2020 TOYOTA RAV4

Image
Right about the time I’d passed 30 miles of all-electric driving with the RAV4 Prime plug-in hybrid, I knew this experience was going to be different. There was plenty of charge left.  With an expected EPA-rated 42-mile range from a big 18.1-kwh battery pack, the RAV4 Prime promises to transport commuters to work and back again without tailpipe emissions or the need to find another charge along the way. And then it becomes a 38-mpg hybrid after running through the charge, That and the Prime's suggested availability across the U.S., not just in California or a few select states, means it picks up right where the Chevy Volt left off .  Even better, it is the hottest crossover in these crossover-crazy times. The RAV4 is not only the top-selling SUV in the U.S. market for three years; the RAV4 Hybrid was also the top-selling hybrid in America last year—handily outselling the Toyota Prius.  The Prime finally checks nearly all the tech and special-needs boxes....

Of course it will be varying according to the conditions that you are offering to the vehicle. 

While the company forays into the personal electric mobility segment with the Nexon EV, it also marks a shift in it's strategy from niche segments such as fleet and taxi to personal applications.
The Nexon EV will also be the first electric vehicle from the stable of Tata Motors to be powered by the in-house developed Ziptron technology, which is a modular electric powertrain platform comprising of permanent magnet AC motor and a dust and water proof, liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery system.

Nexon EV is powered by a 129 PS permanent magnet AC motor powered by a 30.2 kWh lithium ion battery. The company claims that the electric motor can produce 245 Nm of instant torque from standstill as the Nexon EV boasts of acceleration figures of 0-100 in 9.9 seconds. Of course it is far less then those offered by other leading companies but should get to see through the price tag also. So can be a good deal right. 
On the charging side, Nexon EV's battery can be charged up to 80% within 60 minutes when plugged into a fast DC charger. And that will be an  added advantage. The EV can also be charged using a regular 15-ampere socket, which would account for a longer charging duration.
