PMV Eas-E launched at Rs 4.79 lakh introductory price
The PMV Eas-E EV, a new electric four-wheeler from Indian company PMV Electric, has been released for Rs 4.79 lakh (ex-showroom). In India, reservations are being accepted, and the first 10,000 purchasers will pay an introductory price.
Technically, while not being a full-fledged passenger car and being categorized as a quadricycle, this makes the new EV microcar the most affordable electric car in India's personal mobility vehicle market. The Eas-E is now available for pre-order for Rs 2,000, and PMV reports that it has already gotten more than 6,000 pre-orders from both Indian and foreign markets.
A driver sits in the front while a passenger sits in the back of the Eas-E. It is smaller than typical automobiles at 2.9 meters long. However, the EV features metal body panels and a monocoque structure.
Since the Eas-E is a quadricycle, it features a slim dashboard with the steering wheel situated in the middle and the handbrake placed to the left of the manually adjustable driver's seat. The majority of the switchgear on the steering wheel and console appears to have been taken from a Honda parts bin. The Eas-E also features an LCD digital instrument cluster and an infotainment screen with smartphone connectivity and integrated navigation.
A 48-volt lithium iron phosphate battery that is structurally connected to the PMV Eas-body E's structure powers the vehicle. Despite the fact that the capacity has not been disclosed, it will be available in a number of variations with ranges of up to 120 km, 160 km, and 200 km. In three to four hours, the battery may be fully charged using a standard 15A power outlet.
The PMV EV is driven by a front-mounted e-motor with 13.5PS and 50Nm of power, which is significantly less than most ordinary automobiles but still sufficient for a peak speed of up to 70kmph.
The PMV Eas-E will be produced in the company's Pune facility, and PMV plans to begin deliveries by the middle of 2023. Additionally, a 3-year/50,000-kilometer warranty is included. The Eas-E will take on the MG Air EV once its launched.
