Tata Motors sets 12 month deadline for EV option

Even thought it is busy in meeting its deadlines to get the world’s cheapest car into production, Tata is currently working on five prototypes of electric vehicles. The vehicle is supposed to be initially assembled in Norway. India’s only other electric car maker Reva has sold 2,500 units, including 1,000 in the UK, and is hiking capacity to 30,000 units by December from 6,000. Tata will use its Indica platform for the development of its electric car instead of the $2500 Nano.

With lithium-ion batteries and an approximate range of 200 kilometers, its still unclear if the EV- version Indica is a full-size highway-ready car, but Tata hasn’t said whether the Indica-based EV will also be full-sized or an NEV (neighborhood electric vehicle), or given price signals.
