The battery remains low during the long rides because of the cooling liquid in it. Besides the fact that this is an electric vehicle, it is powerful enough and generating peak powers of 127bhp.

Mahindra e-Verito is an ideal car for those who love traveling with a lot of stuff because of the big 510l trunk. The three-phase engine is enough for a safe ride, and the AC-induction will make the ride as smooth as it can be. The full battery will allow you to ride for 140 kilometers, but the fast charger will recharge the battery for less than 2 hours. Calculate well before you go on some long trip, so you can make the pause for lunch while the car is recharging. And this is where the 510l trunk comes in handy, as you will surely have everything you might need while the car is recharging.
