CompanykiaAt the Chicago Auto Show, it officially introduced electricSoul EV2015 model year. It is designed for those who think about the environment and are ready to switch to fully electric cars.
The crossover has a two-tone exterior with a unique front. There is no internal combustion engine here, as well as a radiator grille, but instead a special panel is installed behind which a device for charging the battery is hidden. Also from the appearance it is worth noting the updated headlights, special icons “Eco Electric” and 16-inch alloy wheels with tires with very low rolling resistance. The interior has fabric upholstery seats with a blue stitch, while including environmentally friendly finishing materials. The model also has GPS navigation, rear view camera, climate control, cruise control, support for Bluetooth connectivity. The cabin also has a 3.5-inch OLED screen that provides information about battery energy balance and charging time.
Unfortunately, the transition to an electric power plant forced the manufacturer to reduce the legroom for rear passengers by 8 cm. The load capacity was also reduced to 541 liters. The performance is responsible for the electric motor, producing 109 hp (81 kW) and 210 lb-ft (284 Nm) of torque. It is powered by a 27 kW lithium-ion polymer battery. Acceleration to “hundreds” takes as much as 12 seconds, and in general, the speed will not exceed 145 km / h. As for the range on one charge, the manufacturer promises 129-161 km. Full charging from the 240V outlet will take about five hours.
P.S. And remember, just changing our consumption – together we change the world!
