It all comes down to pricing. Hyundai will attract a lot of budget conscious buyers if they can undercut the Punch a little.

But we forget that the Ai3 will most likely be better fit and finish than the Punch. That’s important to a lot of buyers.

One reason for the Punch's success is that it lacks strong competitors. The Ai3 doesn’t have to be better, it just has to be good enough to be a viable alternative.
Is the real world range of the Tata Punch EV a deal breaker?

If you know what you’re getting into, it’s not a deal breaker. In reality, most EVs don’t attain their advertised range. But if you're just using it for city commutes, 200-250 km is more than enough for a week of driving.

I'd say it is a deal-breaker. Tata shouldn't be permitted to advertise such inflated numbers. It’s misleading and can leave new EV owners stranded. They should test using a more realistic method.

The range is okay, but Tata needs to be more transparent with real world expectations. They might be able to give a range of what performance they expect with different driving conditions.

That's all about managing expectations. If you have an ICE vehicle, you have to change your way of thinking. If you plan your trips and use regen braking effectively you'll be amazed how far you can go.

Tata’s after sales service may be the deal breaker though, not the range itself. The bigger concern than the range discrepancy is if they can't fix charging issues quickly.
Is the Tata Punch EV plagued with quality control issues or are they just teething problems?

This is definitely teething problems. There are always going to be issues with every new model, particularly a new EV platform. That's a good sign, Tata's been pretty quick to address them.

I think there are more serious problems than just teething problems. Safety concerns include charging failures and shutdowns. This was rushed to market without proper testing by Tata.

It's a mix of both. Some are minor, but there are others that point to poor quality control. If Tata wants to compete in the EV market, they have to step up their game.

Early reports shouldn’t be judged too harshly. We get to amplify all of that negativity online. We shouldn’t jump to conclusions until more long term reviews.

It’s unfair to compare Tata to international brands that have decades of EV experience behind them, I think. They are learning and getting better quickly.
Is the Tata Punch EV plagued with quality control issues or are they just teething problems?

If you think of the long term savings on fuel and maintenance, the price is justified. Also, you’re getting the latest EV tech in a small package.
Does the Tata Punch EV price justify its features and competition?

It’s really overpriced for what it is. For the same money, you can get a much better equipped ICE SUV. It’s too expensive right now.

24 December 2024 12:49
It’s a fair price considering it’s based on a dedicated EV platform. It doesn't just convert an ICE vehicle like some of the competitors.

I think it's well priced for the early adopters, but Tata would have to bring the cost down to actually drive EV adoption in India.

It looks expensive now, but as battery costs tumble and production scales up, it will make more sense. Early adopters always pay a premium.
