Evolve To Electric FAQs

As an electric car company in India, we see both electric vehicle (EV) technology and EV customers evolving. A few years ago, EV customers were early adopters of this new technology, but now EVs are increasingly becoming common and are actively considered viable products. In India, Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Limited is poised to lead this evolution of inducting EVs into mainstream mobility and is consolidating their EV products under one inspiring message: EVOLVE TO ELECTRIC.

More and more customers are actively evaluating EVs as a viable opportunity, not only because of their low cost of operations but also because:

• EVs represent the latest technology
• EVs offer a superior drive quality
• EVs offer uncompromised safety
• EVs offer a comfortable and refined experience
• EVs offer attractive incentives from the government
• EVs have an ever-expanding infrastructure that enables long distance commutes

You shouldn’t. At present, the charging infrastructure is growing. Currently, there are more than 600 charging stations across 100+ cities in the country and this network is rapidly expanding.

Our EVs are powered by Ziptron technology. This means that it can charge from 0% to 80% in about an hour when being fast charged and about eight to nine hours through the regular charging option using any 15 ampere plug point. The great part about this is, you can charge your car at a charging station or at home or at work as well!

As an electric car company in India, we understand your apprehension about a new kind of powertrain. Ziptron EV architecture has been driven and proven over 35 million kilometers across India and is designed keeping in mind the extreme Indian weather conditions. That being said, the battery pack and motor used in our electric vehicles is IP67 certified which makes it weather and worry proof. In fact, our electric vehicle battery technology is so advanced that the battery pack comes with an impact resistant casing that meets AIS – 048 standards (nail penetration at cell level). Furthermore, dual airbags, ABS with EBD and CSC are the standard safety features across variants.

The ZConnect app is what puts you in touch with your vehicle at any given time. It has more than 30 features that range from locating your car to locating the nearest charging station to learning about its health and what needs to be fixed. We could list the features, but we’ll let you try it out for yourself.

EVs have been present in India for over one and half decade. Given the options available, EVs were perceived as non-aspirational, expensive, low performance, slow moving machines which could only be used sparingly for leisure driving. Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Limited learnt that in order for potential buyers to even consider an EV, the abovementioned myths need to be busted. Additionally, it was important that Indian made electric cars were safe by ensuring that the right technology choices were made to suit Indian road conditions. These choices included liquid cooled batteries, high voltage systems and extensive testing.
Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Limited’ Ziptron EV architecture is designed keeping in mind the needs of an evolving EV customer. The early EVs in India were low voltage solutions. Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Limited sought to create an EV where the customer didn’t have to compromise. And so a practical, high voltage EV architecture was born – Ziptron.
Ziptron EV architecture is a state-of-the art high voltage EV technology designed for extreme Indian weather conditions and the challenging Indian terrain. It deploys unique software strategies perfected over millions of kilometers to extract maximum energy from the battery that is used in the electric vehicle. The high energy lithium-ion battery pack is liquid cooled to ensure stable operations over varied temperature ranges. Its Permanent Magnet Synchronous AC Motor delivers instant torque balancing performance with efficiency.
