Mahindra XEV 9e battery, range and charging
The XEV 9e comes with two battery options – 59kWh and 79kWh – both powering rear-axle motors. The 59kWh unit works with a 231hp motor, and the larger one takes it up to 286hp. But the torque is the same, at 380Nm. The 0-100kph sprint takes 6.8 seconds with the bigger battery pack.
The MIDC range on a single charge is 656km for variants with the 79kWh battery and 542km for those with the 59kWh unit. The charging is done by either 7.2kW or 11kW AC units, which have to be purchased separately, as mentioned earlier. With a 175kW DC fast charger, 20 to 80 percent charge comes in 20 minutes.Â
