Electric car Lada Vesta rolled off the Assembly line AVTOVAZ

Russia's largest car manufacturer has successfully completed tests of the first model electric vehicle EV Vesta. According to the information of sedan Lada Vesta EV got the electric motor power of 82 HP (60 kW) and lithium-ion battery that will provide a cruising range on one charge is 150 km.

Powerplant electric Vesta allows to disperse to 100 km/h in 15.5 seconds and top speed is 150 km/h For full charging from a household outlet of 220 V will take about 9 hours, at the same time, to replenish energy from a voltage of 380 V will be less than 2 hours.

It is worth noting that AVTOVAZ already have some experience in the development of electric vehicles. So, in 2011, was shown the first domestic electric car Lada Ellada, kotoryy built on the platform of LADA Kalina petrol. However, Russia's new electric car Vesta, in contrast to Greece, according to the manufacturer, received a "fundamentally new level of comfort and safety for driver and passengers."

"We believe, at the Vesta EV great export potential due to more attractive cost with the same consumer properties that have competitors. In 2016, will produce several electric vehicles for testing. Production Vesta EV will arrange with the appropriate ordering service marketing: still the future of electric cars in Russia depends on demand, which dictates including a well-developed network of charging stations," — said in all seriousness by the head of innovative projects service engineering Konstantin Kotlyarov.For comparison: electric Kalina was equipped with lithium-iron-phosphate battery with a capacity of 23 kWh charge which is enough for 140 km. The price of "electrically" was about 1.2 million. And, for example, a budget version of the Lada Vesta with a gasoline engine costs a little more than 500 thousand rubles. The same car in the "luxury" complete set (with "all inclusive" and automatic gearbox) will cost 677 thousand rubles. At the same time, the cost on the Russian market of electric Mitsubishi i-MiEV is about 1 million. published
