Detailed Description

The Mahindra Electric e2o (2013), a compact urban electric hatchback, was India’s first mass-produced electric car under Mahindra Reva Electric Vehicles, following Mahindra’s acquisition of Reva Electric Car Company. The e2o, which was primarily made for city commuting, had a clever, futuristic look with a big windscreen, two doors, and a simple, environmentally friendly design. It included a reinforced bonded monocoque structure composed of polycarbonate and ABS panels, which are strong and lightweight materials that improve corrosion resistance and efficiency. The vehicle was powered by a 48V lithium-ion battery and a 19 kW (25.5 bhp) electric motor, offering a range of approximately 100 km per charge. In keeping with its sustainability-driven philosophy, the e2o was put together at Bengaluru's first platinum-rated green manufacturing facility using low-emission and energy-efficient techniques. It was a cutting-edge electric transportation solution for its time, with an interior that prioritised smart communication and included touchscreen infotainment and remote diagnostics.
