Mahindra eSupro all-electric van launched

Mahindra Electric has launched the eSupro van in two versions - Cargo and Passenger. The eSupro Cargo Van is priced at Rs. 8.45 lakh, while the Passenger Van variant costs Rs. 8.75 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). These prices include subsidy deductions under the government's FAME initiative.

Mahindra had previously showcased the eSupro at the 2016 Auto Expo. It is powered by an electric motor that drives power from a 72V lithium-ion battery pack. Power is sent to the wheels through a single-speed gearbox. The powertrain generates 33.5 BHP and 90 Nm of torque. It has a range of 112 km and can achieve a top speed of 60 km/h. The eSupro takes 8 hours 45 minutes to get a 0-100 % charge.

Similar to the system found on the e2o, the eSupro also gets a Boost mode that provides added power to climb inclines or tackle tricky overtaking manoeuvres. It also gets a Revive R feature that squeezes out reserve power from the battery and lets the owner drive for 7 kilometers, even when the indicated charge level is 0%.

The eSupro even gets regenerative braking, that essentially uses the energy lost in braking to recharge the battery pack. It also features an analog-digital instrument cluster that shows information about Status of Charge (Battery), Distance to Empty (DTE), Speed, Gear Engaged, Total Running and efficiency.
