COMPARISION

The NEXON EV will directly compete with HYUNDAI KONA Electric which launched in mid- 2019, while the other competitor is recently launched MG ZS EV. These cars are not made for Masses as the pricing is rather set at a premium range, while the newly launching TATA NEXON is going to priced smartly as the expected pricing is around Rs 15 to 17 lakhs which is range if the Masses.
Talking  about the technical specifications mentioned below :-

We can observe that being the most expensive HYUNDAI KONA gives the longest range and the best in class torque figures, while the MG ZS EV has the biggest battery still provides lesser range than the KONA yet has the best in class power output.

CONCLUSION

The TATA NEXON EV is basically for the population of India at this price range it offers more than needed features with the range of 312 km in a single charge. Whats more practical is the level of performance and the practical price range. According to me due to this price and the badging of TATA India population will accept the EV platform as the petrol and diesel cars.
