I'm an owner of curvv.ev myself. I own the Emp+A 55 variant. Have been driving since almost 2 months and close to 3500 kms in the ODO. I'm based in Bhubaneswar and mine was the first currv.ev to be delivered in the state of Odisha. And I have driven 360kms on a single charge and I had 21% battery still remaining. This was in one go. The max I have gotten is 408kms with 14% charge remaining from 100% SOC and over a period of 3-4 days. I can safely say I get a range of 430-450kms. But yes I felt in the city mode it gives more range than the ECO mode. When I started watching the video, I thought you will make 400 easily, but that wasn't the case. Surprised really!
Do you drive over 80 kmph for most of your city drive? I guess that's the reason, he's doing a highway run and went uphill twice, that for sure takes more battery than running below that speed.. I'm sure if someone only goes up till 50 kmph they can achieve upto 500kms range but we have to be realistic here
With due respect, people will only remember the range anxiety and nervousness exhibited by the rider and not the comfort of the drive. It is important that you highlight the fact that you drove uphill twice at a good speed - which eats up the battery fast.
I think, for a range test the route followed in video is pretty harsh for a EV. First climb to lavasa then 2 times climb to amby vally and then agen lonavala ghat climb...I guess that's roughly 1500-2000mtrs of elevation gain all put together ...with that height gains, if Curve is able to do 380km , I guess in flat city environment it can easily do 430-450
Best way to drive a ev to get good range is to just switch off regen,switch in city mode and maintain speed under 80- 90. Curvv can easily get 400 to 420kms. Battery should not be given much work while driving then we can get good range.
Shouldn’t regen improve range? Regenerative braking recaptures the kinetic energy and converts it back to battery charge which would otherwise be lost. What am I missing here?
@@vinaymohandimri1987 Regen shouldn't be used on highways because it causes unnecessary deceleration, requiring frequent acceleration to maintain speed, which reduces overall efficiency and also disrupting traffic flow.
You're not completely right... Yes, the regeneration shouldn't be kept on maximum when on highway.. But it shouldn't also be kept at zero.. Keep it intermediate(an optimum level) such that the deceleration due to regen isn't much, but also such that you do get to recover little bit of Range due to regen.. it should be optimum... The problem is because regen at higher levels so powerful that, it decelerates so much that you need to press the throttle more to regain that momentum, and in the process lose more than what you gain via Regen
Don't know what is the reason for such a low range that you are getting. My friend who owns this Car could easily achieve 390 with 10% battery left at an average speed of 80 to 90 km.per hour..

Rather than v2l , just tag it and drag it with a lorry or another car , one of our group (tiago ev with innova ) when he had a issue like this and it worked, he actually got 20min drive he got 14 percent charge
Just 2 points: 1. How much it would give with 100-120 kmph speed ? 2. The new car is 380 kms . Like mobile batteries, will come to say 150 after 2 years ?
400 km is more then enough . today in india you can find fast charger every 20-25 km . range anxiety with a car of more then 300 km range is bullshit unless you live in north east states.
I would like to know the range if the curv has atleast 3 people(including driver), mixed road like u did in this video which includes avg speed of 75-85kmph on highway(not constant 90-100kmph)😅 Bcz if we are travelling with family, definitely the elders aren't gonna allow us to drive over 80kmph right😅
Genuine question - Is the most top-of-mind question on a new or future EV buyer how the car drives/fares in the city or is it how do I drive 300 kms far far far away from the city knowing fully well that the charging infrastructure outside big cities is unreliable at best and absent at worst? Why are these kinds of road / range tests so important for auto reviewers other than for entertainment purposes only? Are people who do any reasonable amount of highway driving really running to EV showrooms?
Actually if I'm considering an EV I would like to know if it can go upto 350-400 kms on a highway and hills, since most of the hotels provide at least a 15W charger these days. So yea this video does make sense to me and alot of other buyers
Super cool test. Watching the video is full of thrill and at the same time very much informative. This video is more thrilling and challenging than the one the duo (+ Tushar) did for Ioniq 5.
It will give 420 to 440 if there is no elevation gain or loss at 70kms constant speeds and light foot and quickly shifting to regen 3 when you need to slow down the vehicle. Even if we consider 130wh/km, 55000w/130wh/km=423kms.
Electric vehicles (EVs) deliver their best range at speeds between 60 to 80 km/h ; Drive at 60KM/hr without air conditioning (AC). If you're using AC, driving at 80 km/h provides optimal efficiency. Additionally, avoid rapid acceleration from 0 to 40 km/h to maximize range.
We’ve done multiple range tests with the 40.5kWh version which usually does ~300km. With a 10% larger battery, we expect a 10% better real world range. So 320-330km should be possible.
Tata electrics for me will be a dealbreaker till the day they are safe to drive down to at least 5%, if not 0%. Ioniq 5s and EV6s rip all the day to death. This performance here is unacceptable
I don't know how you people drive ..but for me my curvv ev easily gives 400-410 range with 9% battery remaining ..and i am very much happy with this range trulyyy ..secret I'll reveal here play between regen 0 & 1 on highway and in heavy traffic use 1 to 3 levels .. Slowly you'll learn how to get maximum of curvv EV..❤❤❤
Impressive video, ZigWheels. Looking forward to seeing your next upload. I smashed that thumbs up button on your content. Keep up the fantastic work! Your real-world range test of the Curve EV was fascinating. How do you think the design influences its performance compared to other models in similar conditions?
You said there are no chargers between Lonavala and Pune? In fact there’s one right at the foodmall after Talegaon toll and at least 5 more before the one you went to. One at the Kia showroom where the other Nexon joined you guys and one more at the opposite side of the highway at Citroen showroom. I get that you needed to run the car down to the minimum possible charge, but saying there are no chargers is just dishonest I feel.
after doing all the range tests, you should know that incline takes more energy be it be electric or fossil fuel, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that it ate up more battery.

Very interesting video waiting for Nexon .ev 45
Why don’t you drive Mumbai Goa Highway for another review cuz Pune expressway is an easy thing to

How much cost it takes to charge 0 to 100% for curvv ev
Depends on electricity rate in your state. My NEXON EV 30kwh would cost me around ₹330-350 for 0-100% charge. This is Maharashtra Mahavitaran.
Range depend on temperature 🌡️ also in winter it will give 40 to 50 km more
Maybe not that much, but a 20-30km gain is possible.
