E.Go shows E.Wave X with bigger range and more power

07 May 2022

The EV revolution has brought so many new companies to the market, sometimes it’s hard to keep up. Many of them come up with wild ideas only to disappear after 10 seconds of fame. Unlike e.go - German automaker who sold out entire production of its first model aptly named Life. They didn’t settle on laurels though, the plan was always to expand the model range and they just delivered. Say hi to e.wave X.

The car looks so good you just can’t stop smiling. Or you instantly hate it - in that case stop reading immediately before you get too dizzy with anger and start shouting at the screen. The car is just cute - there’s no other way to call it. Let’s start with the color - when was last time you’ve seen a car making lime green look this cool? It’s not a Lamborghini and it’s not Kawasaki either and yet it wears the color really well.

With those huge wheel arches hugging 18” wheels in contrasting black and with the roof bars the car looks rugged, it looks ready to go offroading at any notice. Yet, the only offroading it’ll ever see are the wild streets of city centers because this car is aimed at city dwellers.

It is a really comfortable 4 seater with big seats and room for two adults and two kids, the roof rails are not a decoration though and are designed to take a bicycle or two. Interior is nice and utilitarian with a big 23” screen taking up most of the dashboard and we have few physical buttons underneath it - perfect.

Let’s talk numbers - power is delivered by a single motor at the back, 80kW (107hp) is responsible for sprightly performance and the range comes at 240km (149 miles) which for city driving is plenty. When you run out of energy 11kW charger will replenish the battery. The car comes with three driving modes - Eco, Comfort and Sport, it can be pre-heated or pre-cooled right from the dedicated app. It has hill start assist, light and rain sensors and mirrors are electrically adjustable.

It’s not a small car though, its cute looks are deceptive. It is 166cm tall, 182 cm wide - those wheel arches - and 341cm long. Prices start at €24,990 and you can order yours now - we would suggest being quick with it, judging by the success of e.go Life - which wasn’t even half as good looking - it won’t take long for the next year’s production to sell out.
