Furthermore, it also is said to 320 kWh battery, has a tremendous speed. Imagine though armed with an electric power, this car only takes 5 seconds to be able to run from 0-100 kph, and can reach a top speed of up to 250 kph.

It is said to be able to cover the distance of 300 km, the battery needs to be charged within 30 minutes using a fast charge. And took 6 hours to make the battery full with  the standard electrical home connection.
Another plus is also embedded in it, call the car has All Wheel Drive system, modular chassis, and others. Luxury interior is also reflected by having infotainment system and touch screen connection.
