Russian carmaker “Motorinvest” on Wednesday announced that it is launching the sales of its first locally-made electric sedans “Evolute i-Pro”.
“Motorinvest announces the launch of sales of Russian electric cars of the Evolute brand. It is the first electric car produced in Russia for the Russian market,” the company said in a statement, relayed by local media.
In late September, the Motorinvest plant in the Lipetsk region (500 km south of Moscow) started mass production of electric cars. The first model to roll off the assembly line is the Evolute i-Pro sedan.
The vehicle features a 150-horsepower electric motor and a 53 kW battery with an operating range of 420 km.
According to the TASS news agency, the buyers of the sedan will receive a subsidy of 925,000 rubles ($15,095).
The Evolute electric cars will be available in major Russian cities, including Moscow, St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Kazan, Voronezh, Lipetsk, Krasnodar, Rostov-on-Don, and Sochi.
An i-Joy crossover and an i-Van minivan are expected to arrive on the Russian market by the end of the year. In total, the company expects to produce 2,000 electric cars by the end of 2022.
