Tata Sells 20,000 Of Its $10,000 Tiago EVs In Just 2 Months

Over the past 10 years or so, a lot of new energy vehicle startups, and also legacy OEMs, have followed the same formula of starting with top of the range ($70,000 plus) electric vehicles and then moving slowly to develop lower priced versions. The majority of car buyers can’t afford those kinds of vehicles. The good news is that truly affordable electric vehicles that meet most people’s needs are finally starting to arrive now in some markets around the world — and one of them is the Tata Tiago.

The critically acclaimed MG4 is an example of these EVs. The MG4 is now available in several countries in Europe. In the United Kingdom, the MG4 EV SE Standard Range starts at ￡25,995, the SE Long Range ￡28,495, and the Trophy Long Range ￡31,495. ￡25,995 is very impressive when you compare it with vehicles in a similar class, and not just on the EV side, but also on the ICE side!

Hatchbacks like the MG4 are in a class of vehicles that are very popular in Europe and in many other places. Smaller hatchbacks such as the Ford Fiesta are even more popular. They are cheap and are a good fit for a lot of people’s needs. Tata in India makes similarly sized small hatchbacks such as the Tata Tiago. The good news is that Tata has now launched an all-electric version of the Tata Tiago and it starts from just $10,000 in India. This price is almost at parity with the ICE version. The $10,000 model comes with a 19.2 kWh battery and 3.2 kW on board charger. Tata says this version has a range of 250 kilometers. A 24 kWh battery version with 315 kilometers of range and a 7.2 kW charger starts from $14,500.
