LEVC TX electric car to be launched in India

The LEVC TX uses a plug-in series hybrid powertrain. It is said to have an all-electric range of 101 km.

London Electric Vehicle Company (LEVC) is partnering with Exclusive Motors Pvt. Ltd. to launch the TX electric car in India.

The LEVC is a subsidiary of China-based Geely. The TX was designed to comply with London's Taxi Private Hire regulations, which explains its London taxi-inspired design.

The car is based on a bonded aluminium chassis and is powered by a plug-in series hybrid powertrain. It uses a Volvo-sourced petrol engine and a 33 kWh battery pack that powers a 148 BHP electric motor.

LEVC claims that the TX can cover 101 km on a single charge, with a flexible range of over 510 km. The car runs in full-electric mode, and the petrol engine takes over when the battery runs out.
