Tata Motors is playing a proactive role in driving electric mobility in the country. To build a sustainable future for India, the company has been working collaboratively on various electric and hybrid vehicle solutions. The carmaker will build on that role by launching the Tata Nexon EV, which will make its debut in Q4 FY 19-20, powered by the carmaker’s recently introduced Ziptron technology. Ahead of the launch, to spread awareness which will attempt to cure range-anxiety among other such things associated with electric cars, Tata Motors has signed-up Milind Soman and Ankita Konwar to relay their experience as they drive around different terrains of India in a near-production ready, Nexon EV. A phase of their journey will see the two drive from Manali to Leh.
