Bro tata haa nailed it for past few years, only because it's brand we have that bias that it won't be good enough but let me clarify only sometimes they lack in providing the proper finished end product other than that they have definitely nailed Also if you are comparing with BMWs and Mercedes consider the price gap as well
I am from Kolkata and streets here (specially where I travel regularly) are slowly becoming full of Nexon, Tiago and Volvo EVs. Think people are really loving these cars because of their performance and no 15 or 10 year policy instead of range anxiety.
No resale value and how many years battery will last 7 yrs -10 yrs? How many kms ? Spending 40% more on same car range anxiety now a days long trip on car becoming common..now EV should be only as a secondary car or if u only drive in city mostly and monthly running more than 3.5k then only worth
@@nkj9683 > how many years battery will last 7 yrs -10 yrs? does not depend on time, depends on charging cycles. One cycle = full range of the car. LFP has 1500 cycles. Even if you drive like maniac and get 200km range, it will be 300K km before the battery reaches 80% SOH SOH = % of original range. Even then no need to replace battery if that range if fine for your use. > Spending 40% more on same car Nexon Diesel AMT XZ+ and NEV Prime XZ+ have 2.7L price gap before subsidy. > now a days long trip on car becoming common Only 6million VEHICLES (includes trucks and bus) pass tolls daily. Road trip culture in india is nowhere near that of USA/EU. Further, its only in your mind you're imagining no charger present, irl lots of charging infra has developed since pandemic times. Download plugshare app and see for yourself. Infra in south india is so good you can have EV as primary car even today. > monthly running more than 3.5k then only worth You dont have EV (evident enough from your comment) and when a person who has one is telling you clearly that its feasible to use EV for 1000km per month running, you don't agree. Who should we believe? You or someone who owns and knows it well?
yes, same in other smaller cities, people who are into inter-city or short highway runs use this. Also, the tax benefits of an EV car loan is welcome too.
I have bought tata tiago ev LR version on May 23. I Have done 4500kms. I ride mainly in hills and i get from 220-250 kms per full charge . So far happy with it . I have one complain though, I wish tata improve their customer care service . I totally agree with you that Tata should have a dedicated service for Evs only.
You are utilising it well. A solar plant is a must to get the most out of EVs. That makes charging free and you can recover the cost of expensive Ev in just 3-4 years when compared to a Petrol car.
@@bimalgarg95 ranjit already has a solar panel system installed at his roof which saves him almost 75k per year on electricity bill, charging his car will save him another 10-15k per year.
Solar makes sense for EV if you can charge during the day when the sun is up or if you have net metering. If you are out and about all day and get home in the evening when the sun is gone then you need batteries to store the sun's energy. To charge an EV of this size, 40kWh, you will need a huge battery back which is an added cost.@@viveksingh5648
I know its about ones comfort. But you should definitely try moving your seat a little more back. It will definitely help you to use the pedals more easily. At this position you probably have to raise your ankle even more compared to what you actually have to. Also your body is awkwardly too close to the handle. Move your seat half a feet backwards and you will definitely enjoy driving at that position.
Driven mine almost 65k kilometres in 2 years, great car but a LOT of problems. My car has already had a full battery swap (done under warranty) due to significant drop in range which for me wasn't that great in the first place (180kms on the non max version ofc). My main question is how sustainable is this for the environment as I know another person who has also had a battery swap in just over a year of ownership. I agree the drive is good etc etc but as a main primary car I don't recommend it at all, as a secondary yes maybe, but don't buy it with the expectation of saving money as that is not the case once you factor in the cost premium over ice cars because you will really have to cover a lot of kilometres to actually make some savings and then it must be remembered that an ice car over 100k kilometres will work just fine if maintained well whereas a batter pack will degrade no matter what, so by the time you have finished using the car, I doubt these electric cars will have a good resale value which if factored in might make the total cost of owning ice actually cheaper.
But you are over looking one major aspect, which is the driveability and instant torque which most vehicles in this price range lack. Many prefer that over resale value and stuff
I believe that Ranjit is one of genuine TH-camr who tells whats he really feels about product. I am watching his reviews from 2013 when I purchased my first smartphone after watching his videos.
Q1. What are the changes did you notice in terms on EV infrastructure in and around Hyderabad? E.g. charging station availability in workspace, malls, and other places Q2. Did you take your car out for a long drive? Do you get range anxiety? Q3. How do you rate the other competitors in current market? Any alternative?
Considering the premium over regular models, for now EV makes sense only for those with lot of usage. Hopefully soon prices will rationalise. Also, looking forward to a update on your Triumph!
Nexon EV prime is more value if you don't do lot of highway trips, since it's mostly the same car with slightly lesser range ie 250km vs 350km The price gap between nexon EV XZ+ and Nexon diesel AMT XZ+ is just 2.7L In return you get intangible benefits like no jerky AMT, much better performance and silent smooth drive. Tangible benefits, EV is 1/km, even if you get 15kmpl in cty, at 90/L thats 6/km on top of that 5K for every 10000km of service. total saving 5.5/km which comes to 50K km normal person driving 30km per day can cover that in 5y easily If you have solar like me, charging is free so that same calc comes down to 41K km and 4y.

Hey Ranjit. Now that you have a good amount of understanding of EVs through tata, maybe you can test drive other EVs like the kona , xuv400 , etc to get a better understanding of all EVs and to give more credibility as an EV user. For example, the kona has regen paddle controls which makes the regen experience completely different from the tata version since it can brake harder at higher speeds and hence remain more efficient while saving drive time. Also the button system on the kona I found easier than using the round dial on the Nexon. XUV400 has much faster charging curve which makes a difference on highways. Also it does have better space , despite lacking a lot of features that Hyundai or tata provide.
Good to see an EV review as was bored up with the continuous launch & watching of the smartphone devices. Perfect review for an EV. Yes the savings are quite good especially for the people who had purchased it a year ago.
Dear @Geekyranjit, I have the same car and just wanted to let you know that there is a car charging slot near the headrest of the rear co passenger seat towards the left rear door. It's a super odd placement.
I have done 32k in my ev max . Ur review is on point! And regarding the gearknob delay, u can do continuous rotation between D and P mode (other than rotating one by one )😁 I’m also getting the same range as u said .. I hav even got 350 kms a couple of times (ecomode 70kmph ac on , maintaining 110watt/km
Once you start driving an EV with over 250km range, there is no going back to ICE, ever again.!!!! That smooth driving experience, with no gears and instant torque, putting fuel just at home (mostly), is waaaay luxurious and convenient....
Charging costs are even lower in Nepal. I have TOD meter, and I charge mostly during off hours (11pm-6am), it costs me less than 4 Indian Rupees per unit that way !! And there's a 12V supply outlet for rear seats, so there's no issue for charging mobile there !
Hi Ranjith, I completed 60000 Kms in Nexon prime Lux model Jan 2021 with extended warranty. I planned to sell to upgrade for Max recently but people ask for peanut price. I paid 17lakhs and people are negotiating upto 5lakhs, 7lakhs etc 😂. May be a video on resale fair price on ev would be helpful in future.
3 years into it and 60k kms, ur car value has gone down shitter. In next 3 to 4 years the new owner will need a new battery and that will cost him upto 7 lakhs if not more Why would anyone buy a vehicle from u at the price u expect when a more expensive item needs to be replaced in just next 3 years or so? Its like me asking someone to pay 30 lakh for my fortuner i bought for 40 and expecting them to then drive it on a poor engine which will surely need replacement next
@@hiteshadhikarifortuner naam pe bikti hai even if engine was bad people will buy it blindly, easily most overpriced car in India rn Further, people giving 5L 7L obv exist for ICE as well, you'll find lowballers everywhere, whatever you try to sell, laptop, pc, car, house whatever
@@shresthsonkar9207try selling an ev 5 years down the line and come back to me Until u find an idiot, no one will pay u anything near its price Ev resale value for good reason is literally next to Nothing
Could you please tell me more about the range? Please mention details regarding your driving style and AC usage. On the video I noticed that your dashboard showed an average wattage at 120 to 130 wh/km. This should definitely translate to a good range. I am able to get only around 200 to 230 kms on a single charge on my car (same variant). My average wattage is around 180 to 190 wh/km. Even with very economical driving, I am not able to achieve your numbers. When I enquired with Tata motors, they told me that the range will improve after 1 year or 10,000 kms. Were you able to notice any such change?
Myths and doubts about EVs only exist in people's minds until they use one themselves or until someone they trust tells them otherwise. Thanks for the in depth review. It feels on par with a car review since you covered each and every point. I hope the myths in mind of viewers will be alleviated now. One point about charging you should've mentioned is the existence of PlugShare app. Its known only by people who are in the loop ie exisiting EV owners or prospective ones who are in owners groups or team bhp or such platforms. Still I see lot of people unaware about the actual charger situation in comments. Its much better than what they imagine. edit 1 12:30 there's a 12V socket on the top left corner of the rear bench where the seat belt restrainer is on my nexon EV prime, I'm sure there must be one in yours as well. A more logical location would obvisouly be the rear AC vent module to put USB points but 12V socket is very much present for rear seats. Sucks, but at least better than having no point for rear pax
You can’t take the car below 20% I had taken my nexon ev max for a vacation 250km from Mumbai and when we reached, the car was neither charging at the charging stations nor by the slow portable charger (as it was on 10%)despite charging the car once on they way. Not at all practical for outstation trips. Only city driving is good
Very good review infact. Mr Ranjith, have you faced any issues while charging? As some users have reported repeated error while charging. Is there any difference between charging with 3.2 kw vs 7.2 kw chargers with respect to longevity of the HV car battery? Also could you suggest which mode is better while driving in the City? Though ECO mode shows more range, I feel torque is less to navigate through touch n go traffic. Thank you.
Not a strictly car related question but an EV related: What do you think should be a minimum kilometer travel run for an EV 2-wheeler to make sense? Like I remember previously you mentioned that if one's daily travel is less petrol vehicles make more sense
12:35 sir mobile charger for rear seat passengers is above the rear seats (left side around the partial tray of the boot ), please use put a car charger in that and use it if you are a rear seat passenger.
Sir, please make a long term video on your solar panel. It's costs as well. It will be a good video and I think many people also want to shift to solar or green energy.. Kindly consider this comment and requesting you to please do the video.
I am only two points away from buying this car 1: if I am going to own this car than it will cost me around 20 lacs but after the 8 years or 10 years what if battery need to replace and what if it cost you around 5 lacs 2: they haven’t done any crash test with nexon ev max of course nexon is game changer and they had done crash test with petrol/diesel varriant
Ranjit Sir if I'm not mistaken you have 330i M Sport right!! Well i do agree that for everyday commute NEXON EV will be far more suitable and Actually Fun to drive, but for joyrides i don't think Normal EV's are there yet. There is something about BMs that put a smile when you put that vehicle in a corner which EV's for now coz of their sheer weight can't imitate 😅 Appreciated your honest review and would actually love More Content from you in Automobile channel 🙂
@@sanalkumarvg2602 yes i have driven EV that too for an extended period. EVs are fun coz of their torqy motor and incredible straight line acceleration. And that's what MAJORITY of people consider FUN drive But these Germans especially the BMs knows how to put smile in Curves. You can have a Tail happy turn or a sharp turn in these machines. Whereas EVs tends to have a flat turning coz of LOW CG and heavy weight. So I would say if you consider just the Acceleration as FUN you can't beat any EV. But If you consider the OVERALL FUN well the EV have time to catchup...
How do you charge it in parking since you live in a building? Like if such a car is purchased and we live in a CHS, there is no plug point in the parking space how does one go about charging it?
That’s the one issue I also have, if there was charging point in my society or better if I could install 7.7Kw charger I would buy EV. I think it is not for people living in societies yet, coz I see no ev in my society parking.
All you need is 15A socket for 3kW charger. The kit comes for free with car and the company guys do complimentary wiring of 10m If your meter is further than 10m, then you need to pay extra for wiring, usually meter room is on ground floor itself in most of flats At worst you have to deal with 50yo unkils who object to every little thing like female residents wearing western clothes etc At best you setup will be complete by paying little extra from your side for more wiring.
Awesome analysis!! What about the EV scooters? Should we go for it? Does it save us money if someone has an avg. monthly expense on petrol bike of around ₹2k.
Very Nice review Ranjit ji. Can u please tell whats the age of Cells on this car. Do we need to change whole battery or can the be replaced in small sections . Also please tell the cost of that. Would be very helpfull if replied as no one is answering this question. Bye
I have EV max, I bought it in Feb and today I have drove this car more than 22000 KM, but when battery % below 25 it gives me range of 15-17 km in last 25%. So, my question is that have you driven your car at 25% to 1%? If yes then how many Km it gives?
I want to know the details of solar power station you have installed like the capacity, is it standalone or grid connected, cost/kW, make, etc. if you can
How? For 10k kms if u consider IC Car avg as 18 u spend around 555 litres of fuel which would cost around 55000 rs Even with running cost of ranjit being 1 rs kms his ev costed him 10000 for same So basically he so called saved 45k in a year. Even with subsidies on ev and heavy taxes on ICE the final price difference is near 5 lakhs or so This way if i he drives around maybe a lakh kms he will recoup cost but that in same rate will take him 10 years , by which for sure he needs a new battery for his car, battery cost is over 7 lakhs So much for cheaper to have
@@onkargadale m not even comparing with base models, thats the thing, base models are cheaper, m comparing with what u might say is ice equivalent and he mileage of 18 is baseline realistic for nexon. Also do know that nexon what u get for is due to subsidy, its not the real price and yet the price difference between even the top ice to this is around 3 lakhs
Hi Ranjit, Can you please shed some light on the battery degradation? I'm assuming that you are fully charging the battery to 100% at all times and not limiting it to 80% to increase battery longevity.
Hey Ranjit, I'm from Andhra. Electric power charges are spiking every month than petrol or Diesel charges in our state. Even if you buy an electric car here it is less likely that i save more with it rather than a Diesel or electric car😅
In your video u was talking about battery holding capacity of this car...I mean u told that even after 7 days of your charge the car doesn't loose its charge..is that true..I am very particular about this point..none of the ev car review they r not mentioned about this point..u r the first one to mentioned it..pls confirm this point..thank u

Hi Ranjit ji, with the new 2023 Tata Nexon.EV, TATA cleared all your concerns. Thumbs up to your realistic review. Adv. Elvis Vacha
Now after watching your video I am going to buy this car today ❤
1:52 looking at your seat adjustment, my back started aching😂😂
Charging costs are even lower in Nepal. I have TOD meter, and I charge mostly during off hours (11pm-6am), it costs me less than 4 Indian Rupees per unit that way !!
And there's a 12V supply outlet for rear seats, so there's no issue for charging mobile there !
Hi Ranjith,
I completed 60000 Kms in Nexon prime Lux model Jan 2021 with extended warranty. I planned to sell to upgrade for Max recently but people ask for peanut price. I paid 17lakhs and people are negotiating upto 5lakhs, 7lakhs etc 😂.
May be a video on resale fair price on ev would be helpful in future.
Asking price ?
3 years into it and 60k kms, ur car value has gone down shitter. In next 3 to 4 years the new owner will need a new battery and that will cost him upto 7 lakhs if not more
Why would anyone buy a vehicle from u at the price u expect when a more expensive item needs to be replaced in just next 3 years or so?
Its like me asking someone to pay 30 lakh for my fortuner i bought for 40 and expecting them to then drive it on a poor engine which will surely need replacement next
@@hiteshadhikarifortuner naam pe bikti hai
even if engine was bad people will buy it blindly, easily most overpriced car in India rn
Further, people giving 5L 7L obv exist for ICE as well, you'll find lowballers everywhere, whatever you try to sell, laptop, pc, car, house whatever
@@shresthsonkar9207try selling an ev 5 years down the line and come back to me
Until u find an idiot, no one will pay u anything near its price
Ev resale value for good reason is literally next to Nothing
In 60k , you have already saved 6 lakh rs. 8 lakh is fair value.
Any idea how long will the battery last. How much does it cost to replace a new battery. What about resale value.
Could you please tell me more about the range? Please mention details regarding your driving style and AC usage.
On the video I noticed that your dashboard showed an average wattage at 120 to 130 wh/km. This should definitely translate to a good range. I am able to get only around 200 to 230 kms on a single charge on my car (same variant). My average wattage is around 180 to 190 wh/km. Even with very economical driving, I am not able to achieve your numbers.
When I enquired with Tata motors, they told me that the range will improve after 1 year or 10,000 kms. Were you able to notice any such change?
My biggest concern with EV is same as that with my smartphone: Battery Degradation and Battery Replacement cost. Can you please address those!
@@sanalkumarvg2602 thank you for the elaborate explanaton.
Hes the best. Just bought a diakin ac from his review. Works like a charm
Thanks for a honest and concise review! Just in time when I was looking for Nexon EV Max reviews!
it's Teal Blue Color... Looks 👌👌👌.. That Color is insane... Geekyranjit you can also Change it
Such a crisp, well experienced, educative review from an owner who knows what he is doing :) Thanks Sir !
Mr. Ranjeet - Most honest reviewer in India these days🎉
Myths and doubts about EVs only exist in people's minds until they use one themselves or until someone they trust tells them otherwise.
Thanks for the in depth review. It feels on par with a car review since you covered each and every point.
I hope the myths in mind of viewers will be alleviated now.
One point about charging you should've mentioned is the existence of PlugShare app. Its known only by people who are in the loop ie exisiting EV owners or prospective ones who are in owners groups or team bhp or such platforms.
Still I see lot of people unaware about the actual charger situation in comments. Its much better than what they imagine.
edit 1
12:30 there's a 12V socket on the top left corner of the rear bench where the seat belt restrainer is on my nexon EV prime, I'm sure there must be one in yours as well. A more logical location would obvisouly be the rear AC vent module to put USB points but 12V socket is very much present for rear seats.
Sucks, but at least better than having no point for rear pax
Could you cover some of the anticipated costs? Especially life and any repairs of the battery. Thanks for the review!
You can’t take the car below 20%
I had taken my nexon ev max for a vacation 250km from Mumbai and when we reached, the car was neither charging at the charging stations nor by the slow portable charger (as it was on 10%)despite charging the car once on they way.
Not at all practical for outstation trips. Only city driving is good
I'm waiting for Mam's review just the way she did with trident 660 😅
Very good review infact. Mr Ranjith, have you faced any issues while charging? As some users have reported repeated error while charging.
Is there any difference between charging with 3.2 kw vs 7.2 kw chargers with respect to longevity of the HV car battery?
Also could you suggest which mode is better while driving in the City?
Though ECO mode shows more range, I feel torque is less to navigate through touch n go traffic.
Thank you.
Insurance cost & Battery related warranties. Also, expected resale value after5-6 years.
I would like to hear your thoughts on battery replacement cost vs the money saved on petrol
Thanks ❤ I asked on Twitter whaetther u like this or BMW...the answer is clear ...my future car will be Nexon ev🎉😊
How does it perform (acceleration, power delivery and handling) compared to your 330i? Please rate both the cars.
Not a strictly car related question but an EV related: What do you think should be a minimum kilometer travel run for an EV 2-wheeler to make sense? Like I remember previously you mentioned that if one's daily travel is less petrol vehicles make more sense
I think he had done an Ather 450 owners review on rides and vlogs channel
@@shresthsonkar9207 yes I've watched it. But may be any new info
12:35 sir mobile charger for rear seat passengers is above the rear seats (left side around the partial tray of the boot ), please use put a car charger in that and use it if you are a rear seat passenger.
We need your review of New Facelifted Nexon EV
There is a 12 v socket in the rear seat near the headrest, you can check.
Thank you. This is a very informative review. Really helpful. 👍
You r way better than any so called auto expert ... Respect❤
He is just gem 💎 in the world full of fake auto expert 😊😊😊 especially the arun gawar
Sir, please make a long term video on your solar panel. It's costs as well.
It will be a good video and I think many people also want to shift to solar or green energy..
Kindly consider this comment and requesting you to please do the video.
I am only two points away from buying this car
1: if I am going to own this car than it will cost me around 20 lacs but after the 8 years or 10 years what if battery need to replace and what if it cost you around 5 lacs
2: they haven’t done any crash test with nexon ev max of course nexon is game changer and they had done crash test with petrol/diesel varriant
What about the battery 🔋 if it degrades after the warranty is over then what would b ur action on it?? It's the any backup plan for that??
I just watched your reviews before buying mobiles and accessories. Now Cars🎉Thank you Geeky Ranjith ji..
M14 dynamic range and selfie are awesome ❤
Ranjit Sir if I'm not mistaken you have 330i M Sport right!!
Well i do agree that for everyday commute NEXON EV will be far more suitable and Actually Fun to drive, but for joyrides i don't think Normal EV's are there yet. There is something about BMs that put a smile when you put that vehicle in a corner which EV's for now coz of their sheer weight can't imitate 😅
Appreciated your honest review and would actually love More Content from you in Automobile channel 🙂
It happen when u comment about EV cars without driving it, may be you have driven EV two wheelers
@@sanalkumarvg2602 yes i have driven EV that too for an extended period. EVs are fun coz of their torqy motor and incredible straight line acceleration. And that's what MAJORITY of people consider FUN drive
But these Germans especially the BMs knows how to put smile in Curves. You can have a Tail happy turn or a sharp turn in these machines. Whereas EVs tends to have a flat turning coz of LOW CG and heavy weight.
So I would say if you consider just the Acceleration as FUN you can't beat any EV. But If you consider the OVERALL FUN well the EV have time to catchup...
If Ranjit Sir is happy, it means the product is really great.
How do you charge it in parking since you live in a building? Like if such a car is purchased and we live in a CHS, there is no plug point in the parking space how does one go about charging it?
That’s the one issue I also have, if there was charging point in my society or better if I could install 7.7Kw charger I would buy EV.
I think it is not for people living in societies yet, coz I see no ev in my society parking.
I think it's a silly question. You make your own arrangements.
In video you might have observed wiring is seperately done.
All you need is 15A socket for 3kW charger.
The kit comes for free with car and the company guys do complimentary wiring of 10m
If your meter is further than 10m, then you need to pay extra for wiring, usually meter room is on ground floor itself in most of flats
At worst you have to deal with 50yo unkils who object to every little thing like female residents wearing western clothes etc
At best you setup will be complete by paying little extra from your side for more wiring.
12:07 exactly !! I also a nexon ev max and blindspot is scary. Ecosport also has a big blindspot. They should learn from maruti about blindspots
Awesome analysis!!
What about the EV scooters? Should we go for it? Does it save us money if someone has an avg. monthly expense on petrol bike of around ₹2k.
Hello Ranjit ..can u tell us about battery replacement and service cost of this.....and when is battery replacement required
I have driven Nexon XZ+ diesel for 80k KMs and my car gives 25KMPL even now, performance is just awesome just go for it guys… Nexon any day.
Ranjit Sir,
How much does it cost to service this EV?
Very very genuine review sir , I'm very much like your review of tata Nexon EV Max.
Thank you very much RanjitSir ❤
Cornelius Would Be Proud.🙌🏻
Being a hyderabadi..love your reviews even more
From buying phones after his suggestions now buying cars 😊😊😊😊
You missed the service cost? Can you mention the normal service cost in tata service center?
Hello Sir, a big fan of you since ages would love to see an indepth video on a solar plant of yours.
Very Nice review Ranjit ji. Can u please tell whats the age of Cells on this car. Do we need to change whole battery or can the be replaced in small sections . Also please tell the cost of that. Would be very helpfull if replied as no one is answering this question. Bye
Gentle suggestion:-
Improve audio quality while shooting in car,
For example mkbhd car video.
What about the service cost? And how about the battery cost? When should you replace it?
Sir please upload the full review of redmi 12 5g
I have EV max, I bought it in Feb and today I have drove this car more than 22000 KM, but when battery % below 25 it gives me range of 15-17 km in last 25%.
So, my question is that have you driven your car at 25% to 1%? If yes then how many Km it gives?
Its cell unbalancing issue, usually take the car to 10 percentage monthly once and take charge till 100 percent most of possible time,
I want to know the details of solar power station you have installed like the capacity, is it standalone or grid connected, cost/kW, make, etc. if you can
He is the most honest reviewer
TATA is❤
Great review Ranjit. Can you point me on how to use solar power to charge this car?
what happens when the batteries are out of warranty/worn-out? How much do you need to pay to replace the batteries?
Around 8 to 10 lakhs
There is a convert software on the left side of the rear seat please check
fantastic review Ranjit. I am planning to get Tiago EV as my 2nd, but may go up for Nexon, still deciding.
Same experience with me as I have driven this car for 30,000kms and almost saved around 2.7Lac of fuel...
How? For 10k kms if u consider IC Car avg as 18 u spend around 555 litres of fuel which would cost around 55000 rs
Even with running cost of ranjit being 1 rs kms his ev costed him 10000 for same
So basically he so called saved 45k in a year.
Even with subsidies on ev and heavy taxes on ICE the final price difference is near 5 lakhs or so
This way if i he drives around maybe a lakh kms he will recoup cost but that in same rate will take him 10 years , by which for sure he needs a new battery for his car, battery cost is over 7 lakhs
So much for cheaper to have
@@hiteshadhikaridon't compare with base model of ice nexon compare with top model. That make more sense
@@onkargadale m not even comparing with base models, thats the thing, base models are cheaper, m comparing with what u might say is ice equivalent and he mileage of 18 is baseline realistic for nexon.
Also do know that nexon what u get for is due to subsidy, its not the real price and yet the price difference between even the top ice to this is around 3 lakhs
Sir, can you please make a video of how one can get a solar power setup at home? The companies that do it, the cost, operational chores, etc Thanks!
There is charger for rear seat !!!! Literally in the seat , near the seat release of rear seat - 12 volt port
you are just amazing as always Ranjit
What abour the battery longivity and replacement costs? That's the most important part in EV segment.
I am really intrigued to know if you wanna go for an upgrade to the latest 2023 EV facelift :)
Hi Ranjit, Can you please shed some light on the battery degradation? I'm assuming that you are fully charging the battery to 100% at all times and not limiting it to 80% to increase battery longevity.
Hey Ranjit, I'm from Andhra. Electric power charges are spiking every month than petrol or Diesel charges in our state. Even if you buy an electric car here it is less likely that i save more with it rather than a Diesel or electric car😅
In your video u was talking about battery holding capacity of this car...I mean u told that even after 7 days of your charge the car doesn't loose its charge..is that true..I am very particular about this point..none of the ev car review they r not mentioned about this point..u r the first one to mentioned it..pls confirm this point..thank u
