It comes with two battery pack choices – 25 kWh and 35 kWh – with claimed ranges of 315 km and 421 km respectively. Recently, we had the long-range variant (35 kWh) of the Punch EV with us, and we carried out a real-world charging check to see how lengthy it will take to high up the battery from empty.

Charger Used

While the long-range variant of the Tata Punch EV helps as much as 50 kW DC quick charging, we examined it at a 120 kW charging station. It’s necessary to notice that the EV will solely cost on the charging velocity for which it’s rated or designed. Here’s the results of the charging check:

State Of Charge	Charging Rate	Time Taken
1 – 10 p.c	18 kW (until 5 p.c), 25 KW	8 minutes
10 – 20 p.c	25 kW	8 minutes
20 – 30 p.c	25 kW	8 minutes

70- 80 p.c	25 kW	8 minutes
80 – 90 p.c	25 kW	8 minutes
90 – 95 p.c	25 kW	6 minutes

Key Takeaways

We plugged within the Tata Punch EV when it was at 0 p.c state of cost (SOC) as indicated on the digital driver’s show. Initially, the charging charge was 18 kW for the primary 5 p.c, then it elevated to 25 kW. The Punch EV continued to cost at this charge till it reached 95 p.c.

The charger was disconnected at 95 p.c SOC. It took the Punch EV a complete of 78 minutes to cost from 1 p.c to 95 p.c, i.e., greater than 1 hour.
After reaching 95 p.c, the charging charge dropped once more to 18 kW, and it was prone to drop additional for the final 5 p.c of charging and was anticipated to take round 15 to twenty minutes.
Taking all the things into consideration, we count on the full charging time to cost the Punch EV from 1 to one hundred pc to be greater than 1.5 hours.
For reference, the claimed charging time for the long-range variant of the Punch EV (from 10 to 80 p.c) utilizing the DC quick charger is 56 minutes. In our charging check, it took the identical period of time to succeed in 80 p.c from 10 p.c SOC.

Why Is Charging Speed Reduced?

The major cause charging velocity reduces for many EVs after reaching 80 or 90 p.c is as a result of the battery pack begins to warmth up, which isn’t good for the battery’s well being. To stop overheating and harm, the charging velocity decreases because the EV reaches a better state of cost. This is probably why EV-makers will advocate you to maintain the automotive’s SOC within the optimum vary of 10 to 90 p.c, and keep away from letting the battery drain to 0 p.c or all the time charging it to a full one hundred pc. Some EVs, like smartphones, even have a setting that means that you can management what battery stage the EV ought to cease charging when plugged in in a single day.
