PMV EaS E

The PMV EaS E is a compact two-seat electric car from PMV Electric, priced at ₹4.79 lakh (ex-showroom) in India. It targets buyers who want a small, low-cost EV for city errands and short commutes rather than a full-size family car.

Range and charging

A claimed range of 160 km comes from a 10 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. That is an optimistic cycle figure; in mixed city driving with air conditioning on, expect a little less, so treat it as a city-car range rather than a highway figure. Fast charging is supported, although the listing does not state a specific charge-time figure, so a regular home or AC charge is the realistic daily pattern for a battery this size.

Performance and driving

A 13.41 bhp motor drives the front wheels through an automatic transmission. That modest output suits the EaS E's role — it is not a fast car, but it is an easy one around town. Regenerative braking is standard, which adds a little range back under braking and reduces brake wear.

Practicality and safety

Seating is for two, with a 30-litre boot for shopping or luggage — enough for a daily run, not a big family trip. The safety package is strong for the segment: a 4-star Global NCAP rating, driver, passenger and side-front airbags, and ABS with EBD on a front-disc, rear-drum setup. Air conditioning and power steering are standard.

Who should buy it

The PMV EaS E suits a second-car buyer or city commuter who wants electric running costs without a large outlay. Its two-seat layout and small boot rule it out for families. If you need space for more than one passenger, look elsewhere; if you want a low-cost, safe electric runabout for city streets, it is a genuine option.
