With the automatic, depending on the variant, you’ll have to cover 1.21 lakh to 1.34 lakh km with the Tata Nexon EV Max to recover the extra price you pay upfront over the Nexon petrol.
Should You Buy Tata Nexon Petrol Or EV Max?
The Nexon EV Max costs Rs. 6.10 lakh to Rs. 6.80 lakh more than equivalent variants of the Nexon petrol. That’s a massive price difference one cannot ignore. However, the Nexon EV Max promises to save you a substantial Rs. 5.0 for every kilometre you drive. Since EVs have fewer wear and tear parts, you stand to save even more with lower maintenance costs.
The kilometre-to-breakeven figure of 1.20 lakh kilometres doesn’t seem reasonable. However, the EV Max has a much better range than the regular Nexon EV. So, you could use it as your primary car. If you are considering buying the electric Nexon, then we highly recommend getting the EV Max instead of the normal Nexon EV. The EV Max gets a bigger battery along with a few extra features over the Nexon EV. The advantages more than justify the price gap between the NExon EV and EV Max.
