For better roll control, the roll axis is made flatter and the vehicle is claimed to have a 50:50 weight distribution. It has a fast charging rate of 1.2C and utilising a fast charger of 70 kW or above, it can replenish 10-80 per cent in 40 minutes. The homegrown manufacturer further says that up to 150 km driving range can be achieved in just 15 minutes.
