Charging options include a 3.3kW AC home wall box charger, a 7.2kW AC home wall box charger, a 15 A plug point, and a 50kW DC fast charger, providing flexibility and efficiency in charging times. The Tata Punch.ev comes with three drive modes (Eco, City, and Sport) and three regeneration levels (Minimum, Intermediate, and Maximum), allowing users to customize their driving experience. Notably, the vehicle offers a generous unladen ground clearance of 190mm and a water-wading capability of 350mm.
