Buyers in the premium segment care a lot about electric vehicle range and charging speed. Tesla was impressive in the range figures they were able to achieve and the already well deployed Supercharger network. The Tata Avinya, which is being positioned as a flagship EV, will be pitted against Tesla and other high end electric cars. People have been speculating about how much range the Avinya will have and how it will fare on charging compared to the competition. On one side, there are those who say Tata must match or exceed Tesla’s range to be taken seriously, while others contend that the Indian market has different needs and expectations. Second, the charging infrastructure in India is not as developed as say in some Western countries. The question is whether Tata can match Tesla in these crucial areas, and if so, how that would affect the Avinya’s market success.
