In the Czech Republic, the UAZ electric car was released earlier than in Russia
The Czech company MW Motors has created an electric car, making a deep modernization of the Russian off-road vehicle UAZ Hunter. The changes consist in the fact that instead of an internal combustion engine, an AC electric motor with a capacity of 163 horsepower was installed, and also replaced the usual analog instrument panel in the cabin with a digital display.
This is reported by Tesla Magazine.
The cost of this car starts from 40 thousand euros, and it was launched on sale. Buyers are offered versions with right-hand and left-hand drive.
In terms of weight, the new electric SUV, dubbed the Spartan EV, is 120 kilograms heavier than the usual Hunter. Its cruising range is 240 km. It is worth noting that the car has a fast charging system, which allows it to "refuel" during the driver's lunch break.
As the Russian edition notes Gazeta.ru, in the Czech Republic, the UAZ electric car was released earlier than in Russia, because at the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant itself, such cars are not yet made.
The publication suggests that such a car would not be successful in the domestic Russian market due to the high price and lack of the necessary infrastructure for the operation of electric vehicles. And it is easier to enter the European market with this product if it will be manufactured by an enterprise located in one of the European countries.
