    I have done my 2nd service of my Nexon EV Lux. I drove 7800 km , 5 months over. I found 3 times there is sudden drop in battery percentage from 60% to 20% 1st time and 2nd time the battery percentage drop from 50% to 22%. This is really horrifying if u go for long drive then you will be in real soups. Sometimes I feel I have done a mistake in purchasing EV from TATA. Also, i have never got the range above 150 km. But they claimed 230 to 300 km which is fell absurd.
