GM Daewoo Auto and Technology Co. has jumped onto the electric car bandwagon with Korea’s first full-speed compact sedan powered by a battery.
The automaker said Sunday that it would carry out test drives of “Lacetti Premiere EV” in Seoul by the end of October to explore market demands, customer acceptance and battery range.
It was jointly developed by General Motors in a project participated by about 50 companies including LG Electronics and LG Chem.
The vehicle’s driving range per charge is 160 kilometers, exceeding those of existing electric vehicles. It can reach 165 kph, the fastest for a vehicle of its type in Korea, the company said.
It is based on the gasoline-fueled Lacetti Premiere, GM Daewoo’s compact sedan, which is sold as the Chevrolet Cruze outside of South Korea.
The vehicle is equipped with a 31 kilowatt battery from LG Chem that generates a maximum power of 150 kilowatts. It features a propulsion system from LG Electronics.
