, the Mitsubishi eK X EV features an optimized EV layout allowing it to have the same level of spaciousness and comfort of a kei-car while cramming in an EV motor and battery. The onboard 20-kWh lithium-ion battery allows for a maximum cruising range of 180 kilometers. Providing movement is a 47 kW electric motor. While the peak power is modest, it does generate a healthy 195 Nm of torque—more than, say, a Mitsubishi Mirage.
The eK X EV can be charged using both conventional AC or DC fast charging. A typical household outlet will top up the battery in about eight hours, while using a fast charger takes just 40 minutes to reach an 80 percent charge. Moreover, it employs a cooling system using the air conditioner refrigerant in the drive battery to control temperature rises in the battery, a high charge level can be maintained even after repeated high-speed driving and quick charging.
No word whether Mitsubishi will sell the eK X EV outside of Japan, but an Indonesian-assembled EV, thewill be shown alongside it. The Minicab-MiEV uses an EV system from the world’s first mass-produced EV, the i-MiEV. The single motor generates 41 horsepower from 2,500 to 6,000 rpm and 196 Nm of torque from 0 to 300 rpm.
In addition, thanks to placing the drive battery under the center of the floor, the EV components are installed without sacrificing capacity, thus ensuring a large cargo space . Furthermore, this battery placement gives the vehicle a lower center of gravity, resulting in steering stability and ride comfort.
