Here’s how the Nexon EV fares against other EVs in terms of price, range and charging

Tata has launched the Nexon EV in India with prices ranging from Rs 13.99 lakh to 15.99 lakh (ex-showroom pan-India). It becomes the fourth EV to go on sale in India in the passenger segment after the ZS EV, Kona EV and the Tigor EV. So, without further ado, let’s find out how these EVs fare against each other.

MG ZS EV	Rs 20.88 lakh to Rs 23.58 lakh

The Tigor EV is the most affordable electric car here
After the Tigor EV comes the latest entrant, the Nexon EV, whose prices start at Rs 13.99 lakh and go upto Rs 15.99 lakh. At this price point, the Nexon EV undercuts its closest competitor, the MG ZS, by around Rs 5 lakh. However, the above mentioned prices are introductory and will see a hike in future.

The Kona EV is the most expensive electric car here but by a very slim margin. The top-spec variant of the Hyundai is Rs 32,000 more expensive than the top variant of the ZS EV.

Where the Tigor is the least powerful car, the ZS EV is the most powerful one.
When it comes to torque, the Tigor takes the last spot while the Kona EV leads the pack.
Despite having the largest battery pack, the ZS EV does not have the longest range. The Kona EV has the longest ARAI-certified range range here.
The Tigor EV offers the least range.

When charged using a DC fast charger, the ZS EV is the fastest charging EV here, followed by the Kona EV. The Tigor EV is the slowest.
Except for the Tigor EV, all other cars come with a free AC wallbox fast charger. Here, the Kona EV is faster to get to a full charge followed by the ZS EV.
All these cars can be charged by a 15A home wall socket as well. Depending on the vehicle, that can take anywhere between 12 to 20 hours for a full charge.
