Scoop! Tata Altroz EV to get larger battery, 40% more range

The same battery option will be offered in the Nexon EV as well.

Buoyed by the success of the Nexon EV, Tata Motors is now gearing up to introduce the Altroz EV in the Indian market.

We have learned that the company is setting up another production line for the Altroz EV, which is expected to be launched in the near future.

The Altroz EV will use Tata's Ziptron electric powertrain. But what's more interesting is that the car is likely to get an additional battery pack option. This larger battery pack is said to offer 25-40% more range, which equates to around 500 km.

We have also learned that the same battery option will be offered in the Nexon EV as well. At present, the crossover comes with a 30.2 kWh battery pack that powers a 127 BHP electric motor. The ARAI certified range of the Nexon EV is 312 km (MIDC cycle).
