What is the expected maintenance cost of Tata Curvv EV?

EVs typically have significantly lower maintenance costs than ICE vehicles, and the Curvv EV should follow this trend. Based on current Tata EV service costs, expect:- Annual service cost: ₹5,000-8,000 for regular maintenance- Brake pads/shoes: Last much longer due to regen braking- No engine oil changes: Big saving right there- Fewer moving parts: Less to go wrongThe first 3 years might cost ₹15,000-20,000 total for scheduled maintenance if you take Tata's service packages. The big unknown is battery replacement costs after warranty, but that's typically after 8+ years. Overall, you could save 60-70% on maintenance compared to a similar petrol SUV over 5 years of ownership.

As a current Nexon EV owner, I can give you real maintenance numbers that should be similar for Curvv: First year service: ₹3,500 (mostly inspections and software updates) Second year: ₹4,200 (cabin filter, brake fluid check) Third year: ₹6,500 (slightly more comprehensive)That's about ₹14,200 for three years* - compare that to ₹35,000+ for a petrol SUV! The regen braking means brake pads last 80,000-100,000 km instead of 30,000-40,000 km. No spark plugs, fuel filters, timing belts, or oil changes. The main costs are tires, cabin filters, and brake fluid changes. It's not just slightly cheaper - it's dramatically cheaper to maintain. This alone can justify the higher upfront cost for many buyers.
