I sincerely thank Mr. Vivek Ahuja, Mr. Athul Gopal & PluginIndia team for adding my question in the Q&A session. Thanks a lot to Mr. Anand Kulkarni sir for sparing some time for giving proper response to all these doubts.
First of all, I like the prime update which comes with awesome multimode regenerative braking selection. I would like to add one follow-up question for the last Q&A regarding 'Regen after VCU2.1' update. Everyone selects their own comfortable regen mode for slowing down the vehicle (or not slowing down the vehicle) while releasing the accelerator pedal. I think that is the requirement for regenerative braking selection/controlling. The above case is available for all users for slowing down the vehicle. So a user uses the brake pedal only when they need to stop the vehicle. Older brake pedal response was finely tuned so that users can slow the vehicle as well as stop the vehicle just by using regenerative braking only (not going to the drum brake/disk brake zone of the brake pedal).
So my simple question is why regenerative braking is decreased (while regen mode is set to zero) in the brake pedal? Are users using regen mode 0 not supposed to get the advantage of higher regenerative braking for stopping the vehicle?
It is clearly decreased as I am getting less than 1.5 bar of regen while pressing the brake pedal (with regen mode set to zero). It is not gonna stop vehicles moving at 60 kmph and so I had to rely on disk/drum brakes wasting my vehicle's kinetic energy as heat. I think the user inputs were talking about the accelerator pedal and not about the brake pedal. Please kindly confirm this with owners who asked for this particular feature and give us old brake pedal response which will help us to gain much more efficiency by harnessing more regen for stopping the vehicle with brake pedal irrespective of the regen mode selected.

It’s great to see Mr Anand addressing questions from Tata’s EV customers/owners
And congratulations on the launch and bookings this nation has provided to TATA
My point is very simple, Tata needs to train their sale executives to have good amount of knowledge regarding the product they are selling. I bought a “Nexon 2.0 XM+ Lux” and took its delivery on 09th October’ 2022. I prepared a list of questions I had in mind, but unfortunately the sales person was unable to answer any of them.
Further, I once happens to call “Tata customer care” for some help, but the executive only responds with one statement “please visit nearest Tata workshop”
You build amazing cars, but the support system is very poor, may it be “Sales executive or customer care or other staff” at dealership
I was taken with surprise on the day of delivery that there was no one to help me with my simple question “how to charge at fast charger, if need be”
Even more surprised to see that the charger installed at Tata dealership at Thane was not working and they go outside for charging vehicles before delivery
TATA has to improve on service
They have improved a lot on product quality, now it’s high time they improve on service
VOCAL FOR LOCAL
LONG LIVE TATA’s
Jai Hind
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks for getting our questions answered team. Great job! Thanks to Mr. Kulkarni for taking the time.
A few questions and suggestions for your next Q n A with TaMo:
1) When the first Nexon EV was launched, Tata Companies Chairman N Chandra spoke of the Tata UnEVerse being formed to build and support their EV products. So why is that Tata AIG does not provide an attractive insurance package for Tata EVs and their sales team also does not give clear answers on EV insurance coverage.
2) Instead of the rotary dial, it will be great if TaMo also adopts an electronic gear stick, like Mahindra has done for the XUV 400. It's much more convenient & user friendly.
3) Will TaMo adopt the Blade battery technology created and successfully deployed by BYD, in their future products?
4) What is the update on Tata Chemicals manufacturing battery cells going forward, something which has been widely speculated since the launch of Nexon EV?
5) Is TaMo actively looking at incorporating 5G in furture EVs for quicker OTA updates and other innovative functions? Same question also about the possibility of incorporating Android Automotive as an OS for all car functions?
Mr. Anand seems to be a very knowledgeable gentleman, his answers are very precise and honest, happy to have such people working at Tata.
A big thanks to Atulji & Anandji 👏🏻💐 for covering all the questions & answering to the satisfaction our ev community! Always like & appreciate the safety first approach of Tata Motors !👍🏻 Wishing Anandji, Atulji, team Tata motors & team PluginIndia a Happy, healthy, prosperous & sparkling Dipawali !!🎇🌟🎆🎉🎊
Thanks so much @pluginidnia team and thanks to Mr. Kulkarni to answer these Qs. i think nearly all the questions have been covered.
In all my decades of covering the automobile industry (now getting into the 29th year), I have seen only three other automobile company personalities in India being so forthright and honest in their responses, out in the open, and not surrounded by minders from the PR or Marketing teams.
Maruti Suzuki in the earlier days, with the Japanese in control and Khattar San in the driving seat, came close. Hyundai's BVR Subbu was also as direct, himself ex-Tata Motors, and remains the pinnacle. And then we have Bhavesh Aggarwal of Ola - once again with Subbu Hyung in the background, saying it like it is.
Thanks team PlugInIndia for the effort, thanks Vivek EV-GuruJi for your relentless focus, thanks Asheesh for the course corrections - and of course, thanks all at Tata Motors for the EV range of vehicles which in the Indian context are probably as big a turning point as was the Maruti-800/Maruti Van duo.
I hope all of you give some importance, also, to the rural market for EVs - locations which have traditionally had to buy petrol from plastic bottles, for example. Electricity is available everywhere in India, petrol is not, and the home/farm/mandi three-way run is crying out to be served.
Ola's new Air at 79k, with the flat footboard and twin-fork, is one such example of how a reduced range lower battery and stronger vehicle is the call of the customer.
Good luck to us in India, ending oil slavery is a matter of internal security, and we better believe it. Every 1000kms we do in our Nexon EV is 10000/- less in foreign oil country economies.
Thank you, Anand Kulkarni, I liked the short part about the reverse gear ratios also, and my memories of taking the early Indica petrol up the steep gradient near the track, in reverse, in 1998 - loaded with my cameraman, camera equipment and three then young engineers from Tata Motors. And how the steep gradient was blocked off with a huge truck the next time I visited Tata Motors track for some more high-speed U-turns on the test track.
Anand Sir thanks a lot to answer almost all probable EV related issues. We also thank Plugnindia for taking up issues with Tata and other EV manufactures for a better vehicles in future
Excellent Session🎉👌
Best Work ATUL sir as usual..👌
Let's Appreciate TATA Management too for Detail Answers🎉✨
Much More Add on knowledge for EV Community🎆
Excellent interview. Thanks to Anand for being candid , honest and articulate
informative video, But all EV's in India should move to minimum 11 kw AC & 50 kw DC charging to save time on charging speed at the time of traveling,
And 11kw A/C charger are cheaper with less fuse from getting permission for electricty broad then 25 kw DC charger and can be cheaper for business to install at the site . eg- Hotels, Mall's, office's etc 🖖
I have a question which i would appreciate if asked in a future interview.
With EV technology changing at the pace it is, there might be much better battery technologies with faster charging speeds etc.. would tata motors ever offer the option of upgrading the current battery + charging setup to stay with the times.
I feel that with EVs being a drive to be greens, this would be a great initiative as most people are fine with the features aspect of their cars and would prefer if just the core aspect which in an EV is the battery and charging don't become a liability down the line.
People have already begun swapping the Nissan Leaf's battery packs and adding far more denser battery packs dude to change in technology, thereby doubling the range and charging speeds. Id love it if tata motors could comment on this and if they would ever consider as a viable option over replacing the cars themselves.
Sir,
Thanks a lot for the responses.
Thanks to both of u on arrangement of such knowledgeable session on u Tube
Thanks for catering to the questions
Thank you for placing my question.
Great interview and appreciate Tata motors being so responsive. Thank you Anand and Atul Ji.
Nice Feedback from Mr.Atul and Mr.Anand Thanks
good content super one on one questions and answers
Session like this give more clarity better OEM and customers
I'm probably one of the few Nexon EV owners who has noticed a reasonable rural demand for a lower-priced, stripped down and lighter in weight version of the Nexon EV with a smaller battery (20-22kWh), lesser infotainment, rural range across mixed terrain of about 150kms real distance, removeable back seat and more load carrying capacity. In other words, a vehicle that can go from village to farm to mandi and back with full-on AC.
Hmm
Changes for next nexon ev
1.:) change information screen size (now 7 inch) change atleast 10 inch with rotation facilities
2.:) Change the position of charging point, front number is a good area, some video review mension that the charging compartment filled with mud and water so please aware of that
3.:) Provide ventilated seat swich to sentral console system near the rotary nob
4.:) Increase the Central console system height a little more and put some angle like Lamborghini style......
5.:) Wireless charger position is very annoying and it decreases the premium quality. Change the position
6.:) Provide Moonroof
Amazing Q&A .!!!
Great job👌
Thanks for the Q n A, it was really informative. I have one question/feedback here. Considering the limited charging Infrastructure available currently, how do you plan to make the existing infrastructure more reliable? As of now, there are charging stations not functioning due to power failures during rains. This makes it more difficult for ev owners to plan long trips.
Atul ji. As Tigor Owner..you should have asked solution fot Tigor EV AC issue..
Great job !!! #TataMotors #PlugInIndia
Tata Tiago. Ev
Tigor
Nexon Max
All can be only car garages if
0 to 80% charging can be done in 15 min, and practically possible with an 800volt architecture
A few years to wait for you sir, till the. Most of us stopped burning petrol and running happily …some even done 1Lakh kms ++
Why is it so difficult for OTA update, we should be able to do that with Hotspot from our mobiles, especially diagnostic telematics.
Me from Nepal and Nexon EV owner i want to ask questions where to ask........
How does one compute the battery degradation using the information displayed on dashboard? If a car is driven from 100% to say 10% can the product of wh/km and kms driven give you 90% wh number for the battery? Is there a different way to compute this number. Any user may want to know the battery health status for himself.
Amazing video
Hello,
What is the subsidy for EVs, at present in Maharashtra.
Have Nexon ev booked Tiago.ev
Nice video sir 😊
Here in nepal the seller of Nexon EV does not give us z connect apps authority....... What is the problem here don't know any idea
any plan to increase the number of charging station in every city?
I have booked Tiago ev XT long range and this variant doesn't have reverse camera. I asked dealer can it be retrofitted from company service center. They said it is not allowed any outside fitment in EV vehicle.
Is that true please let me know.
what about the slow gear shift
Hi recently we saw prices of Nexon ev motor and battery replaced for 2 customers. It was mentioned motor was 4.5L and battery pack to be 7L. Any comments on this sir? Please ask this question next time.
I have booked Tiago ev and worried about parts replacement maybe after 8yrs or even it won't have resale value if parts are expensive.
Plz add bigger battery options for early adopters NEV it’s possible make in discountable price it wl help more drive fun with NEV
Sir what abou subsidy????
Hi Sir TIAGO EV Battery Range can be improve for higher Capacity in future or can be extended
Revolt bike ka bhi bata do Nashik me kab ayegi 🥺🥺
Good
In Nepal, Nexon EV’s waiting period is of more than 7 months…its a hit!
Any clarity on subsidy by Haryana Govt on Tiago EV?
Tata cars is known for safety so when we will get ADAS technology in passenger vehicle EV?
Sir what about the Tata service centre, bcz they should improve a lot
PLEASE MUST ADD: PROJECTOR HEAD LAMPS
DRLS
BACKING CAMRA
TO TIAGO EV XT MR
Rats issue much bigger, but people raise this issue rarely. Also, is there any plan in near future to bring in Nano EV, the city car?
Anand Sir you are very much responsive! Why does Tigor EV Ziptron not have a longer range version ?
No space for extra battery? Cost reaching nexon levels?
@@AnoopSinghRanhotra the floor space can be utilised. This will allow for better stability
@@AnubhabKundu The floor space in Tigor will have to be modified to fit the battery, where as Nexon had already the floor spaces to support the floor battery.
@@AnubhabKundu hmm, I was thinking why did they separate the battery module in 24kwr version of Tiago then and not put whole battery in base?
@@AnoopSinghRanhotra , ground clearance will be an issue by adding battery in the floor. Also it may cause floor height to raise leading to uncomfortable seating positions. With Nexon, they already had the luxury of excess ground clearance due to which they could add the battery underneath the floor.
plz a video on Kratos R...............!!!
Q: tata curvv
Will curvv get same sunroof like in concept.
Adas features
Auto parking
LED connecting lights
Sunroof looks bad ass in curvv
Can we be able to charge another car 🚘 using curvv.
Sir please ask this in next interview.
Wating for gen2 car's
from tata
I want MR XT variant of Tiago, which is booked on 10.10.22, the. driver seat to be replaced by hight adjustment seat, by accepting difference amount, can you Mr. Kulkarni, do me a favour by contacting TATA executives?
NOT JUST TIAGO... WE ARE WAITING FOR ALTROZ EV TOOO.. AND MUCH BETTER RANGE...😃😃😃
Ev max is giving less range any possible update which is gonna come
Get battery health checked by tata service center. It's probably down
WLTP range is practical range whereas it is not used in india but all the EVs running worldwide are calculated as per WLTP!
ARAI tested range is not as per real driving conditions!!!
So to overcome this for Any ev running around i use my own formula that is for every 10kw of battery expect a real driving range of 70 kms!!!
For soft pedal drivers expect it around 80kms per 10kw battery
For rash drivers expect it 60kms per 10kw of battery!!
This formula implies to every Ev in Indian market!!
So if we apply same formula on NEXON EV MAX let's assume u r getting range between 240-320 depending upon ur driving style!! So 320 is the max one can extract from Ev Max it wouldn't go beyond that! That 430Kms+ ARAI is a gimmick!
Hope my formula is accurate :) only u can confirm by letting me know ur actual range in day to day usage! Thankx
Even in July 2023. Tata powers attitude and services are disappointing, company needs to accept that they need to seriously look into Tata Power. RSA thankfully I havent had any experience with them. Regarding service, I had smooth 3 services done for my Nexon Prime
Is there any change tata to invest in two wheeler in electronic segment
dont take indian customers for granted update your cars and price as per global brand , if you dont you push out from market replaced with chinese brands.
ಬಾರೀ ಎಡ್ಡೆ ಉಂಡು 👌👍
I had purchased Tata Nexon EV on 16 Jun 2022 last week fm Nuvem showroom the car was stuck in small drain along the road while pulling with the towing hook the hook broke fm the thread it was found out tht it was made of cast iron materials the car was tkn to Verna Industrial area Tata workshop the stuck broken thread rod was removed but they refused to put a new towing hook the EV car is in warranty period kindly requesting the concern person to look in this matter car reg is GA08 AA 2417
I have booked this ev on the opening day itself but since i live in a hilly terrain, I wonder what's the gradeability of this ev, coz this is very important.
Low battery capacity, low motor power and low ground clearance, low temperatures are the enemies of a car in hill driving..
Expect the range to drop by 50% and troubles with very steep hills, might need to jigjaag drive like the good old days.
@@AnoopSinghRanhotra on the contrary! there is a huge regen on downhill!
Tiago easily climbed basement parking tests as it's a sharp climb from basement to group level!
@@vivekvivekahuja Indeed, should be fun.
but can't be equal to work done when climbing, energy gained can never be more than energy lost/used. So car will have some range loss, but I hope that'd be acceptable to the buyer/user. ✌️ 🖖
@@AnoopSinghRanhotra yes same for any Tiago or non Tiago ev
Sir can we expect punch ev in coming days
The product is awesome
But what about after sales services
Tata has left their customers at mercy of service Centers
Sales are increasing that means more cars on road but same capacity in service center
I am owning a TVS Jupiter scooter and Tata Nexon EV
The TVS company takes feedback of service center after each service
But I have not received one call from Tata till take after I bought the vehicle from past almost 2 years
Tata will again lose to their competitors because of irresponsible and pathetic service from the third party service center despite having a wonderful product this time
What is Tata team doing about this ?
I am a Tigor EV xza+ user. Will tata give variable regen and cruize control as an update post launch of tiago with these feature? I feel cheated buying a top model which lack these feature. Also will an after market alloy wheel of same dimensions improve range as the weight goes down?
They mentioned during the Tiago launch that tigor owners are getting an update soon
If the rats damage the power cable, how much it will cost to renew the orange power charging cable.
Why they are standing.....?? Be seated n relaxed .. Interview.
He didn't look very confident when answering about fire incident
Looks like they still haven't found why it happened.
Fail to understand why Shri. Atul refers to Mumbai as Bombay always ?
He is older person, who must have gotten used to Bombay name. Doesn't mean anything.
अंग्रेज चले गए...और...आगे आप....है.. हिदी मे बोला तो कुछ ऊलटी हो जाऐगी...😂
I don't recommend these share..Nifty is all time high and these share is at lowest.. All these has lost it Mojjo..
i think this manager has no any vision, he definately bancrupt tata motor early than anyone expect
if this type of idiots not changing there attitude chinese automaker pushout them in to market.
When you are running the Giant Company, you have to work with its strengths & weakness. He is qualified or not is not up to you. & if you like Chinese made cars go live in China. EV is new tecnology in India where no one has done it before. So they have some initial hiccups, but they will improve over time.
Who you think is more qualified to run a indian ev company. CCP leader.
Who is responsible for ev technology new for India?
Why every technology new for India?
@@PravinShankarGharge you are incapable of of understanding a single thing. You dont have any idea what you are saying.
@@PravinShankarGharge Ice cars & Evs are not same okk, so they need heavy modifications & software + Hardware combo to work properly. Toyota & Suzuki are established companys.
Why aren't they bringing EV cars. Because they have not done there homework & dont have that tecnology yet or they will have 10+ years later. While Tata already developed it.
I have a question. An important one. Why is there CHAdeMO plug on all Tata power charging points? Can't Tata have two CSS plugs Instead? This can accommodate two cars instead of that point getting wasted.
This is driven by govt. Tata power one of the first mass cpo, and EESL, both have a large chademo install base due to a larger compatibility with some manufacturer, who may not even bring their EVs !
