ZoomCar Electric Cars — EV Rental in India
Updated June 2026 · EV models, charging procedure, range, and marketplace comparison on Zymo
Does ZoomCar have electric cars in India?
Yes. ZoomCar lists electric cars in select metro cities. The primary EV models available are the Tata Nexon EV, MG ZS EV, and Tata Tigor EV. EV availability is more limited than petrol and diesel cars — not all cities have EV listings and availability changes with charging infrastructure. Zymo's search includes ZoomCar EVs alongside Zip EVs and other partner EVs — use the Electric filter on Zymo to see current availability across all partners in one search.
ZoomCar EV models — quick reference
| Model | Battery / Range | Seats | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tata Nexon EV | 40 kWh / ~312 km ARAI | 5 | City + short outstation runs up to 200 km one way |
| MG ZS EV | 50.3 kWh / ~461 km ARAI | 5 | Highway runs with charging infrastructure planned |
| Tata Tigor EV | 26 kWh / ~315 km ARAI | 5 | City-only trips, compact footprint |
Note: Real-world range is 15–20% lower than ARAI figures. Plan charging stops for trips exceeding 200 km.
How does charging work for a ZoomCar EV rental?
ZoomCar EVs are delivered with a full or near-full charge. You are responsible for charging during the trip if needed. ZoomCar provides a portable Type 2 charging cable with the car for home charging. Public fast-chargers are available in metro cities — key networks include Tata Power EV, BPCL (with fast chargers at select pumps), and ChargeZone. Plan charging stops for any trip exceeding 200 km, especially on highway routes where fast chargers are less dense than in cities.
Charging options during a ZoomCar EV trip
- Home / flat charging: use the portable cable provided in the car with a standard 15A socket — adds approximately 10–12 km of range per hour
- AC public charger (3.3–7.2 kW): takes 6–8 hours for a full charge — suitable for overnight stays at outstation destinations
- DC fast charger (30–60 kW): adds approximately 80% charge in 60–90 minutes — use Tata Power or BPCL fast charger networks
What to know before renting a ZoomCar EV
- Charging policy: ZoomCar requires you to return the car at a similar charge level to pickup, or a charging fee applies. Confirm the specific policy on the listing.
- Plan your route: use apps like Tata Power EV, PlugShare, or Google Maps (EV route) to map charging stations before long trips.
- Range anxiety on highways: charging infrastructure between cities is improving but not yet uniform. For highway trips above 200 km in a single leg, plan a charging stop at a confirmed fast-charger.
- Cabin heating/cooling: AC and heating draw significantly from the battery — real-world range in peak summer (full AC) can be 15–20% lower than highway range.
