engine or moving parts lagging the power output, the e2oPlus
provides an instant torque to zoom with maximum momentum from the very minute
its engines are cranked.


REVive®
REVive® is a first in the world feature by Mahindra Electric. On the rare
occasion that the car runs low on energy, REVive® can be activated to gain an
extra 5-10 kms of range, to help the user reach home or the nearest charging
station.
