As an ex Jaguar development engineer I am interested to see that whilst the Indian branch of the Tata Group can produce 3 new models this year, JLR's abysmal record is just one - the large Jaguar I Pace which is now 4 years old. Not surprising that JLR CEO has been fired! These new EVs will help fill the gap for B & C segment cars at the same price or less than their ICE equivalents that for the majority of sales in the UK & Europe. Cant wait to try one!
Indeed JLR has quietly built its own battery manufacturing business, the battery universal platform is now ready. Undoubtedly the ultimate question is do they intend to import the Indian manufactured cars with a Jaguar badge for the under £30,000 market. It has been done before and presently there are only three cars, in that market, the leaf, mini and MG4 and they are all selling well.
300+ km range for 10000$ is amazing. Years ago I bought a 25 km/h electric moped with 50 km range for almost 3 thousand euros. This is a serious EV car for 10000!
The 10000$ car is a hatchback named Tiago with a range of 180kms. Nexon is a small SUV priced 20000 to 27000 with 30kwh - 40kwh battery pack giving range of 220kms to 280kms real world range.
I’m 59 years old. Retired & drive very little. I would LOVE an expensive, small, go around town car. I keep thinking about the Chevy Bolt, but keep hesitating because it really should be no more than $22,000. Not $32,000 plus.
The Canadian and American car markets desperately need more choices in EV's especially in the lower price brackets. The demand in Canada alone has led to a minimum of 18 months - 2yr waits f you are lucky to get an allocation. That's with an average EV price of $65,000 CAD. All EV's are sold out unless you're willing to pay absurd markups.
Absolutely that I would buy one, a simple one, not software sophisticated, but a bigger one; at 1.5 bigger, with a good and useful trunk volume behind the back seats, spare tire, eventually hatchback, etc, at $15 000.
@electricviking, BYD's Air EV went on sale recently in India badged as the MG Comet EV. But there are the following reasons why I personally would choose the Tiago over the Comet: 1. Not so fit people, elders especially, can easily use the backseat, since it's a 5-door. 2. 3 people can fit into the backseat (with a squeeze). The Comet can fit only 2. 3. Enough bootspace for a run to the grocery store, for lighter airport runs, or a weekend trip. 4. Tiago has better range and supports fast charging (Comet doesn't), so can drive farther and with shorter breaks. 5. The Tiago has a 5-star Global NCAP safety rating, whereas I haven't heard of the Comet being tested yet. 6. Tata has a more widespread service network in India. 7. The Tiago "should" fetch a better resale value, than the Comet. Couple of things I personally find better in the Comet are: the quality of interiors, slightly better exterior styling, and ability to park in tighter spots.
That was not a car but a mopet with a roof. Thus too expensive versus a decent motorcycle thus a complete failure. It did sell 6 months decently then down and down
Tata was a household name growing up in India, they have become a global brand in last two decades. I would buy these cheap Tata EVs at $10K in US, even $15-20k. Due to their low price, insuring them would be much cheaper in big cities like NYC. I dont need an advanced expensive Tesla vehicle just like i dont need a $1400 iPhone. I mostly drive less than 100miles a week. Indian cars have suspensions built to handle rough battered roads. These EVs may last forever and may be preferred for delivery services which drive less than 150miles per day.
The nexon is a cool looking design. Tata has hit the nail on the head and I reckon, because of the price, they would probably sell very well around the world. Also a worthy note. India has got some of the best tech heads in the world. If the build quality and reliability was there, I would definitely consider the nexon.
hey, electric Viking your subscriber here from India, I would like you to cover an EV company, Ola. What they have done for 12 months and their future plans will blow your mind. Point to note:- they have also built the world's largest 2W Factory.
Yes the Tiago or the Wuling Macron is exactly what I want - ideal for a couple commuting in an Australian city. Problem is people in Australia are duped into getting huge vehicles for prestige and perceive 'safety' when in fact they are only safe for the driver and they kill more other road users. Small carbon footprint of these small battery EV commuters - less than 1/10th that of a Landcruiser - will become a major reason for buying them. But licensing fees for IC vehicles need to be increased (i.e. by up to $2000) to reflect their carbon and crash mortality cost and incentivize people to buy small EV's.
Here in Canada our cars need cabin heat capable of handling minus 40. If the car can keep me warm, then I want one ASAP. The smaller the gadget feature list, the better (less to go wrong). Put me down for one.
I’m looking forward to all these cheaper models as there just isn’t enough secondhand EV’s yet. Catering to a less wealthy segment of the population but also a much bigger segment of the population. Come on Tesla get the model 2 coming off the production line 👍🏻
Only a question of time everywhere. The first gen EVs had a big dip in depreciation because the batteries degraded too quickly. I believe the market needs at least one more generation of second hand EVs to correct itself. so wait 3-5 years and get one of the cars that are sold now. My plan is to buy a used tesla model 3 with CATL's LFP batteries when they are 5 years old.
We need this in the U.S. so bad. It's difficult being a regular person here because it seems everything is marked up so much. Tesla's cost more than anywhere else on earth and dealerships are marking up all other models of evs so much it makes them unaffordable. I'm excited for a Tesla model 2, but I'm afraid of it costing 40-45k here and selling for 25k in China. Sorry for the rant, I'm just having a hard time these days with inflation/prices and can't afford a car for my family.
U.S needs a $20'000 EV car, build the best/largest car that money can buy. As car insurance in USA for someone under 25yo can be $400/month, a $10K ($200/month) car is unproportionally so $20K it is.
Get Jaguar to re-engineer the larger ones and give them a higher specification, sell them as Jaguars and they won’t be able to make enough. The I-Pace is an excellent vehicle, the fact it’s an EV just adds to that.
The car Market in India is around 2.5 Million per annum. The biggest Car Manufacture in India is Maruti- Suzuki. They have a 50% Market share. Hyundai & Tata comes next, each with a 15% - 18% share. Tata Nexon was the first EV. Then came Tata Tigor ( Sedan ).Due to the high petrol price, people want $10000 electric cars here. Here comes Tata Tiago.( India is the biggest market for electric scooters. Electric scooter sales are catching up. You should make video on this ) The build quality of these cars is amazing as Tata owns steel and other metal manufacturing plants. The build quality is what revamped Tata's growth in the last 5 years. Before the acquisition of Landrover & Jaguar, Tata was not reliable. Tata also owns Software company. so it's easy for them to ship software. The charging infrastructure is pathetic, otherwise, India will sell lots of EVS.
There is a channel on TH-cam that converts Nissan Leaf`s to 18650 battery format and gets above 70kw in the battery tray... no reason it could not be bone to Tata ev`s...
Yes, I am English in Brazil; there is a huge market potential for a 10 - 15K US$ electric car here... Brazil is 2 - 5 years behind "ROW" in many tech areas; electric cars especially. Hybrid is just starting to grab market here; pure electric is less than 1%. very little road based charging infra, lots of apartments with difficult charging infra, few car models for sale.. But 2 - 3 models in the US$15K ball park would now help jump start the market.
Tata is renowned globally for its trucks and buses so I do think they would be successful in the EV mass market. Name recognition matters. Tata's problem will very likely be that it cannot make enough to satisfy the demand. It will be interesting to see if Tata builds a new EV factory to satisfy the export market.
@@stormtrooper8420 Tata cars can easily take over the budget EV hatchback in most countries, if only they had a market there.

The truth is they have a lot of features packed at the price , but is otherwise very difficult for other Auto manufacturers. Also , BYD is sort of a little expensive in India and considered more premium when compared to Tata 's offerings.

Now that you're a big mover and shaker on the EV scene, please use your considerable influence to get Tata motors to bring this little gem to Australia, Samuel. Thanks in advance.
3:35 Yeah, sure there's more people in India, Mr.Electric Viking, but if they all decide to become motorists, albeit electric powertrain .... does that work for a sustainable future??? Does it even work for urban transport???
They have 200 million vehicles , good news 80% are 2 wheelers (less polluting , more fuel efficient) converting them to EV will take another 20+ years or longer
Many people are not aware that Tata also owns one the biggest tech companies in the world TCS which will make it much easy for them to integrate software into their EV platform
I hope they learned from the diesel truck they tried to bring into the states in the late 90's. It couldn't pass homulagation, most of the Indian car markets are horrible in crashes and need extensive modification to even get 1 star safety. I want these to come to the U.S but that is a hard market to break into.
if TATA is in the game, then Tata wins the value race cos they know how to make them small value cars. Tesla should focus a bit more on its sub $@25k car asap. Why is Australia not in the game of making EVs? They making batteries at least.
I'd be interested even though my plan is to hang on to my old ICE banger for as long as possible. I think even if we are talking AUD$25k, rather than AUD$20, they will have difficulty keeping up with demand (not that that would be unusual for any EV). Does depend on other players in the cheap EV market in the next 5 years - that would be the risk for tata.
The Wuling was exciting to me when it was under 10 grand but it looks like it will be more than double that in Indonesia, yeh they increased the range but the value to compromise equation is ruined. It is a tiny plastic car so they can't expect to get the same money as a bigger regular gas car for them if they want to see mass adoption. A 10,000 Ev should be possible given how much simpler they are to produce.
It's all because of one man called "RATAN TATA". One of the most respected persons of India. We just love him, such a wonderful person. A man who is highly intelligent, hardworking, most disciplined and more than anything a great great human being. Hats-off to him!!
The car hasn't even been produced yet. The video doesnt even say who makes the battery or what chemistry it is. Nothing has been accomplished except an announcement.
@@-whackd did I talk anything about car here? It's not a big deal producing these EVs for Tata, they already produced millions of other cars for decades. I'm just talking about a man behind the organization, know about all his achievements, you would wonder too.
It’s a no brainer. Lots of young people want to go green but they can’t afford v current models in Australia. Imagine a $15AUD ($10KUSD) which also qualifies for a $3K Gov EV grant. Young drivers will buy in droves.
Granted locals Indian certainly will choose & prefer local brands. Local brands usually do much better given if technology is similar in all EVs So Tata is likely be the number one EV brand & seller in India for certain
They have to ramp up with new factories . Just the 20000 demand they plan to start deliveries from Jan next year. They were selling 2500+ of their Nexon $17000 model. $10000 is price point 30% of indian car buyers can buy
For sure ! Tata needs to market these in the US, why do you think the VW bus and bug were so big ? Cheapest new car the youth could afford ! Tata needs to make a Van too !
Nexon is 5star rated in EU NCAP & other two are 4star. About SAIC & BYD nah i dont think general indian will buy it because you know our border clashes only the car geeks will buy BYD, i like the design of BYD HAN but i would also prefer indigenous product. Even though MG started their market in past here still they are able to beat many foreign brands. *Bdw Checkout the upcoming EV from MAHINDRA/BE (Born Electric - co brand of Mahindra) designs are terrific and they said the production model will look 90% similar*
When you save $100s on gas per month with close to zero maintenance costs, these $10k EVs would absolutely sell! Some 80-90% of people drive less than 100kms per day, so you just plug it in at home to top it up.
in poorer countries even bikes can be a revolution to take goods to market instead of walking. also to transport food and water. saves time and effort.
No, the Chinese over counted their population by 100 million - they don't want to admit that because they like the title of largest country by population in the world but they are not.
India sells about 23 million cars in India that’s people companies and governments. They can’t sustain car industry unless they ship to other counties Most cars in India are made by various companies with Toyota parts
Just out of geniune curiosity, what made you think they're using toyato parts? Like the state I'm living in is called the Detroit of south asia due to presence of major global brands manufacturing, but most of them make their own parts in India.
250km of range with 19.2Kw battery? Thats an average consumption of about 7kw / 100km. I don't think that is possible yet unless you have some serious limitations in power and speed. I will wait to see independent reviews and tests. People say they want these cars in they're countries but they don't buy them. Look at Dacia Spring. Not selling all that much. And don't forget the import taxes that raise the price.
The market will only benefit with competitively priced alternatives being offered. There are too many legacy car makers making luxury EVs to the rich and upper classes and twiddling fingers muttering about economy of scales as to why they cannot be cheaper.
Most tata products turns out to be pretty reliable that's how they're staying in business for more than 150 years , the safety standards may not be as good as German car brands but tata products are usually more reliable than Japanese cars like toyata but for much cheaper price.

@@-whackd while the Tiago doesn't exist, it's older sibling does and is actually quite a good car. Tiago is just a hatchback version of Nexon
It’s a no brainer. Lots of young people want to go green but they can’t afford v current models in Australia. Imagine a $15AUD ($10KUSD) which also qualifies for a $3K Gov EV grant. Young drivers will buy in droves.
Local Indian likely buy local brands more
I would love to see one of these in the US
It looks like Tata is testing the Nexon EV in Australia at the moment. :) Would not be as cheap as hoped though...
with taxes it would be $22000+
@@davelawson2564but that's good looking car
I miss the Froggie on your wall!!!!!
They are right hand drive great
Wuling Air might struggle on the global market as it’s classed as a quadricycle and won’t pass any NCAP safety standards.
does anyone know that this car is name on football player tiago messi
MG air wuling may not succeed in India as it looks like a box car, to me such cars are least accepted in India.
But 3 wheelers are easily accepted for decades they are even smaller
Granted locals Indian certainly will choose & prefer local brands. Local brands usually do much better given if technology is similar in all EVs
So Tata is likely be the number one EV brand & seller in India for certain
yes we want them in Sweden and EU
Fisker is going into India too.
It sounds like the production facilities are woefully under catered, however.
They have to ramp up with new factories . Just the 20000 demand they plan to start deliveries from Jan next year. They were selling 2500+ of their Nexon $17000 model.
$10000 is price point 30% of indian car buyers can buy
For sure ! Tata needs to market these in the US, why do you think the VW bus and bug were so big ? Cheapest new car the youth could afford ! Tata needs to make a Van too !
Yes I would buy one and 3 off my kids would like one as well
Africa is a market that India knows.
I would argue Tata’s first EV is the Jaguar I-Pace
Looks very good
Yes, I'd consider buying one, if it were not for the crippled export duties imposed by the Indian government.
We need a small EV for driving around town. Will keep diesel 4x4 for towing.
Wuling looks real 'drac;, Tiago not so bad though.
Tata cars have 4 - 5 star crash test safety ratings! Not sure about other GM-SAIC cars
Nexon is 5star rated in EU NCAP & other two are 4star. About SAIC & BYD nah i dont think general indian will buy it because you know our border clashes only the car geeks will buy BYD, i like the design of BYD HAN but i would also prefer indigenous product. Even though MG started their market in past here still they are able to beat many foreign brands.
*Bdw Checkout the upcoming EV from MAHINDRA/BE (Born Electric - co brand of Mahindra) designs are terrific and they said the production model will look 90% similar*
I Will !!!!!
Since I own lots of Tesla and BYD stocks I hope they both build an affordable EV not everyone can afford an expensive car.
All manufacturers should slowly shift to India. India has a stable economy but also has a soft corner for struggling economies.
When you save $100s on gas per month with close to zero maintenance costs, these $10k EVs would absolutely sell! Some 80-90% of people drive less than 100kms per day, so you just plug it in at home to top it up.
in poorer countries even bikes can be a revolution to take goods to market instead of walking.
also to transport food and water.
saves time and effort.
Surely, the population of China is still larger than that of India, no?
No, the Chinese over counted their population by 100 million - they don't want to admit that because they like the title of largest country by population in the world but they are not.
Similar, both well over a billion people and raising the standard of living rapidly.🤔
I would buy one in cash right now if there were available in Canada.
Are you French Canadian?
India sells about 23 million cars in India that’s people companies and governments. They can’t sustain car industry unless they ship to other counties Most cars in India are made by various companies with Toyota parts
Just out of geniune curiosity, what made you think they're using toyato parts? Like the state I'm living in is called the Detroit of south asia due to presence of major global brands manufacturing, but most of them make their own parts in India.
Lol... In India Toyota is rebranding Suzuki cars to survive. 🤣
I'd buy one of these (Toronto)
250km of range with 19.2Kw battery? Thats an average consumption of about 7kw / 100km. I don't think that is possible yet unless you have some serious limitations in power and speed. I will wait to see independent reviews and tests. People say they want these cars in they're countries but they don't buy them. Look at Dacia Spring. Not selling all that much. And don't forget the import taxes that raise the price.
Thanks sir
Welcome
250km for 19 kwh is ridiculous. my MG barely does that with 42kwh.
TATA made a very smart decision by leveraging the same battery pack supplier as the SGMW/WuLing Mini EV. 🤓
Evs are so freaking expensive. I look forward for these models in Canada
The market will only benefit with competitively priced alternatives being offered. There are too many legacy car makers making luxury EVs to the rich and upper classes and twiddling fingers muttering about economy of scales as to why they cannot be cheaper.
I would buy one if it cost the same price range as ice vehicles please bring them to the Philippines
Letin Mengo is the winner, I would buy one for 3k
You missed the Altroz EV by TATA Motors
Altroz EV doesn't exist until now. Maybe in the future. Tata Punch has a better chance to be the next EV from them.
Altroz ev has a ground clearance issue
I would be interested in one, once I can see the reliability is ok
Most tata products turns out to be pretty reliable that's how they're staying in business for more than 150 years , the safety standards may not be as good as German car brands but tata products are usually more reliable than Japanese cars like toyata but for much cheaper price.
TATA is well renowned for its quality and reliability. It's all because of one man called "RATAN TATA".
Yes we need cheaper EVs in the Caribbean and RHD is already from Indian. No conversion needed.
Yes I would.
Tata cars build quality amd safety is top tier, on par with volvos, audi, vw, bmw.
Does the Electric Viking actually own an EV? Not being a troll, just a real question. Never seen him talk of his cars or review any.
He is waiting for his BYD to be delivered.
Just [purchased] received shipment of a second [EV], yesterday, I believe was reported,.. 😉
He got one yesterday and will be reviewing it shortly.
@@marksandison3642 Excellent!!!! Finally!
Cheap doesn't mean economical throughout life
