The external charging system uses 144V which makes it suitable for the world market.The charging modes are Quick Charge Mode and an Overnight Charge Mode.


The Quick Charge Mode takes a maximum of 15 minutes to complete the charging and the Overnight Charge Mode takes a maximum of three hours to complete the charging. The life span of the accumulators is estimated to be a year. Thus, it is far economical than any vehicle on the market.


The vehicle has a maximum speed of 240Km/h and a takeoff speed of 20Km/h. At the maximum speed, it takes a maximum of 10 second to bring the car to a complete stop.
