The all new Hyundai i10 electric car was showcased at the Frankfurt Motor Show and will be powered by a 49 kW electric motor and a 16 kW lithium-ion polymer battery pack developed in collaboration with electronic giant, LG. 

The range is said to be 150 km with a top speed of around 130 kmph, with  85 per cent rapid charge within 15 minutes through a high-power 413 V outlet. The company believes that the fast-charging system is going to be the selling point of this green car.

Sources are suggesting that this new electric car will be tagged within a price range of Rs. 7 lakh – Rs. 9 lakh and set for a 2015 launch in competition with the Mahindra e2o
