In Russia, prices for two Evolute electric vehicle models produced at the Motorinvest plant in the Lipetsk region have been revised. The price of one of the electric vehicles has fallen sharply, while the direct discount on the second has increased.
We are talking about the Evolute i-Joy and Evolute i-Pro electric vehicles. The price of the first car in a single configuration has fallen immediately by 1,220,000 rubles, now it is 2,775,000 rubles. However, at the same time, the direct discount of 1,320,000 rubles disappeared.
Now, instead, a discount for early advance payment for the car in the amount of 100,000 rubles is offered. Taking this into account, the cost of the car is 2,675,000 rubles.
The Evolute i-Joy is equipped with an electric power plant, which includes an electric motor with a capacity of 163 horsepower (195 Nm) installed on the front axle and a traction battery with a capacity of 53 kilowatt-hours. The declared range on a single battery charge is 407 kilometers according to the NEDC cycle.
The Evolute i-Pro sedan has retained its previous cost, but when buying it, you can now get an additional discount of 465,380 rubles. Taking it into account, the cost of the car is 2,384,620 rubles.
Evolute i-Pro is the first model in the Evolute line. It is based on the Chinese Dongfeng Aeolus E70 car and is equipped with one electric motor with a capacity of 163 horsepower. Thanks to this, the car is able to accelerate to 100 kilometers per hour in just 9.5 seconds.
The range of the Evolute i-Pro is 405 kilometers according to the NEDC cycle, which corresponds to approximately 250–280 kilometers in real conditions. This became possible thanks to a battery with a capacity of 53 kilowatt-hours.
However, the demand for domestic Evolute electric vehicles is very modest. In 11 months of 2024, only 1372 cars were sold. The sales plan was only 11% fulfilled. Nevertheless, the Evolute brand is working on launching new models.
