The idea of creating such an EV belongs to the teachers of the Volodymyr Dahl East Ukrainian National University, and the construction was undertaken by students of the Severodonetsk Polytechnic Professional College of the same university, as stated in the report by TRK Donbas.
As the deputy director of the college, Vladimir Alexander Shilov, told journalists, the car is almost entirely made of plastic (body and even windows), thanks to which its weight is less than a ton. The car is equipped with an electric powertrain and a traction battery that provides a range of 150 km.
Judging by the video, the electric car is made in a minivan (van) form factor. It has four seats and a spacious trunk. At the front, there is a minimalist dashboard with instrument cluster.
Alexander Shilov noted that the car is almost ready: all that remains is to install solar panels and make some refinements. The finished electric car should be shown in a month, after which it will find practical use, the teacher promised.
Another point that Shilov drew attention to is the low cost of the project. In terms of costs, it significantly surpasses existing analogues.
