Vayve Mobility, an emerging electric vehicle start-up, has launched the all-electric Eva at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025. Promoted as India’s first solar-powered vehicle, the Eva offers a solar-recharged range of 3,000 km annually. First showcased at the 2023 Auto Expo, this production-ready model’s bookings are underway and here are its variant-wise prices: 

Vayve Eva: Design

The Eva is a tiny electric car, similar to a quadricycle. It's comparable to the Citroen Ami available internationally, but even smaller than the MG Comet EV, except for its length and wheelbase.

The EV has a quirky exterior design and its body is narrower towards the rear. You get modern elements such as connected lighting elements. 

Vayve Eva: Interior and Features

Inside, the Eva accommodates two passengers in a cockpit-like setup sitting behind each other.

The cabin is equipped with a two-spoke steering wheel, dual screens – a driver’s display and an infotainment system supporting Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with air conditioning.

Additional features include a glass roof and a 6-way powered driver’s seat. For safety, the Eva comes with a single driver’s airbag.

Vayve Eva: Powertrain

The Eva gets three battery pack options: a 9 kWh, a 12.6 kWh and a 18 kWh battery pack with an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance for all. They get paired to a rear-mounted electric motor. The motor generates upto 20 PS of power, offering a top speed of 70 kmph and a 0-40 kmph acceleration time of 5 seconds. The claimed range is 250 km on a single charge.

In terms of charging, the Eva supports both AC and DC charging. It takes 5 hours to charge up from 10-90% using a 15A socket and it fast charges up from 10-90 percent in just 20 minutes. A standout feature of the Eva is its solar roof, which generates power from solar energy, adding an additional 3,000 km of range annually, or 10 km daily.

Vayve Eva: Rivals

The Eva’s bookings are already open. While it currently has no direct rivals, the closest competitor in the market would be the MG Comet EV.
