The 120kW DC capability provides a 30–80 per cent charge in 22 minutes.
The L6 EV is built on Lepas' LEX Platform, a new-energy architecture.
It comes with an integrated 12-in-1 electric drive system, with electric power steering and an electric brake booster as standard.
The L6 EV features Bosch IBP 2.0 braking technology which has been developed to improve braking performance, energy recovery and pedal feel.
