Tata Nexon EV buyers facing waiting period of up to six months: Report
Tata Nexon EV is one of the most popular electric cars in the country. The popularity has led to a long waiting period for buyers in the country. Nexon EV buyers are reportedly dealing with waiting periods as high as six months. Considering that EVs are way behind in terms of overall volume, this waiting period reflects a paradigm shift in demand.
The Nexon EV has a waiting period of up to six months, according to a report by Autocar India. This high waiting period can also be attributed to general supply issues. The company’s ICE-powered vehicles are also witnessing a heavy demand but low supply. The semiconductor shortage is plaguing the Indian automotive industry.
Tata Nexon EV performance since launch
Recently, Tata Motors announced that they have managed to sell over 13,500 units of the Tata Nexon EV since its launch in 2020. The EV is one of the most attractive packages for a buyer looking to switch to a greener fuel. Tata Motors has two offerings in the sub-Rs 15 lakh price category. One is the Nexon EV and the second is the Tigor EV, which is priced even lower.
Tata Nexon EV Range
The Tata Nexon EV comes with a claimed driving range of 312 km and it is powered by a 30.2 kWh battery. The powertrain can produce a total of 127 hp power and 245 Nm torque.
The price subsidies offered under FAME scheme by the central govt and the state-specific subsidies have provided some incentives for buyers. However, in comparison to its ICE counterpart, Nexon EV is still pretty expensive. The cheapest variant that is currently available is priced at Rs 14.29 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi) the highest variant is priced at Rs 16.90 lakh (ex-showroom). In comparison, the Tata Nexon starts at a price of Rs 7.39 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi) and it goes all the way to Rs 13.34 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). It is important to note that the base variant of the Nexon EV and ICE-powered Nexon will have a wide range of differences.
