Base variant could be priced around INR 8 lakh, according to the report.

Overdrive reports that the Mahindra e-Verito electric vehicle will launch in India on June 2. The e-Verito has been a long time coming since they unveiled the full electric sedan way back at the Auto Expo 2012.

The e-Verito was again showcased to the Indian public at Auto Expo 2014 and Auto Expo 2016. Company officials had divulged to Overdrive that the model showcased was production-spec, and was expected to be launched in April 2016. It is the second full electric vehicle from the Mahindra Group, with first being the Mahindra e2o.

The Mahindra e-Verito is powered by a 72 V 3-phase AC induction motor that produces a maximum of 30.5 kW (41 hp) and maximum torque of 91 Nm. The sedan is capable of a company-claimed top speed of 86 (+/-2) kmph. When driven with a light foot, the e-Verito has a total range of 100 km on a full charge.
