Tata Nexon EV Max at 1 month & 2000 km: Observations & real time range

The driving pleasure just keeps increasing by the day and one thing worth mentioning is that the change between the driving modes is real quick.

Quick update. I have been using the EV max for a month now, completed 2000 kms. Took the car to the workshop as well for the 1st general checkup between 1000 and 2000 kms. Was not charged anything, they got the car cleaned did some brake checking, battery voltage check etc. Nothing worth any significance.

Luckily the journey so far has been very smooth, no issues yet apart from small ones like the iPhone not getting charged properly on the wireless charger, or the brake lights lit even after switching the car off if you turn the car off with the foot on brake. Apart from that no big issue that I can report here.

The driving pleasure just keeps increasing by the day and one thing worth mentioning is that the change between the driving modes is real quick. Like I was driving in Eco mode once, had to quickly overtake another car, so I just pressed the Sport mode button, next second floored the car and I was literally out of sight. That one instance is something that cannot be expected from any other sub 20 lakh rupee car. Also one special mention for the auto hold feature, it works flawless. Have used it since day 1 and it's really a big boon in the Max version.

Didn't take the car for any highway drive yet so won't comment on the highway range with cruise on but only once I have covered 233 kms from 100% SoC to 21% SoC in the span of 3 days. That's pure Mumbai city driving with 40% highway drive on EEH and WEH. Tried fast charging the car once just out of curiosity at a 30KW Tata fast charger located in Phoenix Mall Kurla. Was impressed with the speed, but it did take me 3 attempts to start charging. Other than that been using slow 3.3kw charger only.

Never have I been a victim of range anxiety thanks to planning the total kms of driving I am going to be doing through a day and figuring out the charging requirements accordingly.

To conclude, for over a year I was a fence sitter with respect to the Nexon since a few things weren't to my liking like the top speed being limited to 120 kmph on the Nexon 1.0 (EV Max is 140kmph), absence of cruise control, and of course lesser range. But after buying the EV Max, I am sure it was worth the wait and if you are a fence sitter as well, then you can trust me when I say this, just go ahead and make that decision, this car won't disappoint you!
