The Tata Nexon EV MAX will sit parallel to the current generation of Tata Nexon EV and will offer up a longer range alternative to buyers with such kind of a requirement. The Nexon EV MAX aims to deliver an ARAI-certified range of about 437km on a single charge thanks to its 33 percent larger battery pack. The vehicle ditches the 30.2kWh battery pack in favour of a liquid-cooled 40.5kWh battery pack.
The Tata Nexon EV MAX now also gets multi-mode regenerative braking that enables users to set the intensity of brake energy cooperation. The highest level of the regen allows single-pedal driving and also features brake light activation to alert rear traffic. The car also features quicker charging with a new optional 7.2kW AC fast charger that can be purchased along with the car. This will provide faster charging as compared to the normal 3.3kW charger. Moreover, the car can be charged from 0-80 percent at around 56 minutes using a public 50kW fast charger.
The Tata Nexon EV MAX also boasts of a more powerful and more efficient Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor that is capable of delivering a peak power of 105kW or 143PS and a peak torque of 250Nm. Tata Motors claims that the Nexon EV MAX can sprint from a standstill to 100kmph in under 9 seconds. The top speed has also seen a bump with the top speed now being electronically limited at 140kmph.
