Up to 500 kilometers on a single charge
According to sources, the car can travel up to 500 kilometers on a single charge. The Altroz EV could launch with a larger battery pack than the Nexon EV. So the battery is likely to take longer to charge. The company has not yet given official information in this regard. Driving range figures are as per sources.
Benefits of government schemes
The Altroz EV electric car will benefit from the FAME II scheme implemented by the Central Government. The effect of this plan will be seen on the price. It is difficult to predict the price of the car before its launch, but sources estimate that the car will be priced between Rs 10 lakh and Rs 12 lakh.
