A lithium-ion battery, with a capacity of 27 kWh, powers the engine, enough for an autonomy of 80 kilometers covered in all conditions. The battery weighs no less than 410 kilograms and was placed instead of the engine, making the total mass to increase by 100 kilograms compared to the conventional version and lies between values of 2055 to 2162 kilograms, depending on the body type.
