With an electric motor capable of producing 132PS, the new XUV will be at least as fast (maybe quicker) than the contemporary fossil-fueled vehicle. Mahindra's managing director revealed in December last year that the car will be available in two variants, one aimed at commuters and affordability, and another long-range aspirational XUV300 EV. Prices are expected to start from Rs 10 lakh.
The latter is expected to come with a 40kWh battery and DC fast charging, enough for a range of 300km. This number might be a conservative estimate since Mahindra is working closely with LG Chem to produce Nickel-Manganese-Cobalt (NMC) Lithium-ion batteries for this vehicle. This technology is part of current pre-production research at Tesla and will provide a higher energy density per unit volume than conventional Li-ion cells. Stalwarts like the Chevrolet Bolt and already use these batteries.
Mahindra plans to launch an all-electric KUV100, which will be followed by the first fruit of the. The company is also working to develop all-electric vehicles which would be designed, engineered, and built as EVs. Dr Pawan Goenka, the Managing Director of Mahindra, has expressed that Mahindra will bring these vehicles to the market in 3-4 years.
