On December 26, Izhevsk hosted a presentation of a prototype of the LADA e-Largus electric car, which was attended by the President of AvtoVAZ, Maxim Sokolov, and the Head of the Republic of Udmurtia, Alexander Brechalov. LADA e-Largus is the most localized Russian electric vehicle. At the time of the start of its pilot production at the LADA Izhevsk plant, the share of using components from Russian suppliers will be at least 50% (or 3600 points).

Presenting the e-Largus prototype, Maxim Sokolov said that the company plans to produce a pilot batch of e-Largus in Izhevsk in 2023. In turn, Alexander Brechalov noted that charging infrastructure will be developed in the republic in the coming years. Currently, there are 13 electric charging stations in Udmurtia, and there are plans to increase their number to at least 40. According to our information, the production of charging stations will be launched at one of the enterprises of Udmurtia. In addition, on the basis of the LADA Izhevsk automobile plant, it is planned to create an industrial park in which components for the entire electric transport industry will be produced. Judging by the numbers, the assembly of the e-Largus prototype presented at the event was not carried out in Izhevsk.
The company has already begun a cycle of road and laboratory tests of prototypes of the e-Largus electric vehicle, which will be produced in a passenger version and as a commercial van. Both versions will be equipped with a 110 kW (149.6 hp) permanent magnet synchronous electric motor. Lithium-ion batteries are located in the engine compartment and in the place where the gas tank was located, thanks to which the usable volume of the passenger compartment and trunk remained the same (560 liters in a five-seater version), and it was also possible to place the center of gravity lower to increase vehicle stability.
The e-Largus instrument panel allows you to control all its systems, charge level and range, which is 400 km with one driver and 100 kg of payload (according to the NEDC method). It takes less than 10 seconds to accelerate the electric car to 100 km/h, the maximum speed is 145 km/h (electronically limited). The total load capacity is 430 kg.
