Please Take My Car Back: Frustrated Nexon EV owner wants to return her car to Tata Motors

The use of electric vehicles is being encouraged as it leads to a cleaner environment. But, Indian customers who dive headfirst into the EV realm are facing trouble. A frustrated Tata Nexon EV owner Carmelita Fernandes has asked the company to take her car back.

More and more Indian EV owners are facing trouble. This includes Tata Motors’ Nexon EV and other electric vehicles. India’s electric car sector is new and needs charging infrastructure. Tata Nexon EV owner Carmelita Fernandes recently voiced her complains on social media.

She tweeted about her Nexon EV nightmare. She begged Tata Motors to collect her car in a last-ditch attempt. Why did Nexon EV owner say that? Let’s assess.

Tata, India’s biggest EV maker, is used to this. Maruti Suzuki sells more automobiles than its rivals, which may explain its higher collision rate. Probability matters. This section covers all electric cars.

Carmelita Fernandes complained about her Nexon EV on social media. She tweeted about her Nexon EV troubles. She spoke about her two Mumbai-Pune trips. Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport to Pune is 160 kilometers.

According to the manufacturer, a fully charged Nexon EV Prime can go 312 kilometers. Lonavala’s high inclines deplete electric car batteries, which don’t completely recover on drops. Pune mandates topping up. According to reports, India’s charging infrastructure is young and charging stations often disappoint.

Carmelita Fernandes reports Turbhe and Food Mall charging stations did not operate. Rudra Motors in Wagholi, Pune, replaced her warranty-covered battery. Tata’s ZConnect Support hasn’t helped Carmelita, and the company’s 18008332233 toll-free line doesn’t work.

Despite monthly electric vehicle sales exceeding 5,000, charging infrastructure expansion is slow. According to studies, electric cars (EVs) are yet to acquire traction in India outside tier 1 and tier 2 cities. Plan ahead for interstate journeys and lengthy travels.

Even with careful preparation and personal verification of all charging stations along a trip, there is no guarantee they will work with a low charge. Weather or a difficult charging station may be the problem. The person lamented that they would always be stuck and never have a near call.

India has 28 long-range electric automobiles, but the charging infrastructure is insufficient. Mid-2023 Indian EV buyers should investigate their new car’s use cases. This is ideal for city commuters and recreational long-distance drivers within 100 km.

It’s suggested for secondary or tertiary electric car owners. ICE automobiles are still valuable despite electric vehicle growth. Traditional parallel hybrid PHEVs are appropriate for developing markets like India. Flexible and eco-friendly commuters now have a new alternative. This unique car has a small, manually recharged battery and engine for short travels. A combustion engine is offered for longer trips. No mainstream hybrids.
