Renault acknowledged the development of the Renault Kwid EV for China. Now,
Carlos Ghosn, Chairman and CEO, Groupe Renault, has revealed that prototypes of
the Renault Kwid EV are ready.
Renault plans to launch its first EV in the Indian
market by 2022. However, if it hopes to capture a healthy market share, it will
have to manufacture the car locally, instead of importing it as mentioned by
Ghosn.
Ghosn also speaks about Renault, Nissan, and
Mitsubishi will utilise the same platform, the same set of batteries, and the
same set of motors for their respective EV projects to help reduce costs. The
introduction of the Renault Kwid based electric car could be followed by that
of a Nissan/Datsun EV.
