Presently, there's a buzz in Sri Lanka surrounding Moksha, a vehicle manufactured by Ideal. According to Ideal's website, Moksha proudly stands as Sri Lanka's first domestically produced full electric vehicle. Although categorized as a Quadricycle, it boasts more advanced features compared to previous Quadricycles in Sri Lanka.
The distinctive front and rear designs of Moksha draw inspiration from the Mini Moke car. Despite its Quadricycle classification, Moksha prioritizes sustainability and is compact, making it ideal for navigating congested urban areas.
When evaluating the features of the Ideal-manufactured Moksha, it fits into the Full Electric Vehicle category. It features a Rear Wheel Drive System, four doors, and accommodates four passengers in addition to the driver. Moksha's dimensions measure 2.85 meters in length, 1.4 meters in width, and 1.55 meters in height, with a wheelbase of 1.89 meters and a ground clearance of 0.22 meters. This design makes it suitable for both urban and rural environments, with a monocoque metal frame and a body made from a combination of metal and plastic.
In terms of performance, Moksha boasts an estimated range of approximately 200 kilometers and a top speed of 60-70 km/h. It relies on a lithium-ion battery with a main battery pack rated at 72V and a capacity of 3124h. Charging the battery pack fully typically takes around 8-10 hours.
The gear selection in Moksha offers three modes: Reverse, Neutral, and Forward. It utilizes a Coaxial spring with MacPherson strut for the front wheels and Twin Pivots Trailing Arms Coaxial Spring Dampers for the rear wheels. Disc brakes are employed for both the front and rear wheels.
This innovative vehicle is set to hit the market in November at a price point of approximately Rs. 4,500,000/=. However, when comparing its price to another Quadricycle with similar features, which costs roughly $5,000, it amounts to about Rs. 1,500,000/= at today's dollar exchange rate. This price difference may pose challenges for prospective buyers considering a Quadricycle purchase.
