Most of you probably wouldn’t believe that this car can do 0-100 km/h or ~0-60 mph in just 4.4 seconds when you can see it for the first time. Well, it can do that, and it can travel up to 265 miles or ~426,5 kilometers on a single battery charge.
The most powerful model pushes 416 hp (306 kW) and torque of 443 lbs-ft (601 Nm). It is equipped with a 85 kWh battery pack. These are pretty solid numbers for an all-electric 4 door sedan.
Less powerful models are available with different battery packs – 40 kWh and 60 kWh. 40 kWh version models pushes 235 hp (173 kW) and torque of 310 lbs-ft (420 Nm). 60 kWh version models pushes 302 hp (222 kW) and torque of 317 lbs-ft (430 Nm).

As you can see, even the least powerful model isn’t that weak, and its performances are very good.
