@@priyankasharma393 oh yeah! And its better in safety as well!

@@abhijeetgyal thank you. How much range are you able to get out of your Punch? With highway driving at 100kmph I'm getting 350km from my Curvv 55kwh. It can go up to 400 with some conservative driving.

@@CarTechTravel i usually drive at 85-88 kmph and get about 230-240 km to 90% , usually I charge before limp mode kicks in as car is almost unusable in that mode

@@Criticpositive my favourite ones are ChargeZone, Statiq and Tata Power EZ app for charging. And for planning I use plugshare and ira.ev.

@@Criticpositive the complete list of chargers that I use are mentioned in th-cam.com/video/xn-xuLlzBz4/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared Skip to 15:34 in this video.

@@Marugar3435 sure, I'll create this series in English as well.

@@jaivardhanyadav4636 Nissan Magnite is one of the most affordable compact SUV, similar to Renault Kiger, but definitely not the best.

@@ranjuonline86 sure, here's the link; ev.tatamotors.com/accessories/details.html?sku=885732003643 Also, talk to your dealership, they might have some discounts in it.

@@rexster76 thanks for the feedback, I've stopped using background music in my videos that I posted after this one.

@CarTechTravel hey no i dint mean that way 😂. I just thought the music was too much.

@@rexster76 well I'm still learning what works for everyone, there were others also who mentioned the same. So trying new ones without any music and is lesser work for me as well :)

@@Anmol4824 that's a great choice! Did you recently buy it?

@CarTechTravel yes one month back. Latest model is refined and AMT is butter smooth. On highway with light pedal driving of 700 km got 24 kmpl mileage. Suspension is also good.

@@Anmol4824 Congratulations! Which state did you register in and how much did you pay? It'll help everyone if you are comfortable sharing.

@@praveenmahabal I'm glad you liked it, please let me know if there's anyone else that you would like to see which I missed.

@@ads7506 thanks, and Harrier EV should also come sometime in 2025.

I think actual aviability if Sierra is 2 years away

@@mehrapramod the 60kw version is expected to be 24.9L ex-showroom for pack 3. The 80kw one would go up to 30L after taxes.

@@mehrapramod that's interesting! Even for long road trips do you use Curvv EV instead of Creta?

@ yes even in hills. In plains chargers are everywhere you have to plan your journey accordingly. Usually I take rest where chargers are available.

​@mehrapramod can you tell me how to plan EV drive and what charging apps can be used?

@@Criticpositive before journey I full charge my veh at home and see the DC fast chargers which felt every 150-200 km(soc being 50%)through app plugshare, ehub by mg, statiq etc usually installed in hotels or restaurant where I rest and take lunch or dinner by the time veh gets topup in 40-60 min. for night-stay I book hotel where owner agree to provide 15amp plug , for that I have an ext 25mtr cable of 4sqm 3 core and 5 mtr earthing cable. Overnight it gets charged

@@mehrapramod that's great to hear! Thanks for sharing.

@@Thekiranxyz well the math is not that complex here, it's just the KW I added (46 rounded up) times the usual cost per KW (Rs 15). That's 46×15= 690. It just excludes the tax part on the Rs 15 per kw, that all.

That's a great choice! Which variant and how much did you pay for it?

@@GAMER.95247 I'm from Chattisgarh, but the prices mentioned are the on road price in Karnataka which has the highest road taxes.

@@Alaukiksharma237 that's a great choice! Would you mind sharing which variant and at what price are you getting it?

@@0911prasanna yes, the ghat roads are in good condition, just stay on 748AA to reach Belagavi. Avoid the bad roads through Khanapur, the one we took in this video.

@CarTechTravel Thank you for the response

@@nicks231988 sorry to hear about that, hope it gets better soon! Meanwhile, instead of a cushion, it might be better to use a back support like this; Lower Back Brace with Suspenders, Back Support Belt for Men & Women- a.co/d/j1liUmY And if you really need a cushion, this seems to be a good option from Freedo; myfrido.com/products/frido-ultimate-car-backrest-cushion

⁠yes I already have a belt for the back but thanks for suggesting the frido back rest cushion. I really appreciate 😊🙏

@@nicks231988 Check if Mr DIY store is present in your city. They have some good memory foam back support cushion with range Rs 1000-2000.

Yeah, I've faced it sometimes. Since then I've pulled it to touch the rearview mirror so it doesn't move much. I found another similar option which goes on the vents; Aromahpure Premium Car Perfume Vent Clip amzn.in/d/aZDNUnq

@@CarTechTravel Thanks...this looks good. Now, I prefer Gel based perfume. You can place it anywhere. It's personal preferance and we all have many options.

Sure, I'll create a post on my channel and list down all the useful accessories with their links to buy.

Fast charging has no impact on warranty as long as compatible charging gun is used and no hacks are applied.

10:20 I got the magnetic sunshades from Tata Motors dealership, it's one of the original accessories. Mrp is 3k, I got it for about 2.5k after discounts. There are 3rd party magnetic shades available on Amazon for cheaper but don't know about the quality.

Sorry, I'm still learning Kannada, not enough to speak while making videos.

@ hopefully you will learn Kannada soon

I'm using 70mai A510 dashcam, it has starvis 2 sensor making the video quality better.

@@thunderstrom7157 uphill consumption is about 1.5 times the usual. And 380 is the range when average speed is 80kmph (ranges from 100+ on highways to 20 in traffic). If driven at 80kmph on highways, it'll give around 440-460 range

@@SamMdn yeah I usually wait till the charging speed drops. That is around 90-95% in Curvv EV. Also the manual suggests to charge till 100% once after 3-4 partial charge even with a DC fast charger.

What to feel there.. Curvv EV is an excellent car. By the time those 2 Mahindra cars start getting delivered, he would have saved nearly 80K to 1 lk Rupees..

@@AB-mq8pr it feels great to see more EV from Indian manufacturers!

@@nicks231988 that's interesting, I didn't know that insurance can skip specific ghats/roads from their coverage!

@@RaviKSingh I'm glad you liked it!

@@karunakarabn2215 thank you, I tried to cover all the aspects; route, road conditions, charging stop and a short summary

@@NIKHILJADHAV111 sure, abhi to Hindi and English mix videos hai channel pe. Kafi aise bhi viewers hai jinko Hindi nahi aati.

@@vinayk177 we took 12 hrs when we left at 5am from Bengaluru. 9.5hrs of driving and 2.5hrs of breaks.

@@wisdomofthoughts2946 I use plug share to plan for new route, for known ones, I've added them in my Google Maps. You can watch the planning details here: th-cam.com/video/xn-xuLlzBz4/w-d-xo.html&feature=shared

@@saranshmehta2656 I might have considered XEV 9e purely due to the size. Pack 3 seems to be feature loaded and 60kw battery at Rs24.9L, so no road tax on Karnataka.

@@CarTechTravel But I guess usually only 3 people will travel right, so wouldn't you want 6e for the sportiness compared to the 9e? Also thanks a lot for replying :)

@@saranshmehta2656 we also have 2 dogs, and it's difficult to get them inside as the trunk height is too much in Curvv. And honestly I found BE 6 design bit too much on the inside and out.

@@Mahendra_d85 on this trip it took us 2.5hrs of total charging break. Actual charging was about 1.5hrs. We faced electricity outage in our second stop causing longer break.

@@CarTechTravel Thanks for quick response really appreciated. Can you make video on Curvv battery technology, OEM of battery, warranty, by when we need to replace battery, replacement cost, is there any drop in battery charge quality after using for few years, what is the better mode (capacity)of charging, how much time will it take to charge at home and what is the cost per full charge with home connection.

@@MKJagadish agree, that is an ideal place for charging. Usually there are restrooms and restaurants also around the toll booths. I've come across some which are actually located next to such booths

@@rahulsubramanya4753 mine is Currv EV 55kw, Empowered + A (ADAS). Showroom price is Rs 21.99L and I paid Rs 22.5L on road, there's no road tak, and insurance was Rs 50k which I bought it online.

@CarTechTravel So as per your model, the claimed range is 585km, the real world range is 420 (as you mentioned in your videos) thats a significant difference of 160km. And if you drive in sports you said 380. Don't you feel you should question the showroom considering its a huge difference.

@@mohnishism yeah I feel EV infrastructure is adequate for travelling out of Bangalore in each direction. Within city, there are more than enough chargers available. Yes, Tata has an ongoing offer for free charging upto 1000kw with any new Tata EV bought after Oct 1.

@ thank you! Plus no road tax in Bangalore on EVs. Sadly I just bought the Taigun last year. Will have to think it through 😅

@@drantrikshpatel this is a limited time offer on all new Tata EVs. They provide 1000kw of free charging but only at Tata power chargers. You have purchased an EV after Oct 1, you can talk to your dealership to get the offer.

@@jagadeeshjawkz7496 I drove at the speed limit most of the times without worrying about the range as I had planned for charging stops after every 200km. In city driving I get 400+ range as the speeds are not high and regen is active.

@ I was planning for Mahindra BE6 till now (for highway usage strictly) but your video is making me think twice

A 10% difference in range between city and highway usage will be fine but the difference you got is almost 25-30% 😳 I was mentally prepared to use an ev but now my confidence levels are down

@@jagadeeshjawkz7496 it really depends on the driving style, you should see the video in the link to understand my style; which is overtake everything that comes in the way :p Link: th-cam.com/video/yotDJvzNXQQ/w-d-xo.html&feature=shared

@@jagadeeshjawkz7496 if you can wait few months, you can test drive both to decide. Be6 has some promising performance, but I find Curvv to be more practical. Mahindra XEV 9e might also be a good option depending on what you are looking for.
