Overview
In a world where cities are getting more crowded and roads more congested, PMV Electric Private Limited, a Mumbai-based startup, has introduced a solution tailor-made for the urban Indian commuter — the PMV EaS-E. Launched on 16th November 2022 at a starting price of ₹4.79 lakh (ex-showroom), this micro electric vehicle marks the brand’s entry into the personal mobility segment.
Though it resembles a car, the EaS-E is technically a quadricycle, built with practicality, affordability, and sustainability in mind. With dimensions smaller than even the Tata Nano, it’s designed to weave through tight traffic and squeeze into compact parking spots with ease. Despite its size, it packs a surprising range of tech-forward features, proving that good things truly come in small packages.
The EaS-E has already garnered attention, receiving 6,000+ pre-orders from both India and international markets. With three driving range options — 120 km, 160 km, and 200 km — this electric microcar offers a cost-efficient commute at just 75 paise per km.
