According to the car manufacturer, the EV’s prototype is ready. Kalpit Patel, PMV Electric’s founder, said, “We are happy to officially unveil the electric car. This is a significant achievement for us. We would like to come up with a world-class EV made by an Indian company. We aim to electrify India and plan to roll out a new segment called the Personal Mobility Vehicle (PMV), which would be for everyday use.”

PMV EaS-E will come with a range of up to 200 km on a single charge. It may have a 10 Kwh lithium iron phosphate battery that belts out a maximum power of 20hp. 

The EV is likely to come with a smart compact car design. It would contain a clamshell bonnet, a squared grille with full-width LED daytime running lamps (DRLs), circular LED headlamps along with a raked windscreen.

 

The EaS-E may have large windows, flared wheel arches and alloy wheels. It would come with a taillight on the rear along its full width.

 

Talking about the interiors, the PMV EaS-E is expected to be a two-seater micro EV with minimalist dashboard and fabric upholstery. It could sport remote keyless entry along with cruise control, power windows and manual AC.

 

It may have a slew of additional offerings like an LCD instrument cluster along with an infotainment panel with Bluetooth and USB connectivity. It could come with a multi-functional steering wheel.

 

On the pricing front, the PMV EaS-E micro SUV could win many hearts — it may carry a price tag of Rs 4 lakh (Rs 400,000). Details about the pricing and availability will be unveiled within the next six days.
