Tata EVision Electric

EVision is a concept car and Tata has not revealed details of the E-Vision’s electric powertrain save for mentioning that it will have a sub-7 second 0-100kmph sprint time and a max speed of 200kmph. We can expect a range of about 300km to 400km from a battery of an unknown capacity that powers the dual electric motors mounted at either axles. This puts it in the same league as some of the popular electric cars like the Hyundai Ioniq, Chevrolet Bolt and the Tesla Model 3 that can cover as much 300 kilometres on a full charge. We believe that the production-spec version could also feature a hybrid powertrain, if not regular petrol and diesel engines. While India is still not ‘the’ market to go all electric, Tata is expected to soon enter this space with the Tigor EV, which was displayed at the Auto Expo 2018. We expect more electric and hybrid cars to join Tata’s fleet since India is expected to implement CAFE (corporate average fuel efficiency) norms from 2022, which will require all carmakers to have a minimum average fuel efficiency for their entire portfolio; and hybrid and electric cars will make it easier for carmakers to achieve the fuel efficiency targets.

The only technical information available about the car is that the concept features two motors, one on each axle which will make this sedan an AWD. Another good news is that it will feature both slow AC charging and fast DC charging, with a range of 350-420km on a single charge. Performance enthusiast will be glad to know that the EVision will have a top speed of 200kmph and will reach triple digits sub-7 seconds.
