Temperature Limits
Battery pack and vehicle can operate
safely in limits from 0°C to 50°C.
Battery Life And Maintenance
The Nexon EV comes with a battery life of
eight years or 160,000km warranty for the
battery, whichever is earlier. Regular serv-
ice of the vehicle and charging protocol to
be followed to maximize the battery life.
Energy Information
Nexon EV battery pack has a maximum
energy of 30.2kWh. Energy retention ca-
pacity
deteriorates over several cycles of
usage and hence range deterioration hap-
pens overtime.
This decrease in range during the end of
life of battery is expected and is not con-
sidered as a malfunction of the battery
pack. During these conditions, it is recom-
mended to contact an authorized service
center for inspection.
Brake Energy Recovery System
The Nexon EV features energy regenera-
tion system, which regenerates expended
energy during coasting or braking during
the drive. This system allows the battery
to be recharged under the above men-
tioned conditions.
Please note, the regeneration system
does not fully recharge the battery, it only
provides a chance to recover a portion of
energy that would be lost during braking.
When you release the accelerator or press
the brake pedal, energy flows from wheels
to high voltage battery, thereby charging it.
Regeneration is done by converting driv-
ing force (kinetic energy) into electrical
energy that is stored in
the Li-ion battery
while the vehicle is decelerating or being
driven downhill. This is called regenerative
braking.
Heavily Discharged High Voltage
System
In the case of a heavily discharged HV
battery, there is a chance that the low volt-
age battery is discharged as well. In this
case, please contact your nearest TATA
MOTORS EV service centre for further as-
sistance. Do not try to jump start the vehi-
cle or tow the vehicle without guidance
from the service assistant.
Heated High Voltage Battery
In such a condition, the battery has safety
logics to limit the performance or discon-
nect by itself with prior warning. The vehi-
cle should be stopped and allowed to cool
down and TATA MOTORS EV service cen-
tre must be contacted for rectification.
Be sure to read the warnings and •
cautions in the following sections
NOTE
To control the battery temperature of
the high voltage battery the air condi-
tioner is used to cool down the battery
and may switch on automatically with-
out request from control panel which
may generate noise from operation of
the air conditioner compressor and
cooling fan.
