EV Small Talk
1

Interested in a safe, fun to drive and good looking electric car?
Well saab (NEVS) will in April 2014 start to deliver 200 eSaabs (preordered EV’s) to china and then produce EV’s to Sweden and the rest of the world. The dates are approximate
National Electric Vehicle Sweden AB (Nevs) is the new owner of Saab automobiles.
To start up the line and get their huge factory running they are now producing petrol cars but will then focus on making EV’s.

The EV that Saab soon will start to produce is going to get the latest and best batteries.
The batteries will be made of litiumironfosfate with density of 146 Wh/kg.
The eSaab will also get a new Electric driveline.
And Saab has done about 100 updates to the chassi and body structure.
It will be a very good electric car…

A driving range of 280 km would certainly be very impressive!

Do you know what type of batteries this particular vehicle is using?

They are from China, Saabs own factory I think
