Jest Electric boasts the best electric performance!
 

Standing out with its high maneuverability, large interior space, agility on narrow streets thanks to its compact size, and unparalleled climbing performance, the Jest Electric is a favorite among Coimbra people. It is no surprise though, as this vehicle is also passenger-friendly with its 6 meter low-floor. The Jest Electric is equipped with a BMW electric motor producing 170 HP power and 290 Nm torque with optional 44 or 88 kWh  batteries again made possible by BMW. Offering the best performance in its class with a range of up to 210 km, the Jest Electric also boasts a regenerative braking system which provides energy recovery by enabling the batteries to self-recharge at a rate of 25%.
 

Decorated with a 10.1-inch multimedia touchscreen, fully digital dashboard, keyless go, and USB ports as well as an optional WiFi compatible infrastructure, Karsan’s Jest Electric does not come short in terms of comfort compared to passenger cars thanks to its 4-wheel independent suspension system.
