Laboratorium. Russia’s first electric car built on its own platform

“Atom” is the country’s first mass-produced electric vehicle built on its own platform. Engineers developed it from scratch specifically for Russian conditions. It is not just a car but effectively a gadget on wheels. Unique ergonomics, innovative thermal regulation systems and a yoke-style steering wheel with a display – according to the developers, all of this was designed for comfort and safety.

What else distinguishes the new electric vehicle from foreign counterparts? And how comfortable is it to drive the car of the future?

The programme Laboratorium put it to a real test drive.
