The base model or the cheapest version of the EV will offer a driving range of 250 kilometres on one charge, while a higher, more expensive version will offer a range of up to 315 kilometres on a single charge.
Currently, in India, Tata is the sole automaker with electric vehicles and the Tiago EV is likely to further solidify the Indian automaker's dominance in the country's electric car industry. As per Reuters, government subsidies and hefty tariffs that have prevented imports play a large part in Tata's success.

The operating cost of the Tiago EV is significantly less than its gasoline variant, with the former costing around INR 1,100 in charging costs to travel 1,000 kilometres or 621 miles, while the latter would use up approximately INR 7,500 worth of fuel for the same distance. This means that the EV's operating cost is about one-seventh of the gasoline model.
