The serial production of the electric car Lada e-Largus began on September 25 in Izhevsk. However, the first planned batch of 500 vehicles has not yet been produced, according to 'Russian Car.' Assembly involves extensive fine-tuning operations. A series of successful crash tests were recently conducted. AvtoVAZ plans to reduce the cost of the model, including by moving the battery from the engine compartment to where the fuel tank is and increasing its capacity to 64 kWh from the current 61 kWh. The first batch of 500 vehicles will be allocated for specific orders rather than retail sale.
