Nora E30

Battery and motor

The Nora E30 (also written E-30) is a compact electric city car offered in four versions. Nora’s dealer price circular dated 20 October 2026 lists a 4 kW motor and a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery for every version. The Eco has a 9.1 kWh pack and a claimed 120 km range, while the Eco+ has 15.1 kWh and a claimed 180 km. Both are also sold as REEV (range-extended) versions with a small petrol generator on board: the Eco REEV claims 250 km and the Eco+ REEV claims 300 km. Earlier reports describe the range extender as a 70 cc engine with a 3-litre petrol tank. Nora’s website quotes 6 to 8 hours for a full charge on standard charging, with no fast charging, and promotes three-minute battery swapping. Top speed has been reported at about 65 km/h.

Size and practicality

Published figures put the E30 at 2,900 mm long, 1,450 mm wide and 1,600 mm tall, with a 1,900 mm wheelbase and 150 mm of ground clearance. It has five doors and four seats, and rides on 12-inch alloy wheels with 145/70 R12 tyres and disc brakes on all four wheels. Boot space has not been published. In our view, it is a car for short city trips rather than family touring.

Equipment by variant

Nora has not published a full equipment list for the current line-up. Launch material listed air conditioning with a heater, leather seats and alloy wheels as standard, while the better-equipped versions sold earlier added a touchscreen, Bluetooth audio, a reverse camera, power windows, remote central locking and an anti-theft alarm. The REEV versions differ mainly by their range extender. Airbag information is unclear, so ask the dealer before booking.

Warranty

Launch reports said the battery and motor are covered for five years. The October 2026 circular does not restate this, so ask for the written terms.

Prices and booking

Prices run from Rs 1,899,999 for the Eco to Rs 2,249,999 for the Eco+ REEV. These are provisional ex-warehouse prices before GST, freight and registration, and the price on the invoice date is final. Booking costs Rs 500,000, with delivery quoted at 30 to 60 days after payment.

Which variant to buy

Our opinion: the Eco+ is the best choice for most buyers. For Rs 200,000 more than the Eco it adds 6 kWh of battery and 60 km of claimed range, a useful buffer when the AC is running. Pick the Eco REEV, just Rs 150,000 above the Eco, if you cannot charge every night. The Eco+ REEV suits longer daily distances, but at that price the bigger Nora NEO deserves a look.
