Tata Motors Electric Cars: troubleshooting and FAQs
Troubleshooting tips and frequently asked questions for Tata Motors Electric Cars.
Troubleshooting tips
If your Tata Nexon EV or Tiago EV does not start, check the 12V auxiliary battery. A weak 12V battery can prevent the main system from powering up. Jump-start it or replace it if needed.
For reduced range, ensure tire pressures are at the recommended levels (typically 36-40 psi) and avoid carrying unnecessary weight. Also, use Eco mode and regenerative braking to maximize efficiency.
If the charging cable is not locking into the port, inspect the connector for debris or damage. Clean it gently with a dry cloth and ensure the vehicle is unlocked before plugging in.
If the infotainment screen freezes, perform a soft reset by holding the power button for 10 seconds. If the issue persists, disconnect the 12V battery for 5 minutes and reconnect.
If the car shows a 'Service Required' warning, check the coolant level for the battery pack. Low coolant can cause overheating. Top up with the specified coolant if safe, otherwise contact support.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to charge a Tata Nexon EV at home?
