RANGE

Thank you to the energy management of its lithium-ion energy and optimized by the deceleration and braking, the interval in the cycle European standard is 150 km. In practice, this is sufficient to cover most conductive pathways per day, of which 90% is actually less than 60 km.

It 's hard for 6 hours the battery again, using the traditional plug appliances. Fast-charge time with a special charging unit offers a 50% pay only fifteen minutes, or 80% in thirty minutes.
