What is the driving range of the Tata Curvv EV on a full charge?
Officially, Tata Motors has claimed 500-550 km range for the Curvv EV based on MIDC testing standards. Now, as any EV owner will tell you, real-world range is what matters! In typical Indian conditions with AC running and mixed city-highway driving, you can realistically expect 400-450 km depending on your driving style. The larger battery pack (expected to be around 60 kWh) should give it decent range even with aggressive driving. The regenerative braking system with multiple levels will also help maximize range in city traffic.
From my experience with current Tata EVs and following the Curvv's development, the range figures look promising. The 500+ km claim is under ideal conditions, but here's what you can actually expect: City driving with moderate AC: ~420-460 km Highway driving at 80-100 kmph: ~380-420 km * Mixed conditions: ~400-450 kmThe key factor is the new Gen 2 architecture that's more efficient than Tata's current systems. I'd recommend waiting for independent range tests once the vehicle launches, but early indications suggest it should comfortably beat most competitors in its price range. EV database sites will have comparative numbers once it's officially launched.
