What Is Tata Motors Gen-2 EV Platform?
After achieving tremendous success with their gen-1 EVs, Tata Motors decided to go ahead with the R&D investments for the gen-2 EV platform. This time around, instead of starting with an internal combustion engine platform and transforming it into an EV, Tata decided to develop the platform for dual-compatibility from day 1. This means, there are no modifications required to the platform to make it EV compatible.
In fact, Tata have confirmed that they will launch the electric version on the gen-2 platform first and then the petrol/diesel models. For gen-2 EVs, Tata officials have confirmed that these cars will have longer range and faster charging capabilities. So, you should expect 500km+ range and the ability to fast charge using a ~100kW - 150kW DC fast charger.
Advantages Of Tata’s Gen-2 EV Platform?
The most notable advantages of Tata Motors Gen-2 EV platform are as follows:
- Parallel R&D of platform for dual-compatibility (petrol/diesel and EV) from day 1
- No additional resources required to achieve EV compatibility
- Far lower R&D costs
- Longer range than gen-1 EVs (500km+ per charge)
- Faster charging capabilities than gen-1 EVs (~100kW - 150kW DC fast charger compatible)
- 4-wheel drive compatibility with dual-motor configuration
