With the launch of Tiago EV, Tata Motors is scaling up its electric sales network in the country to 165 cities from 90 locations currently to cater to expect increase in demand.
Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Managing Director Shailesh Chandra said the auto major is deploying a three-pronged architecture approach for electric vehicles to come up with a portfolio of ten products in five years.
Tata will have products based out of its existing nameplates as well as all new ground-up models to cater to changing requirements of customers, Shailesh Chandra added.
Shailesh Chandra Said :
“We will have a portfolio of products starting from Tiago EV and also go beyond Nexon, so we will have these ten products at different price points,”.
There might be an electric product between Tiago and Nexon as well, Shailesh Chandra hint.
“Everything will come in a space of say one to two products every year,”.
“Having pioneered the EV market in India, we now believe that it is the right time to fast forward the ongoing revolution towards the future of mobility by introducing vehicles which will encourage rapid adoption of EVs,”.
Currently, Nexon EV sales stand at 3,000-3,500 units per month while Tigor EV dispatches are in the range of 1,000-13,00 units, roughly accounting for 20-25% of the overall sales across both brands.
Tata may also look at separate service network for the electric models going ahead.
