Mahindra e-Verito electric sedan to launch on June 2, 2016

Mahindra & Mahindra will launch their fully-electric sedan, the Mahindra e-Verito, on June 2, 2016. The e-Verito was originally showcased as a concept car at the 2014 Auto Expo. But the electric sedan launch was delayed as Mahindra suffered many hurdles in converting the concept to production form. Finally, Mahindra will launch the e-Verito on June 2, which will be offered in three trims - D2, D4 and D6 just as the outgoing Verito.

The Mahindra e-Verito electric sedan will be powered by a 72V, 3-phase electric motor, which is rated at 40 BHP and 91 Nm. Mahindra claims that the e-Verito will be able to reach a top speed of 86 kmph. On a single charge, the car will cover a distance of 100 km, which is sufficient for a daily commute. A full-charge takes around 8 hours, though this charging time can be reduced to just 1 hour 30 minutes by using the fast charge mode. This fast charge mode is available only with the D6 variant of the e-Verito.

In addition to the new powering mechanism, the electric Verito will also get revised interiors and low resistance tyres. Moreover, Mahindra might add subtle stickers to visually differentiate the e-Verito from its fossil-fuel run counterpart.

The new Mahindra e-Verito is expected to be priced at Rs 8 lakh.
