Bringing the power is a 2.1-kW (2.85 PS) DC electric motor, developed by Bosch, that can churn out a massive 90 Nm of torque low down. A 32-Ah Lithium-ion battery packs provides 80 km of range on a single charge. Using a household charge socket, a full charge takes five hours. Fastcharge allows up to 70 per cent charge in one hour.
