City Transformer CT-2 EV from Israel is kinda perfect for Indian Crowded Streets

City Transformer, an Israeli electric vehicle (EV) startup, aims to address the issue of manoeuvring around tight turns, comfort and safety in big cities but with a lot of people, just like in Indian cities. City Transformer has unveiled the CT-2, a small urban EV that claims that while its battery power eliminates emissions, it is also agile enough to navigate city traffic and that its small proportions make it ideal for congested parking spaces.

The City Transformer CT-2 is narrow enough to fit into most alleys and bylanes, measuring only 1 metre wide. The company also claims that four such units can fit into the parking space normally occupied by one conventional vehicle.

The City Transformer CT-2 is not a vehicle for families and at best, it can transport a driver and a passenger or be used for last-mile delivery.

This EV manages to offer a claimed range of 180 kilometres despite weighing only 450 kilogrammes, which is less than the battery weight of some high-end EVs around the world. In performance mode, it can reach speeds of up to 90 kmph.

City Transformer intends to bring the model to mass production lines in late 2024 from a factory in Western Europe. The search for a location has begun. The company is reportedly looking to first target European markets, with the CT-2 pricing expected to start around $16,000 (approximately 13 lakh). This could be reduced if the company is able to obtain customer subsidies.
