I just did this calculation for myself last week! It's surprisingly cheap compared to petrol. The key figure you need is your electricity bill's "per unit cost." The Curvv's battery is speculated to be in the 40-50 kWh range. My electricity cost in Delhi is about ₹6.5 per unit. So, for a 45 kWh battery, a full charge from 0-100% would cost me roughly ₹292.5. In reality, you'll rarely drain it to zero, so a typical top-up will cost even less. It's a game-changer – for less than the price of a movie ticket, you can get over 400 kms of range. Makes you think, right?

I use a Nexon EV and usually charge at Tata Power stations in Pune. The app shows the cost upfront — for a 30 kWh battery, I pay about ₹500–₹600 for a near-full charge. Extrapolating that, the Curvv EV will cost double since the pack is double. So yes, expect around ₹1,200 for a full fast charge. Still cheaper than a tank of petrol though!

Charging at a public Tata Power station involves different pricing structures, unlike the fixed rate at home. They typically have two types of chargers: AC Chargers (Slow/Fast): These are usually priced on a per-unit (kWh) basis. The cost can range from ₹12 to ₹18 per kWh, depending on the city and location (malls, highways, etc.). DC Fast Chargers: These are often priced on a per-minute basis as per recent regulations. The rate can be anywhere from ₹6 to ₹9 per minute for a 30kW+ charger.So, for a 45 kWh Curvv EV battery, a full charge on an AC point could cost between ₹540 to ₹810, while a DC fast charge from 10-80% might take 45 minutes and cost around ₹270 to ₹400. It's more expensive than home charging, but you're paying for the speed and convenience on long trips.

Right now, Tata has officially showcased the Curvv EV in a signature blue shade with contrast accents. However, reports say they’ll offer at least 4–5 color choices at launch. Expect shades like White, Silver, Grey, and Red along with the unique EV Blue. Tata usually brings in dual-tone roof options too, which adds to the sporty vibe.

The Tata Curvv EV comes in a solid lineup of colors that really pop with its coupe-SUV vibe. You've got six options: Virtual Sunrise (that fiery orange-red), Flame Red for the bold heads, Pristine White if you're keeping it clean and classic, Pure Grey for a sleek, modern look, Empowered Oxide (deep maroon-ish), and Carbon Black to go all stealth mode. I test-drove the Virtual Sunrise one—turns heads everywhere. Depends on your style, but they all get the same premium finish. Check out Tata's site for swatches: Tata Curvv EV Colors.

Unique designs? Absolutely, the Curvv EV's lamps set it apart. Front: Asymmetrical split headlamps with infinity DRL loops up top and matrix LED lows—edgy and efficient. Tails: C-shaped connected LEDs with 3D effect, pulsing on brake for safety. Love how it ties into the aerodynamic lines. Spotted one on the highway; impossible to miss. Tata's evolving big time with these touches.

I'm a bit of a design nut, and the Curvv's lights are a masterclass. The front doesn't have conventional headlamps placed low down. Instead, the main lighting units are vertically stacked in the bumper, while the thin strip on the bonnet line acts as the DRL and turn indicator. This creates a very clean and aggressive front-end look. The rear connected taillight is complemented by a steeply raked rear window, giving it that classic "coupe" silhouette. It's one of the most distinct designs on Indian roads already, and it's not even officially out! You can see some great close-up shots in this autoevolution article: Tata Curvv EV Detailed Look.
