It can run for more, even after up to 250 kilometers of initial charge as confirmed by the information on the company’s website. The car’s prototype was designed in Munich in 2017 and since then has been greatly improved on in terms of interior design, ride-sharing compatibility, and general body overhaul. Though the car is billed to hit the market in 2022, it may not be useful yet for very long commutes.
