Context
Why does this story matter?
With the rise in pollution levels and traffic congestion in metro cities, compact electric mobility is touted by many as a way forward in India. However, the options for affordable electric cars are nearly non-existent on our shores as of now. To tackle this issue, PMV Electric is set to unveil its first-ever micro EV, the EaS-E, as an efficient city-oriented compact vehicle.

The micro EV flaunts circular LED headlamps and alloy wheels
The PMV EaS-E features a compact "Smart Car" design language and flaunts a clamshell bonnet, a squared-out grille with a full-width LED DRL, circular LED headlamp units, and a raked windscreen. On the sides, the EV is flanked by ORVMs, large windows, flared wheel arches, and designer alloy wheels. The rear end of the vehicle gets a full-width taillight.
Information
It promises a range of up to 200km
The PMV EaS-E draws power from an efficient PMSM electric motor linked to a 10kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack. The setup generates a maximum power of 20hp. The EV promises a driving range of up to 200km on a single charge.
Interiors
The EV will feature power windows and remote keyless entry
The interiors of the upcoming PMV EaS-E are yet to be revealed. However, we expect the two-seater micro EV to feature a minimalist dashboard, fabric upholstery, remote keyless entry, cruise control, power windows, manual AC, a multifunctional steering wheel, an LCD instrument cluster, and an infotainment panel with Bluetooth and USB connectivity. The safety of passengers will be ensured by seatbelts, among other features.
