Renault Showcases K-ZE EV at Auto Expo 2020

There’s also the familiar piano black finish found in the standard Kwid, and the dash is made up of a fully digital instrument panel screen, manual AC, mode selector knob front and center, and the aforementioned 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system.

Drawing power from a 26.8kWh lithium-ion battery pack and all-electric powertrain, the K-ZE delivers 44 hp and 125 Nm, along with a claimed range of 271 kms.

What’s great about the K-ZE’s battery pack is that it allows for both AC and DC charging, which means you can practically charge the car on any type of outlet. That’s a handy feature to have especially for those who frequently travel long journeys.

Using AC fast charging, the K-ZE can reach 100 percent charge in four hours using a 6.6kWh power source. DC charging further speeds up charging time from 30 to 80 percent in just half an hour.

Aside from the electric car’s reveal, Renault has not released much information regarding its launch in India. Auto industry experts are speculating it that it will go on sale sometime in 2022 and cost around INR 10 lakh (approx. PHP 714.7k).
