Tata Tiago EV: current standby time
According to a dealer source, the current waiting time for the long-range Tiago EV is 4 months, while it is 5-6 months for the mid-range. Dealer sources tell us that ‘Tropical Mist’ and ‘Teal Blue’ are the most in-demand paint colors. Waiting period for Tigor tram on the other hand, sedan is about a month for private buyers.
The interesting thing is that Tiago EV is looking for customers beyond the usual urban beltand in states like Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar and Madya Pradesh – a new trend different from what is observed with Nexon electric car and Tigor EV. In fact, customers in these states are actually opting for the longer-range variant, but that may be due to a lack of charging infrastructure that is still sporadicly available in and around major cities.
