The Pravaig Veer EV was doing a trial run at the Rajaji Tiger Reserve in Uttarakhand.

In a tragic incident, an electric vehicle built by Bangalore-based Pravaig Dynamics crashed, claiming the lives of four persons.

The Pravaig Veer EV was doing a test run at the Rajaji Tiger Reserve in Uttarakhand when the driver lost control, allegedly due to a tyre burst. Four people, including two forest rangers, died in the accident. 

The driver of the vehicle, in his statement, said that the forest officials insisted on overloading the vehicle, exceeding its recommended seating capacity of 8. He was allegedly forced by them to accelerate beyond planned parameters.

Following the incident, Pravaig Dyamics released an official statement on X:

"We are deeply saddened to report a tragic incident involving a vehicle under demonstration via our distributor, one where they were conducting an authorised trial run in Rajaji National Park with the Forest Dept of Uttarakhand.

We have received reports of the accident and the subsequent casualties leading from a tyre burst and for standing against the safety protocol.

No fire or other safety incidents have taken place in the vehicle which was involved in a side impact high-speed crash."

Here's what Pravaig had on display at the 2023 Delhi Auto Expo.

The Pravaig Defy is powered by a 90.9 kWh battery that is said to offer a range of over 500 km.

Bangalore-based EV start-up Pravaig has launched its first product in the Indian market. The Pravaig Defy is an electric SUV that costs Rs 39.50 lakh (ex-showroom).

The design of the Pravaig Defy seems to be inspired by the Range Rover Sport. It has a simple front fascia with angular surfaces and rectangular headlamps. It has a strong shoulder line and retractable door handles. The rear features slim LED tail lights and a roof spoiler.

Despite the Defy’s boxy appearance, the company claims a drag coefficient of 0.33. The SUV rides on 18-inch alloy wheels and gets optional aero covers that are said to add up to 10 km or more range per charge.

The Defy uses sustainable materials in its interior. The upholstery is also made from vegan leather. The car is available in either 5-seat or 4-seat configurations and comes with a 10-inch digital instrument cluster along with a large 15.6-inch touchscreen infotainment system offering onboard gaming & OTA updates. The 4-seat version comes with two 15.6-inch screens as part of the rear seat entertainment package.

The Pravaig Defy has a dual motor setup with a combined output of 401 BHP and 620 Nm. It is powered by a 90.9 kWh battery that is said to offer a range of over 500 km. The car comes with an optional 7.2 kW home charger that can add 300 km of range in around 8 hours. The battery can also be charged using a 150 kW DC fast charger.

The Extinction uses a 96 kWh battery that offers a range of 504 km on a single charge.

The prototype of the Pravaig Extinction Mk1 electric car has been spotted testing in Delhi. The car was seen being driven at a sedate pace on the streets of the national capital.

Pravaig Dynamics revealed its first electric car earlier this month. It uses a 96 kWh battery pack that offers a claimed range of 504 km on a single charge. The battery can be recharged to 80% of its capacity in 30 minutes. The car packs 201 BHP and is said to do a sprint from 0-100 km/h in 5.4 seconds, while its top speed is claimed to be 196 km/h.

The Extinction is a four-door sedan with a coupe-like roofline. It will be offered with lounge-like seating and a left rear passenger seat that could be reclined to 165 degrees. Customers will also be able to personalize the interior of the car. The vehicle will come with a Devialet audio system with smartphone connectivity, HEPA air filters, regenerative braking and autonomous driving technology.
