And you do it all without the guilt of emissions, as this beauty churns out less than 100 grams of CO2 per kilometer.
With a battery range of around 100 kilometers, the Alfa is designed to tackle the harshest conditions, starting up even at a bone-chilling -39°C.

And for those looking to push the limits, DC charging is on the horizon for the production series, promising even quicker turnarounds.
Driving the Alfa is not just about utility; it’s about the experience. The Öhlins suspension smooths out the ride, while the 3.5-inch circular display keeps you informed without clutter. It seats up to two, with a total length of 3.1 meters and a width of 1.2 meters, making it a comfortable and manageable beast in the wilderness.
