Dynamic Range Model
Certified laboratory ratings never tell the full story. See how speed, ambient temperature, and departure charge affect your actual driving distance.
This calculation preserves a safe 10% emergency buffer to reach a highway fast charger without stress. Laboratory test figures like ARAI or MIDC assume ideal conditions and no air conditioning load.
Reach
From where you start, with the battery you leave with. The solid area is what the Twin Motor (78 kWh) reaches on one charge; the dashed line adds one fast-charging stop on the way.
Approximate shapes: straight-line distance adjusted for typical road detours.
Your location stays approximate: it’s rounded to about 1 km.
Highway estimate of 324 km, keeping 10% in reserve. A fast charge adds 10–80%. Weather, speed and load change real reach.
Power, Connectors & Speeds
Realistic charging speeds across home wallboxes, highway DC fast corridors, and emergency 15A domestic sockets.
AC 3-phase / 1-phase Wallbox
CCS2 DC Fast Charger
Standard 3-pin domestic outlet
All electric vehicles charge fastest from 10% to 80%. Above 80%, the on-board battery management system (BMS) intentionally slows charging throughput to manage cell temperature and preserve battery chemistry. On highway road trips, unplugging around 80% is the optimal time-saving strategy.
Battery Chemistry & Architecture
Understanding usable vs nominal capacity buffer, cell chemistry care rules, and manufacturer battery warranty protection.
The reserve buffer protects cells from severe deep-discharge and excessive high-voltage stress, ensuring consistent pack longevity over years of operation.
NMC chemistry delivers high energy density. Charge to 80% for daily commutes, reserving 100% charges for long highway journeys.
Protected against early cell degradation and manufacturing defects.
TCO & Energy Economics
Calculate your real monthly charging spend compared to a petrol car, factoring in home electricity tariffs, public DC fast charging rates, and AC wall losses.
Saving ~₹6,164 every month on energy spend (71% reduction vs petrol).

While laboratory MIDC/ARAI tests cite ~450 km, our verified testing in Indian conditions shows a real highway driving range of approximately 324 km at 95 km/h with continuous air conditioning. In city driving with regenerative braking, drivers typically observe ~405 km.
Equipped with a standard CCS2 charging port, the EX40 accepts up to 150 kW peak DC power. It can charge from 10% to 80% SoC in approximately 30 minutes at compatible 60kW+ charging stations.
With a portable charger, yes. On a regular power socket at about 2.3 kW it adds roughly 3% charge an hour. The EX40 takes up to 11 kW on AC, so a wallbox at that power is the fastest way to charge it at home, about 7.1 hours from 0 to 100%. Have an electrician check the circuit first, and never charge through an extension cord.
The battery pack and electric motor are covered under an OEM warranty of 8 years or 1,60,000 km, guaranteeing minimum 75% State of Health (SoH) retention.
The numbers. Then the road.
Never worry about range or queue times. The ChargeSpot mobile app automatically plans optimal charging stops based on your battery capacity, highway speed, and real-time charger availability across all Indian networks.
