A Tata Nexon EV Prime Owner has grabbed attention after revealing he has travelled a whopping 1,62,000 kilometres on his vehicle without changing his stock tyres. While performance-oriented electric cars tend to wear out their tyres more quickly than ICE vehicles, this EV owner’s case has raised eyebrows, as he highlighted that his EV has managed to utilise the factory set of tyres for a long time.
In a YouTube video shared by Kaushik Vlogs on their channel, a Tata Nexon EV Prime owner revealed he has not gone through a single tyre change on his EV while enjoying an amazing performance output. After the video started with the vlogger introducing Tata Nexon EV Prime and its owner, the person explained how he got so much mileage out of it with simple but effective management practices, based on care and gentle acceleration and braking. With their high torque, these tyres can easily spin and quickly endure damage to their rubber. However, this EV owner managed to pull what many would deem impossible.
When asked by the vlogger about the purchase date and pricing of the vehicle, the Tata Nexon EV Prime owner replied that the SUV was bought in 2021 at Rs 16.4 lakhs. The owner also revealed there was a subsidy on offer, which he was never truly given. Noticing the amount of mileage on the odometer, the host duly asked the man about his daily commute. To which he replied, he has to drive around 200 km per day from Delhi, Noida, to Chandigarh because of his marketing job.
Later on, the vlogger asked about the range and charging time of the Nexon EV Prime. The owner said the range is about 250+ km in winter and rainy season when driving the car at around 55–60 kmph. However, the range drops in the summer due to the heat. Talking of the charging speed, the man said he has a charger installed in a parking space in his basement. Using the 3.3 kW home charger, the charging speed is around 10 hours for a full charge. He also revealed that the service cost during the warranty period was Rs 800-1200, which has since risen to Rs 1,500 to Rs 2,000.
