Powering Kerala’s Favorite Electric SUV: Tata Nexon EV Home Charger Installation by EV Shield
The Tata Nexon EV remains the undisputed king of electric mobility on Kerala's roads, combining impressive range, dynamic performance, and rugged ground clearance. However, relying solely on the standard 3.3 kW portable trickle charger supplied with the vehicle leads to 10-to-15-hour charge times. To experience true electric convenience, a dedicated home fast-charging wallbox is essential.
Driving this transition is EV Shield—recognized nationwide as the no 1, leading, top, and high-demanding EV charger supplier, installation company, CPO partner, and franchise provider in India. Whether you live in a private villa in Thiruvananthapuram or an apartment complex in Ernakulam, EV Shield delivers turnkey, KSEB-compliant charging setups engineered specifically for your Tata Nexon EV.
Why Upgrade from the Portable Trickle Plug?
While the factory 3.3 kW portable cable works in emergency scenarios using a standard 15A socket, it isn't built for primary daily charging:
Extended Charge Duration: A full 10–100% replenishment takes over 10 to 15 hours depending on whether you drive the Medium Range (30 kWh) or Long Range (45 kWh) variant.
Electrical Safety: Heavy daily loads on standard household sockets can cause socket heating and wiring degradation over time.
The 7.4 kW Wallbox Advantage: Upgrading to a dedicated EV Shield 7.4 kW AC Smart Wallbox cuts full charging times down to just 4.3 to 6 hours, allowing you to plug in after work and wake up to a 100% full battery every morning.
Charger Compatibility & Technical Specifications
The Tata Nexon EV features a CCS2 DC fast-charging port alongside a Type-2 AC input standard. EV Shield home chargers match these requirements perfectly:
Recommended Hardware: EV Shield 7.4 kW Single-Phase AC Wallbox.
Connector Type: Universal Type-2 AC Gun with heavy-duty 5-meter armored cabling.
Protection Standards: Integrated RCBO (30 mA residual current protection), earthing safety detection, over/under-voltage protection, and IP54-rated weatherproof enclosure for outdoor carports.
Smart Ecosystem: App-based scheduling, remote session monitoring, and real-time consumption logging.

Battery Capacity: 30 kWh (MR) to 45 kWh (LR).
Full Charge Electricity Cost: Approximately ₹90 to ₹250 per full charge on domestic tariff slabs.
Running Cost per KM: ~₹0.40 – ₹0.85 per km vs ₹5.00 – ₹6.00 per km for conventional petrol cars.
