The Tata Tiago is a popular electric vehicle (EV) that has gained a lot of attention in the automotive market. Sipradi Trading Pvt. Ltd., the authorized distributor of Tata vehicles in Nepal, is all set to launch the new all-electric Tiago EV in Nepal. Tata will open bookings for the Tiago EV in the coming days with deliveries to commence from February 2023. Once launched in Nepal, the Tiago EV will be the most affordable electric car in Nepal. Not only is it a stylish and affordable option, but it also has a range of features that make it an appealing choice for eco-conscious consumers.

The Tata Tiago EV delivers smooth and responsive acceleration in terms of performance. It comes with a choice of two battery packs that include 19.2kWh and 24kWh battery options, paired with an electric motor.

Charging the battery is easy, too - you can use a standard household outlet or a faster Level 2 charger to get back on the road in no time. The Tiago EV supports four charging options: a 15A socket charger, a 3.3kW AC charger, a 7.2kW AC charger, and a DC fast charger. The charging periods for both batteries include:
