  "account": "iCaur has revealed details of its fourth quarter debut range-extending electric vehicle (REEV) model, the 03T REEV, ahead of its market launch. This new addition to the brand's lineup will join the V27 as the second range-extending electric model, and is expected to become the flagship above the two EV-only models. The 03T REEV is differentiated visually with an open lower air intake, a new upper grille panel, and exhaust outlets. Powered by a 33.6-kWh battery pack and a single rear axle electric motor, the 03T REEV delivers 185kW/300Nm of power. This electric powertrain is supplemented by a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine, which functions solely as a generator and is not connected to the drive wheels. The vehicle boasts an all-electric range of 190km and can accelerate from 0-100km/h in 7.9 seconds, with a top speed of 170km/h. The 03T REEV can be charged to 30-80% in 20 minutes using a DC fast charger. While specific combined output figures and pricing have not yet been disclosed, projections suggest the 03T REEV could be priced higher than the all-electric, all-wheel drive variants, which retail at R699,900. Safety and driver assistance features include front and rear parking sensors, a tyre pressure monitor, a 540-degree surround-view camera, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and lane keep assist.",
  "summary": "03T REEV will get from 0-100km/h in under eight seconds and do a claimed 190km on its electric hardware alone.",
