The EV startup said the Eva can offer a range of up to 250 kms on a single charge and 3,000 km free on solar annually. The Eva offers super-fast charging thanks to its high voltage powertrain technology. The startup claims the solar-powered electric car can add 50 kms of range in just five minutes.
