Tata Motors has once again proven its commitment to innovation and affordability with the surprising launch of the 2025 Tata Sumo EV, priced at just ₹2.80 lakh. Designed specifically with middle-class families in mind, this all-electric version of the iconic Sumo combines classic utility with futuristic electric performance. With a 500KM driving range, 30-minute fast charging, and solid build quality, the Tata Sumo EV is set to revolutionize the Indian EV market.
A Tribute to the Original Sumo – With an Electric Twist
The Tata Sumo was once a staple on Indian roads, known for its rugged utility, high ground clearance, and spacious cabin. Now, the legacy continues in a sustainable form. The 2025 Sumo EV keeps its boxy SUV design but gets modern touches like LED DRLs, closed-off grille, and redesigned bumpers—giving it a refreshed but familiar look.
Performance: Powerful Electric Motor with Instant Torque
Under the hood, the Sumo EV is powered by a high-efficiency 110kW electric motor, delivering instant torque and smooth acceleration. Despite its large frame, it can clock 0–60 km/h in under 6 seconds, making it responsive both in the city and on the highway.
- Motor Output: 150 Nm Torque
- Top Speed: 120 km/h
- Transmission: Single-speed automatic (EV standard)
Massive 500KM Range – Go the Distance
One of the biggest highlights of the 2025 Tata Sumo EV is its 500KM driving range on a single full charge. This impressive figure has been achieved thanks to the 62kWh lithium-ion battery pack, paired with Tata’s advanced Ziptron technology.
This makes it an ideal option for long-distance travel, large families, and those who want to cut down on fuel expenses without compromising on range.
Charging Capabilities: From 0 to 100% in 30 Minutes
For families always on the go, the Sumo EV supports DC fast charging, which can charge the battery from 0 to 100% in just 30 minutes using a 50kW fast charger.
- AC Home Charging (7.2kW): 8 hours for full charge
- DC Fast Charging (50kW): 30 minutes for full charge
This means even if you’re in a rush, a quick break at a charging station can get you back on the road in no time.
