The project of the Russian electric crossover E-Neva is frozen

Kommersant found that the defense concern “Almaz-Antei” suspended work on a promising platform for electric vehicles, on which it was planned to build a “green” crossover. It was assumed that the model would be launched in production at the former Toyota plant in St. Petersburg in 2026, but this would not happen. There are two reasons: firstly, the development did not receive funding, and secondly, the military enterprise is overloaded with the main tasks.

E-Neva was not heard for a long time: the last time they remembered a year ago, when the Ministry of Industry and Trade was assured that the project was not closed, the development of an electric car continues, but “this is not a quick process.” However, it was already reported that Almaz Antei was “overloaded with the main tasks”. Now it has become known that the concern has neither personnel nor financial resources to bring to a civilian electric car, since it did not receive support from the state.

The former Toyota plant in St. Petersburg continues to earn millions of Putin showed the Russian E-Neva crossover in Altai test the E-NEVA electric car, which is called Russian Tesla

E-Neva was called the Tesla Russian answer. The Obukhov Plant, owned by Almaz-Antey, together with the St. Petersburg Polytechnic University of Peter the Great, worked on a skateboard-platform and an electric crossover based on it. A prototype was built, which reached 4.5 meters in length and was equipped with two electric motors with a total capacity of 435 horsepower. They were fed by a battery with a capacity of 90 kilowat hours, on one charge of which an electric car could potentially drive up to 463 kilometers. Acceleration from a place to 100 kilometers per hour – 2.7 seconds.

Other details were given about the serial version of the model. A few years ago, an approximate price of four million rubles was called – for example, the Moskvich 3e electric crossover, excluding the State Subsidium, costs.

They planned to produce E-Neva at the former Toyota plant in St. Petersburg, whose design capacity is 100 thousand cars a year. After the departure of the Japanese car manufacturer from Russia, he went under the control of FSUE by us and is still in a simple one.
