EV OVERVIEW
An electric vehicle is powered by a battery
- Edrive and it does not need any type of
fossil fuel. While conventional vehicles use
an internal combustion engine and gaso-
line or diesel as fuel, electric vehicles use
electrical energy that is stored inside the
high voltage battery. As a result, electric
vehicles run on electricity, they are eco-
friendly - they do not require fuel and are
zero emission vehicles.
Review and Characteristics
This is an electric vehicle. Some of the ve-
hicle’s systems operate differently and
have different operating characteristics
than vehicles equipped with an internal
combustion engine. It is important to care-
fully read the entire Owner’s Manual for
this reason.
This Vehicle uses two types of battery sys-
tems- a high voltage system in which a
high voltage battery powers the inverter
and electric motor which in turn propel the
vehicle and a low voltage system in which
a 12-volt battery provides power to the ve-
hicle systems and features such as the
audio system, supplementary restraint
systems, headlights and wind-shield
wipers. The high voltage battery also
charges the 12-volt battery.
The high voltage battery must be charged
with electricity before the vehicle can be
driven. As the vehicle operates, the battery
gradually discharges and when completely
discharged, the vehicle needs to be
plugged in for charging. To increase the
range of the EV, regenerative braking has
been incorporated. Basically, while the ve-
hicle is coasting or braking, the motor
works as a generator and converts the ve-
hicle motion (kinetic energy) to electrical
energy to charge the HV battery.
This vehicle is considered to be an envi-
ronmentally friendly vehicle because it
does not emit exhaust gases, and thus is
cleaner than the conventional vehicles in
terms of air pollution.
Main Components
3 IN 1 Unit
On-Board Charger (OBC): A device•
that charges the high voltage battery
by converting AC power from a domes-
tic supply into DC power and supplying
it to the battery.
DC-DC Converter: A device that con-•
verts HV DC power from the HV bat-
tery to LV DC power which is required
to maintain LV battery charge, which in
turn powers the LV systems like lights,
wipers, infotainment, etc. in the vehi-
cle.
Power Distribution Unit: Distributes•
power from the high voltage battery to
the HV components like inverter, DC-
DC converter, E-compressor etc.
Bi-directional Convertor: The bi-di-•
rectional AC-DC/DC-AC converter reg-
ulates the active power transferred
from the DC battery to the AC powered
devices. Additionally, it maintains unity
power factor while controlling active
power transferred from the AC grid to
the DC battery..

Electric Motor: A device that converts•
electrical energy into rotational me-
chanical energy which is then trans-
ferred as rotational torque to the
wheels through the gearbox.
High Voltage Battery (lithium ion•
polymer) - An on board high voltage
electrical energy storage device
General Warnings
Your vehicle contains a sealed Li-ion•
high voltage battery. If the Li-ion bat-
tery is disposed of improperly, there is
a risk of severe burns and electrical
shock that may result in serious injury
or death and there is also a risk of en-
vironmental damage.
The EV system uses high voltage DC•
current. The system can be hot during
and after starting and when the vehicle
is shut off. Be careful of both the high
voltage and the high temperature.
Avoid being exposed to high-voltage•
components in the first place. Observe
all high-voltage warning labels these
indicate high-voltage components or
areas. Observe all orange cables and
other high voltage components, large
and small these carry high voltage.
Do not touch high-voltage components•
while the vehicle is in operation or
cranked state.
Do not disassemble, remove or re-•
place high-voltage parts and cables as
well as their connectors because they
can cause severe burns or electric
shock that may result in serious injury
or death.
•The vehicle high voltage system has
no user serviceable parts. It is recom-
mended that you take your vehicle to
a TATA MOTORS EV service centre
for any necessary maintenance.
•Pay special attention to pedestrians.
Because there is no motor noise,
pedestrians may not know the vehicle
is approaching, moving or about to
move, and may step into the path of
vehicle travel.
•When leaving the vehicle, be sure to
turn off the EV system. The EV system
uses high voltage current. Failure to
follow the proper handling instructions
may cause serious injury or death.
INTRODUCTION TO EV

Safety Of The High-voltage System
•Do not perform any modifications or
work on the vehicle, especially mainte-
nance and repair work on the high-volt-
age system and the body and avoid
retrofitting accessories.
•If work is not carried out properly, there
is the risk of fire and fatal injury from
electrocution due to the high-voltage
system.
•TATA MOTORS recommends to
have modifications and work on the
vehicle only to be carried out by an
authorized TATA MOTORS
authorized EV service center or one
that operates according to TATA
MOTORS’ specifications with
personnel trained accordingly.
•Your vehicle’s high-voltage system is a
self-contained system. Safety is en-
sured as long as no unauthorized work
is performed on high voltage electrical
components or on the chassis.
High-voltage System: Contact With
Water
The high-voltage system is typically safe
even in the following example situations:
Water in the foot well, for instance after•
a rainstorm when sunroof was kept
open.
Vehicle is in water but only up to 300•
mm.
Liquid escapes in the trunk.•
In these cases there is no risk of injury
from electrocution. Other damage to the
vehicle is possible.
