Tata Sierra EV Real-World (C75) Range Figures Revealed

Social media may have led you to believe the Tata Sierra EV could have a range exceeding an astonishing 700 kilometres, but here comes the news you really need to know. Tata Motors has revealed the real-world range figures at the launch of the Sierra EV, which will be offered with a 63 kWh battery and a 75 kWh battery. On Tata's own C75 scale – designed to represent actual use by 75 per cent customers – the Sierra EV 63 kWh will deliver a range of somewhere between 440 to 460 kilometres, and the Sierra EV 75 kWh will provide a range of somewhere between 510 to 530 kilometres. The MIDC range stands at 565 kilometres and 665 kilometres for the 63 kWh and 75 kWh variants respectively.

Tata says customers will be able to plug the Sierra EV into a regular 3.3 kW wall charger, a 7.2 kW home charger, and the Sierra EV can also accept up to 120 kW of peak DC fast-charging.

When plugged into a DC fast-charger, the Sierra EV, claims Tata, can go from 20 per cent to 80 per cent charge in just 26 minutes, as it charges at 1.6C. A 15-minute charge is said to be sufficient to regain a real-world range of close to 200 kilometres.

The Sierra EV also features vehicle-to-load charging (up to 3.3 kW) as well as vehicle-to-vehicle charging (up to 5 kW), so if you own an EV and are forgetful about charging, it may be a good idea to make friends with a Sierra EV owner… or convince a friend to buy a Sierra EV.

The Sierra EV has been launched at a starting price of Rs 18.79 lakh, which goes all the way up to Rs 26 lakh for the top-spec, dual-motor QWD variant (ex-showroom), and doesn't include the cost of the 7.2 kW AC home charger, which costs an additional Rs 49,000.
