Tata Curvv EV Real-World Range Test Analysis

The Curvv EV is positioned between Nexon EV and Harrier EV and stands out due to its unique coupe-inspired styling. It comes with an option of two battery packs to choose from: a smaller 45 kWh and substantial 55 kWh. We recently had a talk with the owner of Curvv EV (55 kWh), as he did a comprehensive range test to find the actual range.

According to the user’s range test, the Tata Curvv electric car battery range is between 350-360 km on a single charge which translates to an efficiency of 6.54 km/kWh. He also shared his analysis on the range-test with us. 

Tata Curvv EV Real World Range India (100% to 0%)

Tata Curvv expected range is around 400-425 Km as claimed by Tata under the C75 cycle. During the real-world range test, the owner told us that he kept the Curvv EV on ‘Eco’ mode completely, which limits the torque to 70% of total power and restricts the max speed at 120 km/hr. He also set the regenerative braking at Level 2 (Medium) for the city and Level 1 (Low) specifically for Highway drives.During the test, the user got an efficiency of 6.52 km/kWh on the highway and 6.75 km/kWh on city commutes, ensuring an overall efficiency of 6.64km/kWh. This results in a real world range of 365 Km (Approximately). 

Tata Curvv EV Charging Experience

Home Charging	Rapid Fast Chargers
11 kWh AC Charger (3 Hours to charge from 66-100%)	42%-80% in 20 Mins using 60 kW Chargers

According to Tata Motors, while using a rapid 70kW DC charger, the Curvv EV’s 55 kWh battery can be charged from 10-80% in just 40 minutes. However, when the user charged it via 60 kW DC charger, it charged from 42-80% in just 20 minutes and took around 40 minutes to go from 80-100%. 

The user also charged the 55 kWh battery with a 11 kWh AC charger and it took around 190 minutes (3 Hours 10 Minutes) to charge the battery from 66-100%.
