Tata Tiago EV city range test: Managed 201 km with 8% battery remaining

Beyond 10%, the battery was dropping very slowly as the limited performance mode had been activated.

BHPian EVwaleGgn recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

I tried to test the full range of my Tiago EV LR XZ+ for the first time since purchase, and the result was more than satisfactory. Starting will full charge and 1197 km on the odometer on Tuesday morning (18/04/23), I drove back and forth from home to the office (~23km one way), for 4 consecutive days, along with a small detour on the last day. I'll have to say I was a bit anxious on the last leg because I recently read a post by a Nexon EV owner about the battery suddenly dropping. However, such a drop didn't happen till the end of my trip, by which point the battery was at 8% & odometer was at 1398 km. In fact, beyond 10%, the battery was dropping very slowly as the limited performance mode had been activated. I didn't note down the odometer reading at 10% battery level, but the distance from the point where I got the warning to my home is around 10km.

In the attached graph, you can see the drop in battery level with the distance covered. I only noted the reading at stops, so smaller variations are already averaged out. As I mentioned, in the end, the battery drops very slowly, so I suppose the car could've done up to 225km without deep discharge. I would note here that I kept the climate control to about 27 deg C every day, and charged my phone in the car ~50% of the time.

I am not a very experienced EV driver, as you can see from the odometer reading (of my first EV). My driving score is ~8 currently, as seen in the ZConnect app (screenshot attached). I am hoping that in the future I might be able to get a somewhat higher range. Maybe about 10kms more. However, I can say for sure that an ICE car driver will not be able to get this much range on the first day of him driving a Tiago EV.
