Mahindra &
Mahindra, had announced last year that the e-KUV100 will reach showrooms in
mid-2019. At the 2019 Geneva Motor Show yesterday, he said that the launch will
take place in about six months, as per a report from PTI.
The Mahindra e-KUV100 was introduced at the Auto
Expo 2018. Until dedicated EVs start making sense in terms of volume, Mahindra
will continue converting existing ICE-powered vehicles to EVs, and the e-KUV100
is one of those models. While one may argue that it’s just a raised hatchback,
the company boasts that it’s India’s first electric SUV.
The Mahindra e-KUV100 uses a 30 kW (40 PS)
electric motor powered by a Lithium-ion battery pack that provides a range of
over 140 km. Fast charging is optional, and it can allow the battery to be
charged to 80% in less than an hour.
Mahindra says that the future is not only electric
but also connected, and rightly so. It has equipped the e-KUV100 with features
like cabin pre-cooling, location tracking, remote diagnostics and more. The car
also monitors the driving pattern.
