Details regarding the powertrain are currently undisclosed, but expectations suggest the Punch EV will be offered in both a medium-range version with a 26kWh battery pack and a long-range variant featuring a 30 kWh battery pack. Utilizing the ZipTron powertrain, the Medium Range version may mirror the Tigor EV's powertrain, while the Long Range variant could adopt the powertrain from the base variant of the Nexon EV. Despite the unknown specifics, an estimated range of approximately 250-320km on a full charge is anticipated.
