Bought a Tata Nexon EV Fearless 45 and took it on a 425 km road trip

This is our first electric vehicle and also our first car with an automatic transmission. And it was also our first long road trip in an EV.

Finally, we brought our Nexon EV Fearless 45 home. In one word the car is amazing.

It is our first EV or may I say first AT car. It is a very smooth experience. The suspension provides a confident and compliant ride. The SPORT mode is just exhilarating.

We are currently averaging 140wh/km.

PS:- Planning a 350km round trip. Let’s see how it goes

Update

So, we completed our first long journey with an EV.  It was a total of 425km round trip.

The car performed well. The suspension smoothed all the unexpected “crates” on the Western Peripheral Expressway.

We started with full charge and took our first break after 150km (SOC:53%).  Attempted to charge the vehicle at 3 different EV stations, found success with the Statiq one (but funnily no money got deducted from the wallet).  TATA Power one didn’t respond somehow and didn’t detect the gun being attached to the car. Charged for 20 minutes to 74%.

Continued the journey and later charged the car when SOC came to 43%. Used Jio BP charger 50kWh charger for 17kW worth of battery in around 25-35 minutes I guess to top to 78%.

Drove the car like an ICE ie. with AC on and in range 90-100kmph. Combined with short bursts of high speed of 120kmph (this is the legal limit of WEP Expressway)
