A Tata Curvv EV user has crossed 2 Lakh kilometers in just 17 months of purchase.
Sanjay, a Tata Curvv EV owner from Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan recently crossed 2 lakh kilometers in his electric vehicle. A daily travel of over 380+ kilometers from his home city to Delhi NCR highlights the reliability of the EV and his trust in the ecosystem.
Sanjay outlines that this is the original battery pack. At the time of service at 1.90 lakh kilometers, the battery SoH was 96%.
EV crtitics in India usually point that batteries will not be able to sustain life post 1.50 lakh kilometers due to extreme temperatures in the sub continent. It is often claimed that EVs lose 1% SoH every 15,000 to 20,000 kilometers. Sanjay's case proves that EVs can easily cross high numbers on odometer without losing much life.
Considering a range of 450 kms on the 55kWh battery of Tata Curvv EV, Sanjay would have completed 430-440 charging cycles on the LFP cells. LFP cells last for 2000 cycles before serious degradation. So he can still travel 6 lakh kilometers more before deciding to buy his next EV.
