We had reported earlier that the Delhi Government had planned to delist the Tata Nexon from the list of electric vehicles on which it offers subsidies to the customers. This happened following a complaint by the EV owner. This complaint stated that he was not able to get the range from his car that the manufacturer had claimed. Tata Motors, in response to this complaint, said that the range of an electric car is dependent on various factors including driving mannerisms, AC usage, etc. Additionally, the ARAI (Automotive Research Association of India) is the independent body that tests all the mass production vehicles on various parameters including range and mileage. The figure of 312 km for Tata Nexon has been certified by ARAI. This is tested in the standard cycles and the real-world figures can still vary a bit. Let us take a look at what Delhi High Court had to say in the matter.
