The system supports fast charging and is IP67 rated, which is the highest available rating for water and dust resistance. What’s more, the battery pack will come with an 8-year warranty too. However, Tata says that the odds of something going wrong are quite low as it has tested this technology for more than a million kilometres already.
While Tata Motors has not revealed which of its models will feature the Ziptron EV tech, we believe that the upcoming Altroz EV hatchback will likely be the first to use it. The car was revealed at the Geneva Motor Show that was held earlier in the year. It is based on the regular Altroz premium hatchback which is set to be launched in India by November 2019.
