The development of NLV, the weight of the armed forces a total of four hundred and fifty kilograms and does not contain hazardous substances or heavy metals in lithium-ion batteries used in most other car manufacturers.
NLV claimed that the armed forces of the system that may be charged at full capacity within 20 minutes, so that a range of 500 kilometers vehicles. Help to extend the scope of a solar cell are known as thin coatings are applied to vehicles shutdown body. Finally, the special is also equipped with brake energy recovery system.
The quantitative measures 4879 millimeters in length, using a dual gull-wing doors, and can accommodate four adults. Internal features include a variety of information display, three zone climate control, and LED detail.
