The Jest Electric is equipped with a BMW electric motor producing 170 HP power and 290 Nm torque with optional 44 or 88 kWh batteries again made possible by BMW. The range stated by Karsan is up to 210 km, also thanks to a regenerative braking system which provides energy recovery by enabling the batteries to self-recharge at a rate of 25%. The e-bus is decorated with a 10.1-inch multimedia touchscreen, fully digital dashboard, keyless go, and USB ports as well as an optional WiFi compatible infrastructure. 

Speaking about the development, Karsan Exports VP Deniz Çetin stated, “Our Karsan electric vehicles are in service in more than 30 European cities now. The e-Jest, which was the segment leader in the market in 2020, is still a favorite in the design and performance aspects. So in this context, we are extremely happy that we will be providing services to the coasts of the Adriatic with our e-Jest, which we delivered in Split, the second largest city of Croatia.”
