Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Ltd (TPEM), a subsidiary of Tata Motors, has set a new benchmark in the electric vehicle (EV) landscape with the launch of Punch.ev. This revolutionary vehicle, powered by the advanced Pure EV architecture – acti.ev, is positioned to redefine the electric mobility experience in India.
Priced competitively at an introductory starting point of Rs 10.99 lakh, the Punch.ev is available in three dynamic variants – Smart, Adventure, and Empowered. It maintains a design and silhouette reminiscent of its conventional counterpart, showcasing an upright stance that combines style with substance.
The Punch.ev boasts exceptional range options, offering two battery pack choices – a 25 kWh pack with an MIDC range of 315 km and a larger 35 kWh option with an MIDC range of 421 km. These options are paired with two e-Drive configurations: a 60kW Permanent Magnet Synchronous AC Motor delivering 114Nm and a more potent 90kW Permanent Magnet Synchronous AC Motor generating 190Nm of torque.
Charging convenience is a priority for Punch.ev owners. The vehicle offers Long Range (LR) variants with optional 3.3kW and 7.2 kW AC fast chargers that can be installed at home or the workplace. Equipped with DC Fast Charging capability, it achieves an impressive 10% to 80% charge in just 56 minutes from any 50 kW DC fast charger.
Inside the cabin, the Punch.ev delivers a high-tech experience, featuring dual screens – a 26cm high-definition infotainment display by HARMAN and a 26cm digital cockpit. Connectivity is seamless with integration of multiple voice assistants, including the Native “Hey Tata” assistant with over 200 commands in six languages, Alexa, Siri for Apple users, and Google Assistant for Android users.
The connected car experience is further enhanced with the ZConnect Connected Car Technology, offering smartwatch connectivity as a standard feature. Noteworthy features like a smart charging indicator, bi-functional LEDs, and a distinctive welcome and goodbye signature contribute to making the Punch.ev a trailblazer in the Indian EV market.
As Tata Passenger Electric Mobility makes a significant stride with the Punch.ev, it not only reaffirms Tata Motors’ commitment to sustainable mobility but also ushers in a new era of electric vehicles that seamlessly blend performance, range, and cutting-edge technology. The Punch.ev is poised to leave an indelible mark on the evolving landscape of electric mobility in India.
