Shortcoming

1. While the Tigor EV claims to offer a range of 306 km in the real world, the car is likely to offer a range of less than 210 km. Less if you constantly drive in sport mode.

2. The steering is a bit light, and we wish it provided better feedback.

3. Despite its 4-star safety rating, it is disappointing that Tata is offering a lap belt only for the rear middle passenger. You also don’t get ESC (Electronic Stability Control).

4. While a public DC fast charger can top-up the battery from 0 to 80 percent in less than 1 hour, a regular AC home charger will take more than 8.5 hours to achieve the same. So keep that in mind.

5. While there is more emphasis on electric vehicles, the charging infrastructure in India is still not adequate. So, the Tigor EV may not be suitable for long distance travel, unless you do proper planning.
