500km driving on a single charge

The battery capacity is available to be optimized depending on the customer’s needs. Up to the driving range, the battery capacity can be increased from the basic 18kWh(230km), to 27kWh(350km) and 40kWh(500km).

Upgraded safety with low voltage 80V

We can see many electric vehicles with a high voltage (300Vdc) of system which can make a big danger to cause an electric shock during accidents. But “YEBBUJANA S4” has been applied a low voltage (80V) of system and secured the safety for the system and drivers.

Efficient charging method

As electric vehicles do not have sufficient charging infrastructure, “YEBBUJANA S4” has improved the charging limitations by applying multiple charging methods, slowing charging with single-phase of 220Vac and fast charging with three-phase of 380Vac.

“YEBBUJANA S4” has been manufactured with a new technology of using carbon fiber for the body floor and making the electric vehicle’s power train into a kit. So, it does not need a big manufacturing cost and facilities to manufacture. It is designed very simply so that people who even have just small scale manufacturing facilities can easily assemble the components according to the manual.
