The i-Van electric minivan is being prepared for launch in Russia – the new product will become the fifth model in the Evolute line, a Russian brand that produces refurbished Chinese cars at the Motorinvest Lipetsk plant. The i-Van is no exception – it is a Chinese Dongfeng LingZhi EV with different nameplates. The model has already appeared on the website of one of the official dealers with the mark “coming soon”: i-Van costs four million rubles.
The Evolute press service reports that the i-Van is adapted for Russian operating conditions. The electric van has a synchronous motor with a peak power of 122 horsepower, rear-wheel drive and a lithium iron phosphate battery with a capacity of 67.5 kilowatt-hours. The declared range on one charge is 400 kilometers. Slow charging time is 15 hours, and fast charging mode charges the battery from 30 to 80 percent in 37 minutes.
