Imagine the silence of a mountain trail shattered only by the crisp crunch of gravel under electric wheels. No engine rumble—just the powerful surge of torque, the whisper of control, and a statement: the electric age is not coming, it's already here. Witness it for yourself in the video below.
A Journey Above the Clouds
The Tata Harrier EV recently scaled one of Kerala’s most intimidating terrains: Thangalppara, often called the "Elephant Rock" for its sheer massiveness and raw, unforgiving slopes. This isn't your regular Sunday hill climb. The path is steep, winding, and littered with loose gravel and blind corners that challenge even the most capable SUVs.
But the Harrier EV? It didn’t just climb. It glided. Each turn, each ascent, handled with a confidence that left onlookers awestruck.
What Makes the Tata Harrier EV So Capable?
Tata has re-engineered the Harrier for the electric age without compromising the essence of a rugged, full-size SUV. Here's what powers this mountain-slaying machine:
Battery & Range
-
Battery Pack: A 75 kWh high-energy-density lithium-ion battery.
-
Real-World Range: Up to 600 km on a single charge under standard conditions. Even in hilly terrains, expect 400+ km depending on usage and drive mode.
Charging Capabilities
-
Fast Charging: Capable of 120 kW DC fast charging, which means 0–80% in under 40 minutes.
-
AC Charging: Compatible with 7.2 kW and 11 kW AC wall chargers for home or office charging.
-
Regenerative Braking: Captures energy while descending or slowing down, feeding it back into the battery—perfect for mountain drives.
Drive & Drivetrain
-
All-Wheel Drive (AWD): Electric motors on both axles ensure superior traction on all surfaces.
-
Instant Torque: Peak torque delivery from 0 RPM makes climbing steep grades effortless.
Drive Modes Used During the Climb
Tata's Multimode Drive Selector was crucial in adapting the Harrier EV's behavior to Thangalppara’s terrain:
-
City Mode
-
Used during the early stretch: Offers a smooth, linear throttle response, perfect for mild inclines and slow, controlled driving.
-
-
Sport Mode
-
Switched on during the mid-section climb for maximum power and torque. Essential for steep ascents and quick throttle response.
-
-
Eco Mode
-
Activated during flat segments or while cruising downhill to optimize regenerative braking and extend range.
-
-
Terrain Response System (Exclusive to AWD variant)
-
Includes "Rough Road", "Wet", and "Hill Assist" settings.
-
During the final steep sections, the vehicle dynamically engaged Rough Road Mode for added grip and wheel articulation.
-
Together, these drive modes proved the Harrier EV is not just capable—it’s intelligent.
