The 19.2kWh model churns out 61hp and 110Nm of output while the bigger 24kWh battery can pump up to 74hp and 114Nm.
Tata Tiago EV offers an MIDC-claimed range of 250km for the smaller battery unit while the 24kWh unit can go up to 315km on a single charge. Tata claims that models with the larger battery can accelerate from 0 to 60kmph in 5.7 seconds, while the smaller battery model takes 6.2 seconds to reach this milestone.
Battery Charging
Both the battery pack in Tiago EV are claimed to charge from 10% to 80% in 57 minutes with a 50kW DC fast charger.
