'Bizarre discovery': Car found buried under homeowner's lawn in California. See what happened

Tata has launched Tiago EV with introductory prices for first 10,000 customers ranging between Rs 8.49-11.79 lakh

This is the Indian automaker's third electric vehicle, with the Nexon and Tigor both getting electric versions.

The hatchback comes with two distinct battery set-ups, driving modes and connected car telematics across the trims. One with 25 KW battery pack - with a driving range of 315 km - and one with a 19.2 kg battery pack that delivers an estimated range of 250 km.

The Tiago EV gets EV-specific design touches, with the grille now closed up with the portion near the headlamps featuring tri-arrow patterning. The front bumper gets tri-arrow patterning for the central air-vent – also a design element shared with the Tigor EV.

Bookings for the model will open on October 10 and deliveries are expected to commence from January next year.

Tata announced that 2,000 units of the new car will be reserved for the current owners of Nexon EV and Tigor EV.

Having set a 50,000 units sale target this year, Tata is scaling up its electric sales network to 165 cities from 90 locations currently.

"By the end of this decade, the government expects electric passenger vehicle sales to account for 30 per cent of the overall sales. We will be above that," Chandra said.
