The 563kms was possible only by driving in the early mornings or nights without any traffic, with the AC off at all times and with minimal stops whatsoever. It’s not an accurate metric for the driving range, you would obviously encounter traffic and switch on the AC in your daily commute! This was just to gain a record by Autocar and MG a clear promotional event!

The actual range would be close to the ARAI claimed range if not less.

Yeah I know that. If you read my comments clearly, I mentioned these are extreme conditions and not normal driving conditions.

Are there any similar videos of Tata Nexon EV and Hyundai Kona from Autocar? No offence meant, but more than an autocar video, it looks like MG sponsored video. I wish they make a similar video of Nexon EV, I'm curious to know its real world range, discharge rate of battery in a single stretch.

None taken. It is sponsored by MG but executed carefully by Autocar. There are no other videos for Kona or Nexon EV from Autocar, however, there is one video done by Gaadiwadi for Kona EV. Link details are below, this one is not done in such extreme conditions, this is done with AC, Headlights, Music system on etc. Gave a mileage of 350+ for them.

Hypermiling by Autocar was a sponsored content from MG , since their ARAI rating of 340KM was not so great for a 44KWH battery pack , Nexon EV with a 30KWH pack got about 312KM, Hyundai KONA with 39KWH got a staggering 452KM !
MG proved it's battery pack strength with Autocar video under strict test conditions , but owners also can use these techniques to extend the range in emergency situations.

Hyundai is praised for its efficiency all over the globe , whether it's 39KWH or 64KWH Hyundai got a lot of efficiency tricks under its sleeves , here's a video from a Kona owner from Kerala, who does a 410KM trip from Trivandrum to Calicut in a single charge with AC and juice left with the battery for another 40KM at the end of the trip !

https://youtu.be/UG7Q7JvOHLY

ARAI rating is based upon an estimation of consumption under standard conditions and it will not deplete the battery during the test. Rating of EVs based on the ARAI figures are as follows -

Kona EV - 11.5 KM/KWH
NEXON EV - 10.3 KM/KWH
MG ZS EV - 7.72 KM/KWH

From various EV owner reviews one can easily achieve 7 KM/KWH in Indian driving conditions for current set of new generation EVs available in India, that's about 210KM for Nexon , 300KM for MG and 275KM for Kona .

Maximum range reported by one Nexon EV owner is about 240KM for 90% battery under normal use , we are yet to see a hypermiling video record for Nexon EV that may shows its efficiency capabilities.

This person is Sarath and works as a sales executive in Popular Hyundai, Cochin.
He is the person in charge of Kona over there, so he did this to see if he can actually manage 400km with careful driving.
Him being a salesperson doesn't really take away what he has accomplished in this video. I believe Kona can do around 400km if you can really understand the way regenerative braking works. Kona has one of the best regen systems and paddles make it extremely easy to use.

Saw a hypermiling video of Kona on youtube. Here's the video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHsqkplcdPU

Note that these have 64.4kWh battery and each car managed more than 1000km. So going just by battery capacity, 39.2kWh should be able to do 610km.
But 64.4kWh Konas have around 200bhp and 39.2kWh versions have around 130bhp. So that might affect the range too. I guess it might do around 650km. Please correct me if I am wrong.

A subsequent video (uploaded a day later) talking about some of the improvements with the latest firmware updated which has improved the real-world range and also fixed issues with fast-charging.

Good to see Tata Motors being responsive and rolling out fixes soon. However, these shouldn't have cropped up in the first place. That said, coming from a software background, I shouldn't be making such statements

[DarthVeda]

our fellow member Shashank had a talk with top bosses of Tata Motors EV, and it was good to know they are all for hearing feedback from first adopters and they are also aware of few "issues". They are pushing an update early September, which addresses some of them. It was good to hear their reasoning/logic for some of the quirks which we observed

[S.MJet]

Tata to supply 150 Nexon EVs to EESL.

Tender was for 250 EVs, remaining 100 are Hyundai Kona.

Out of the total procurement, Tata Motors will supply 150 Nexon electric compact SUVs while Hyundai will supply 100 units of its Kona electric SUVs, they said.

As per the latest deal, EESL will procure Tata Nexon at Rs 14.85 lakh each, just Rs 14,000 cheaper than its ex-showroom price of Rs 14.99 lakh. Kona, which offers a higher range, will be procured at an 11% lower price band of Rs 21.1 lakh.

Amit has another update for us:

I have hit another problem w.r.t charging my car.

The mechanical pin which locks the charging gun during charging seems to be engaged. Now this pin is acting as an obstacle while inserting the gun. So I cannot charge the car.

I have attached a pic which shows the current charging slot. You can see a white-colored small stick which has protruded out of its position. That stick is now causing the charging gun to NOT fit properly.

Thanks,
Amit Sapre

Can the whole system reboot(if such thing can be done) helps.

The problem got fixed after he showed a way on how to dis-engage the lock pin. He also cautioned me to NOT try this method as a default way. He said it could be misused by other folks.

I am not elaborating in detail on how he did. But to give an idea : He manually, using a lever mechanism, moved the pin-lock back to it normal position. Now the charging gun fits properly and I could charge the car.

During a couple of minutes of interaction regarding this issue, he did mention that he is aware of similar issues reported but it was observed while car was being charged.
For him it was first time see the pin lock engaged without the charging gun inserted.

Hello members,

Anyone from Delhi who have already purchased or planning to purchase Nexon EV. I would like to know if you have applied( planning to) for latest FAME subsidy?
What about road tax and registeration fees?
