PMV EaS-E: Is India’s Cheapest Electric Car Really Coming for Just ₹4 Lakh

Electric vehicles in India are slowly becoming more common, but affordability remains a big hurdle for most buyers. Until now, the Tata Tiago EV has held the title of India’s most affordable electric car, with prices starting at around ₹11.79 lakh. MG Motor is also gearing up to enter this space with the Comet/AIR EV. However, a Mumbai-based startup, PMV Electric, is now ready to shake up the market with something far more radical the PMV EaS-E.

It is expected to come with a wheelbase of 2,087 mm and a ground clearance of 170 mm, which should be sufficient for city speed breakers and uneven roads. The compact size also means easier manoeuvrability for new drivers and elderly users.

PMV EaS-E: Battery and Driving Range

Despite its low expected price PMV Electric is promising a practical driving range. The PMV EaS-E is said to offer a range of 120 km to 200 km on a single charge depending on the variant selected. The company plans to offer the car in three different variants, giving buyers the flexibility to choose according to their daily travel needs and budget.

For charging the car will come with a 3 kW AC charger which can fully charge the battery in under 4 hours. This makes home charging convenient especially for users who plan to use the car for short daily commutes such as office travel school runs.
