The vehicle has a top speed of 127 kilometers per hour and will be introduced in the market at the end of 2024. The car takes eight hours to get fully charged, after which it can run for 210 kilometres and is rated as a game-changer both for Pakistan’s economy as well as for the well-being of the common man.
