As the Autopotok Telegram channel reports, AVTOVAZ Vice President of Engineering Evgeny Shmelev said at the “National Technological Revolution 20.35” conference in St. Petersburg that the plant is potentially ready to offer a whole range of electric vehicles on its basic platforms. Under one condition: if the state provides appropriate subsidies.

AVTOVAZ has no specific production plans yet – management only outlined the potential possibility of producing electric cars based on the LADA Niva Travel SUV and the LADA Vesta family, subject to the availability of financing. Just like the electric e-Largus model, the new products may be called e-Niva and e-Vesta.

Let’s not forget that in 2016 the factory showed the first prototype of the electric version of Vesta EV – it had a power plant of an electric motor of 82 hp. Of. and a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 25 kWh, which provided the sedan with a power reserve of up to 200 kilometers on a single charge.
