When it comes to EVs, the most asked question is: “Kitna range deti hai?” Therefore, to find out, I recently tested my Tata Nexon EV 45 kWh on a real highway drive from Agra to Greater Noida. Moreover, I carefully noted battery percentage, distance covered, and even the energy consumption readings.
Here’s the full breakdown 👇
Route & Distance Covered
- Start Point: Agra
- End Point: Greater Noida
- Total Distance: 190 km
In fact, this route offered a good mix of smooth highways and mild traffic, which made the test more realistic.
Driving Conditions
- Mode: Eco
- Average Speed: 75–85 km/h
- AC: Always ON (set at 23°C)
- Driving Style: Soft foot (smooth acceleration + regen braking)
As a result, the drive closely reflected how most EV owners would use their car in real-world conditions.
Battery Consumption & Efficiency Breakdown
I monitored the trip at different checkpoints. Interestingly, the results showed very consistent performance.
🔹 100% → 75% Battery
- Distance Covered: 99.1 km
- Battery Used: 25%
- Average Energy Consumption (AEC): 116 Wh/km
- Efficiency: ~4 km per % battery
🔹 100% → 52% Battery (After 190 km)
- Total Battery Used: 48%
- Distance Driven: 190 km
- Average Energy Consumption (AEC): 117 Wh/km
- Efficiency: ~3.95 km per % battery
👉 Therefore, on a full charge (100%), the Nexon EV 45 kWh can easily deliver 380–390 km real-world range with AC running and highway speeds.
Why These Numbers Matter
First of all, even with AC always on, the efficiency remained stable (AEC 116 → 117 Wh/km).
Secondly, driving at a steady 75–85 km/h proved to be the sweet spot for balancing speed and efficiency.
Finally, smooth driving style + regen braking made a big difference in battery utilization.
Tips to Maximize Tata Nexon EV Range
- Use Eco Mode for highway runs.
- Maintain steady speeds (70–85 km/h).
- Keep AC at moderate levels (22–24°C).
- Accelerate gradually; avoid harsh throttle.
- Use regenerative braking effectively.
- Don’t push battery below 5% – instead, plan charging stops smartly.
Final Verdict
Overall, this real-world highway test proves that the Tata Nexon EV 45 kWh is capable of 380–390 km range under practical driving conditions.
✅ 99.1 km in first 25% battery
✅ 190 km driven with 52% battery still left
✅ AEC: 116 → 117 Wh/km (very consistent)
Therefore, for EV owners and buyers, long trips are stress-free as long as you plan charging stops wisely.
Hi harsh
I recently travelled to grater noida from Lucknow on 5 September and SOC was 100% from my house and I reached the charging station of Adani at Agra lucknow toll and it covered 313 km in 65 % of the battery and 35% was left ( i have clicked pic of this )at wh/Km was 96 to 98 wh/km .
After charging 98% at Adani I travelled to graternoida and the car reached ginger hotel at pari chauk in 47% battery covered 204.8 km at wh/Km of 115 .
I did not used cruse control ,maintained a speed of 70-78kmph and kept in City mode and and AC set at 24degree.
You maintained a good AEC and achieved an impressive range, that’s great! You didn’t mention the car – was it the Nexon EV? If yes, then getting around 450 km range is really amazing. Thank you for commenting and sharing your experience…

If you are planning a trip to Germany, Austria, or Switzerland, you need more than just “hello” and “thank you.” You need to understand the flow of the language. A short stories in German PDF can help you practice reading signs and menus, but stories help you practice thinking in German. The more you read, the faster you can process information. This speed is vital when you are traveling. Prepare for your travels by immersing yourself in the language before you even pack your bags.
