Tata.ev, India’s premier electric vehicle manufacturer, has launched its electric vehicle lineup in Mauritius, collaborating with Allied Motors for sales and after-sales services. This marks Tata Motors’ first expansion beyond the SAARC region, targeting a market increasingly focused on sustainable mobility and cleaner transportation solutions amid government initiatives aimed at promoting eco-friendly practices.

The newly introduced models include Tiago.ev, Punch.ev, and Nexon.ev, catering to various customer needs while utilizing Tata’s established EV technology.

The Tiago.ev, a compact hatchback ideal for urban commuting, features a 24kWh battery providing a practical range of 190-210 km. It is equipped with a lively motor and multi-mode regenerative braking, allowing for swift charging from 10% to 80% in merely 58 minutes.

The Punch.ev, an electric compact SUV, is outfitted with a 35kWh battery that delivers a 270-290 km range. It boasts a 90 kW motor generating 190 Nm of torque, alongside premium features such as a 26.03 cm infotainment system and wireless smartphone connectivity, enhancing its appeal.

The flagship Nexon.ev features a larger 45kWh battery with a remarkable range of 350-375 km. With a robust 106kW motor providing 215 Nm torque, it achieves 0-100 km/h in just 8.9 seconds. It offers luxury features including a JBL 8-speaker system, 360° camera, and DC fast charging, which can recharge 10-80% in 40 minutes. Each model includes an impressive 8-year/160,000 km warranty on the battery and motor, and complimentary home charging wall box is included with the purchase.

Despite a developing market, Mauritius already features electric vehicles from other brands such as BYD, MG, and Nissan. Tata.ev’s models will compete against the BYD Dolphin, MG ZS EV, and Nissan Leaf, leveraging competitive pricing and Tata’s reliable reputation to potentially disrupt current market leaders.

Tata.ev’s venture into the international market signifies a bold step forward, with plans for broader electrification in Mauritius. As they provide well-equipped EVs and reliable support from Allied Motors, the anticipation remains as to whether the Mauritian populace will embrace these innovative vehicles or continue their preference for traditional combustion engines. The future will unfold as more charging stations become available.

Tata.ev’s entry into the Mauritian electric vehicle market marks a significant milestone, expanding its reach beyond the SAARC region. By introducing Tiago.ev, Punch.ev, and Nexon.ev, Tata not only aims to comply with Mauritius’ eco-friendly initiatives but also seeks to challenge existing brands in the market. With competitive offerings and robust support from Allied Motors, the future of Tata’s electric vehicles in Mauritius looks promising, leaving stakeholders eager to see consumer response in this developing market.
