A DC fast charger requires just 60 minutes for a 0 to 80 percent charge, whereas a 3.3kW AC home fast charger requires 8 hours for a full charge.

On the brighter side of things, Tata is offering reduced subscription rates on the Nexon EV right up to November 30. Even the Delhi government has passed an order which exempts EVs from road tax. While it sits at a comfortably-priced spot in the EV market, it is set to face some competition in the form of the upcoming Mahindra XUV300 Electric which is set to arrive by 2021.
