The Ultimate Kashmir to Kanyakumari (K2K) challenge
Tata Motors has geared up for the ultimate challenge. Under this challenge, the Nexon EV will embark its arduous journey from Kashmir in the north to Kanyakumari in the south. This ambitious feat will be the ultimate test of the Nexon EV’s capabilities and endurance, showcasing the potential of sustainable mobility in India. The Kashmir to Kanyakumari challenge is a well-known endurance test that spans the length of the country, covering over 4,000 kilometers in a duration of 4 days. The challenge involves driving through various terrains, including mountainous regions, highways, and rural areas, with the harsh conditions of climate. For an electric vehicle, this challenge depicts a unique set of obstacles, including the availability of robust charging infrastructure and the range anxiety that comes with covering such long distances on a single charge.
