Bengaluru-based Pravaig Dynamics has come up with its first homegrown electric car that promises to step up the EV game in India. On Friday, the EV startup officially unveiled the Extinction MK1 premium electric car, completely made in India, ahead of launch some time next year.

There are some tall claims that are set to raise eyebrows of some of the other EV manufacturers in India, as well as those abroad. Consider this: An electric car with a range of more than 500 kms in single charge? Volkswagen ID.3 can barely do 500 kms yet. Tesla Model 3 performance variant claims a range of 507 kms in single charge. In India, the EV with the highest range is Hyundai Kona EV with a claimed range of 452 kms. MG ZS EV, which has a range 340 kms, is still in process to upgrade to a range of 500 kms. Even the newly-launched Mercedes EQC has a range of just 350 kms.
