Mahindra can also equip the XUV Aero with a 380V system which is currently said to be in the development stage. The new system is a part of Mahindra’s EV 2.0 electric vehicles that the company is planning to introduce in the coming years. These motors will be tuned to produce power outputs ranging from 41 hp to 204 hp and attain speeds of 0-60 kmph in 4-5 seconds. The maximum speed could stand at 200 kmph. The company is also said to be working on reducing the charge time of these motors to an hour as well as boosting the range to 350km in a single charge. It is believed that the XUV Aero could roll off the production lines by late 2018 or early 2019. Stay tuned for updates.
