Mahindra Born Electric Concepts: What are they?

As the name suggests, Born Electric vehicles of both BE and XUV sub-brands will sit on Mahindra’s bespoke INGLO EV skateboard architecture. This allows Mahindra to modify the length, width, and wheelbase to produce multiple body styles on the same platform, reducing the costs and engineering efforts. 

The automaker has already confirmed that the RWD variants will produce between 230 bhp and 285 bhp of power output while the AWD models will pump out 340 bhp to 395 bhp of power. The AWD models’ dual motor setup will allow the SUVs to have a 0-100 kmph acceleration time of around 5 seconds.

In terms of battery capacity, the Born Electric Concepts will use battery packs between the range of 60 kWh - 80 kWh, depending on the model. It will support up to 175 kW DC fast charging that can juice up the batteries from 0 to 80 percent in just half an hour.
