In the month of February, Tata’s Nexon EV has led the charts to be the most sold electric car in India. This was despite of a YoY decline of 14.6 percent in sales after the company managed to sell 427 units of the car last month as against the 500 it sold in the same month last year. Trailing the second position was MG ZS EV with 204 units. In a recent turn of events, following a complaint by a Tata Nexon EV owner filed almost a week ago, the Delhi government has decided to suspend additional subsidy given under its Delhi EV Policy to Tata Nexon EV XZ+ electric SUV.
Kailash Gahlot, Delhi Transport Minister took on to Twitter to announce the delisting of the car after receiving complaints from an owner of the said model. The owner, in his complaint, said that despite the company claiming a mileage of 312 km on a single charge, he barely got more than 200 km.
The complainant said he also went to Tata dealerships multiple times to get the issue resolved but to no avail. He finally resorted to sending a complaint to Delhi govt as he bought the vehicle under the EV policy of the Delhi government. The Delhi government had also issued a showcause notice to Tata Motors and sought its reply in the matter.
