The Vayve Eva will be equipped with a high-voltage powertrain enabling super-fast charging and a 50 km added range in five minutes. The model will also include smartphone integration, over-the-air (OTA) updates, remote monitoring, and vehicle diagnostics. It also promises to have a lightweight design and engineering, ensuring low running costs and a reduced carbon footprint.
