him. The Average battery degradation is 2.3% per year as per Tesla Model S, but due to Indian climatic conditions you may consider 3.5% - 4.5%, so it comes down to 3.5% degradation per year, so for his vehicle, he will lose 10% of the battery when he completes 1,60,000 KM, right now he is getting 240 Km and its already 1.5 years old, 1.5-year-old car and 3.5% degradation per year, his EV vehicle just degraded 5% of the battery during that period which is about 15 Km. He does not need to change the battery when he hits the 1,60,000 mark which he is gonna make it in 3.5 years, the battery will degrade 12.25% and he will still have 87.75%. so at 87.75% health, he will still have a range of 210 km (assuming 240Km at 100% health) It's like assuming, you are gonna change your Car engine after the warrenty period which is 3 years.

Hi sir..I am from nepal. I love the way u share all the information about ev. I am planning for nexon Ev but some of my friend they told me that after 1 to 2 years there is significant degradation in battery and motor performance. Is it true sir. Please guide.

[@annmary6974]

There is an 8 year replacement warranty for both the battery and motor....that doesn't mean that it has to be replaced after 8 years...it may last more than that...Moreover, one need not have to remove the whole battery as it is made of cells and only some of them has to be replaced

[@AnoopSinghRanhotra]

Same here...with my research I gather that in hot climates like ours, one can except a 15-20% degradation. I above example Dr. Madan said, he did 195km with 21% battery remaining, that calculates to 125watss/km, ie 8km/KW.. Which is must say is very good efficiency. An average EV gives about 160watts/km of efficiency. For more details see videos of Bjorn Nyland, especially the MG EV videos, as that's the next option for us in Nepal. Although the Kia Nero EV is he most efficient with least battery degradation due to its heat pump, but damn that is expensive, and I'm not sure whether the new Kia Nero 2022 comes with hest pump. Simple cutoff for me is - don't buy an EV if it doesn't have a heat pump or direct battery cooling in our hot climate

Nexon makes a strong case for frequent commutes and seminurban to rural areas. The running cost is almost negligible for this car. However I'd still stick on to a diesel car for this decade as the next decade will be dominated by EVs Till then, we can understand the resale of EV and if range increased to 700-800km per charge, that's the day I'll make the switch to EV as my drives involve huge distances

Sir please answer my question... because I have 2 years old diesel Nexon and my daily running is 120 kms. 160000 kilometres ke baad battery compulsory hai kya change karna ? Ya ye 250000 tak bhi chal saktee hai ? I humbly request you to share your experiences.

[@AnoopSinghRanhotra]

Chalti रहेगी, all lithium batteries will have some degradation from 3rd years onwards.. So 2 saal के baad, depending on your driving style and battery charging and care style, expect a 10-20 km range drop for every year... So agar 2nd year end main gaadi 200km दे rahi hai, to 3rd year के end तक it will give 195-185 km, which is acceptable for any EV'S. LFP batteries degrade less than MNC batteries, heat pump or active battery cooling system, helps delay battery degradation. - important while buying, ask these 2 questions.
