India’s favorite budget car is back as an electric vehicle with modern features and amazing performance.
Nano Goes Electric with a Fancy Upgrade
Tata Motors is set to bring back its game-changing small car, the Tata Nano, as an electric model with a sleek, modern design. Once called the “people’s car,” the new Tata Nano EV is far from basic. Known as the “Lakhtakia” (one-lakh) car for its original low price, this version has a complete makeover and targets city drivers in the growing EV market.
Unlike the simple older model, the Tata Nano EV is expected to have a sporty, sharp look with bold curves, LED lights, and a fancier interior. It’s not just about low cost anymore—it’s about mixing style, efficiency, and eco-friendliness in a small package.
Amazing Range and Modern Tech
The Nano EV’s standout feature is its claimed range. Tata Motors is likely to give it an advanced battery pack with a range of up to 650 kilometers on one charge—a huge number for a small city car. This could make it one of the longest-range electric vehicles in its class, even beating some bigger models.
Here’s a quick look at expected details:
| Feature | Details (Expected) |
|---|---|
| Battery Capacity | 35-40 kWh (Lithium-ion) |
| Claimed Range | Up to 650 KM per charge |
| Charging Time (Fast) | 1-1.5 Hours |
| Charging Time (Standard) | 6-7 Hours |
| Top Speed | Around 100 km/h |
| Seating Capacity | 4 Adults |
| Infotainment System | Touchscreen with connectivity |
Smart Features in a Tiny Package
The Nano EV may be small, but it’s expected to be packed with smart tech and practical features city drivers will love. Tata Motors is likely to add connectivity and convenience options that match the latest EV trends.
Expected features include:
- Touchscreen infotainment with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
- Regenerative braking for better efficiency
- Two-tone premium interiors with good legroom
- Rear-view camera and parking sensors
- Keyless entry and push-button start
- Multiple driving modes for city and highway
Made for the City, Built for the Future
Tata’s Nano EV relaunch is part of its plan to grow its electric lineup, alongside the Nexon EV and Tiago EV. This time, the Nano EV aims to shine not just as a cheap EV but as a smart, stylish, and practical choice for young professionals, students, and city families.
Its small size is perfect for city traffic, tight parking, and daily commutes—while the long range makes it more than just a short-trip car.
Launch Date and Price Guess
Tata Motors is expected to reveal the Nano EV by early 2026, with test models already seen in development. The price is likely to be budget-friendly, starting around ₹5 to ₹6.5 lakh (ex-showroom), making it one of India’s most affordable EVs with a great range.
If Tata delivers on its promise of low price, long range, and cool design, the Nano EV could shake up India’s fast-growing electric vehicle market—bringing back a legendary name in a bold new way.
