KAZAN, May 19. The cost of Russian Atom electric vehicles, the mass production of which is scheduled to begin in 2025, will correspond to the mass price segment — not premium , said the general director of the automaker Igor Povarazdnyuk.
“Now we can say for sure that the electric car will not be in the premium segment. It will be a mass segment, but unlike other brands and also Tesla, we are creating not only a new user experience, but also aim to meet the needs of the business, which is a very demanding approach to the cost of car ownership. Here, on the one hand, we are spurred on by business to do everything efficiently, on the other hand, we are trying to maintain functionality and make it optimal. But this will be a mass price segment,» he said, answering a question about price.
As Kama announced earlier in May, the electric car will be able to accelerate to 100 km/h in 7 seconds, with a range of 500 kilometers, depending on the model. In terms of comfort, «Atom» will correspond to the C/D-class, while it will be presented in compact dimensions: length will be 3995 mm, width — 1780 mm and height = 1615 mm. The Italian design bureau worked on the design of the electric car.
Kama Automotive Company was established in 2021 to develop a domestic electric vehicle. At first, the project received the name of the same name with the company, but was later renamed «Atom». The initial investors, approximately in equal shares, were Kamaz CEO Sergey Kogogin and businessman Ruben Vardanyan. //ria.ru/20230519/elektromobil-1872797288.html» data-title='Kama plans to produce about ten thousand electric vehicles in 2025'>
