China-based EV maker Leapmotor plans India entry

The T03 is powered by a 70 kW electric motor and offers a range of up to 280 km (WLTP cycle).

Chinese EV maker, Leapmotor, is set to enter the Indian market. According to media reports, the company will be announcing its investment plans in the coming weeks.

Leapmotor plans to bring its EVs to India in partnership with the Stellantis group. Reports suggest that the two companies are likely to announce their India plans in the next few weeks. If the proposal is approved by the government, it would pave the way for Leapmotor’s budget electric cars to be launched in India.

Leapmotor currently has three EVs on offer. These include the C01 4-door sedan, C11 SUV and the T03 electric hatchback, which seem to be the most likely candidates for India, given the fact the report mentions budget EVs.

The T03 is powered by a 70 kW electric motor and offers a range of up to 280 km (WLTP cycle). It has 3 driving modes and 3 steering modes, among a host of other features.

Stellantis announced its partnership with Leapmotor in October last year. The company plans to acquire approximately 20% with an investment of US$ 1.6 billion.
