RANGE

Thank you to the energy management of its lithium-ion energy and optimized by the deceleration and braking, the interval in the cycle European standard is 150 km. In practice, this is sufficient to cover most conductive pathways per day, of which 90% is actually less than 60 km.

It 's hard for 6 hours the battery again, using the traditional plug appliances. Fast-charge time with a special charging unit offers a 50% pay only fifteen minutes, or 80% in thirty minutes.

OPERATING COSTS UNBEATABLE

When you run between € 1.50 and € 2.00 per 100 km, the ion energy bill is unbeatable, whatever the state of charge used.Carried at night or during "rush hours" to get the costs can be reduced further and help to optimize the available electricity from power companies.

No compromise on safety

Standard equipment - six airbags, ESP, Electronic Brake force (REF), EBA (Emergency) - and the design of its structure, giving iOn the same level of security as a modern classic car.
