Remember it is not 'e-twenty'! It is 'e-2-o'. But let's keep aside the puzzling naming conventions of Mahindra with words ending with an 'o' sound. This quirky little car boasts the title of India's only full-electric vehicle on production, a car with no exhaust pipe and thus pretty 'Green'!
More than that, this car does have some of the cool technologies that shows some sense of futurity.

Worth to point out is the mobile interface applications of the e2o. Each car comes with an inbuilt GSM activated chip and an on-board computer that makes the difference. All you get is an e2o smartphone Android app, using which you can lock or unlock the car from anywhere. By a touch of a button, pre-cooling or pre-heating the cabin at a specific time is now easy.

The SOS feature REVive, as the company patented, gives you an extra 7-8 km driving range when the battery reserve dips below 10 percent. Touch a button, the feature alerts the company R & D and then they release the extra driving power. However, this can be done only three times to ensure that you do charge correctly and on time. The GSM chip sends data to the company about the car's driving and charge history and the condition of the vehicle. Electronics troubleshooting and any software upgrades can be done that prevents you from visiting the service center most of the time.
The car's on board electronics sounds great isn't it?? The e2o is a breakthrough in unfolding the future of car electronics and a good attempt indeed.
