Mazda believes its new EV will be a strong enough performer to convert drivers of gas guzzler to the benefits of going electric.
First up the tech: the new Mazda EV has a relatively small battery, with a total electric power of 35.5. kWh in the form of a water-cooled lithium ion battery. Maximum output is 105kw – and Mazda is confident the battery will have a life span of about 160,000km.
The carmaker is keeping specific details of its battery close to its chest – and has yet to divulge the expected range for the pure EV.
