Tata displays Nano EV at Geneva Motor Show!

The Nano EV can accelerate well and has a 160km range thanks to L-Ion batteries

In a shocking incident, Tata Motors took the wraps of the Nano EV on the first day of the Geneva Motor Show.

Mr. Ravi Kant, Vice Chairman, Tata Motors -

Electrification will be an integral part of our initiative to launch environment-friendly vehicles. The Indica Vista EV will be introduced in select European countries, beginning this year. We will progressively introduce electric vehicles in all relevant markets.

The Tata Nano EV can seat four individuals comfortably. The range is specified as 160 km and an acceleration of 0-60 kmph in under 10 seconds is decent.

The Tata Nano EV uses super polymer lithium ion batteries just like the Tata Indica Vista EV.
