Talking about competition, the Henrey Volts HEV300 will compete directly with the Tata Tiago EV.

When it comes to performance, the Tiago EV has an edge with its 49 kW motor, outpacing the 35 kW motor of the HEV300. However, the HEV300 features a larger 32.56 kWh battery pack, compared to the 24 kWh battery in the Tiago EV. Additionally, the HEV300 uses Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery chemistry, which is considered a safer option for electric vehicles.

The larger battery and modest motor of the HEV300 result in a greater driving range of 335 km, compared to the 315 km offered by the Tiago EV.

Moreover, the HEV300’s range is measured under the CLTC cycle, which provides a more accurate estimate compared to the MIDC cycle used for the Tiago EV.

That said, the Tiago EV benefits from Tata’s strong reputation and the well-established EV infrastructure built by Sipradi in Nepal, making it an appealing choice for enthusiastic buyers. Meanwhile, Henrey Volts, although a relatively new brand, presents the HEV300 as a solid option for comfortable city commutes and travel.

In terms of pricing, both the HEV300 and Tiago EV fall within a similar range. However, the HEV300 is slightly more affordable than the top variant of the Tiago EV.
