India-based startup Personal Mobility Vehicles (PMV) has launched its first electric microcar, the Eas-E, at a starting price of INR 4.79 lakh, making it the cheapest electric car on sale in India. PMV says it has already received almost 6,000 pre-orders for the EaS-E from India and international markets.

The PMV Ease-E EV is basically a two-seater quadricycle where the passenger sits behind the driver (one in the front and one in the back). At 2,915mm in length, it’s even smaller than the Tata Nano. Despite this, this two-seater electric micro-car has four doors for easier ingress and egress from both sides. The Ease-E is 1,157mm wide and 1,600mm tall, with a wheelbase of 2,080mm and a ground clearance of 170mm.

The company has equipped the EaS-E with a 48V battery (IP67-rated) and a 13 hp/50Nm electric motor. It can be had in three range figures: 120km, 160km and 200km (claimed). The Eas-E is said to go from 0-40kph in under 5sec and can reach a top speed of 70kph. The electric quadricycle can be charged in less than four hours.

The EaS-E comes equipped with LED headlights (with an LED DRL strip), an LCD screen for instrumentation, steering-mounted controls, a Bluetooth-enabled audio system, power windows, keyless entry, multiple driving modes, regenerative braking, remoter park assist, cruise control and many remote functions.

In terms of safety, it gets a driver airbag and seatbelts for both passengers. Other safety features include a rear camera and front disc brakes.
