The OG Nexon EV featured a 30.2kWh battery pack which supported 3.3kW AC charging and fast DC charging.

To ensure faster charging times at home, Tata Motors has introduced a faster 7.2kW home charging option (which adds an extra Rs 50,000 to the ex-showroom price) which charges the Nexon EV Max in 6 to 7 hours. The Tata Nexon EV Max charges from 10-80 per cent in 56 minutes when connected to a fast DC charger.
