Mahindra’s electric SUVs will come equipped with two Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery options—59kWh and 79kWh. Supporting 175kW DC fast charging, these batteries can be charged from 20 to 80 percent in just 20 minutes. The SUVs will feature an innovative three-in-one powertrain system that combines the motor, inverter, and transmission into a single unit. Power output for the rear-wheel-drive (RWD) variants will range between 228bhp and 282bhp, while the BE 6e is likely to offer both RWD and all-wheel-drive (AWD) configurations for enhanced versatility.
