Mahindra Genze Electric Scooter Spied Testing In India

A few weeks ago we brought to you an exclusive review of the Mahindra Genze electric scooter all the way from San Francisco. The Genze scooter is purpose built to be a workhorse with just one seat and a loading bay at the rear which gives it an immediate distinction as compared to the other two wheelers available in the segment. We knew Mahindra was testing the Genze scooters in India for reliability trials and now, one such prototype has been spied doing the test rounds. Although India is being used as a test bed for the electric scooter, it is however unlikely that it will get launched here anytime soon primarily due to price and segmentation reasons.

  New Nissan Leaf Gets Embroiled In 'Rapidgate' Electric Charging Scandal

  The New Nissan Leaf was launched last year and has already received quite a bit of praise from all over the world. An affordable all-electric offering, the Nissan Leaf is available in multiple variants, all fitted with a 40 kWh battery that offers 378 kms of range. While the more powerful version gets a standard DC quick charger fitted, for the lower powered version, the DC quick charger can be added as an optional extra. The DC quick charger can charge the battery up from zero to 80 per cent in just over half an hour, making longer trips possible. However, according to new information that has come to light, it seems that the number of times the Nissan Leaf's battery can undergo a quick charge in a short amount of time is restricted by the Japanese automaker.
