India’s Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. says poor demand has prompted it to shut down sales of its electric e2o electric city car in the U.K., Reuters reports.
Mahindra introduced the entry-level car (pictured) in England last year in hopes of developing a European market for the $7,200 two-seater. The car can travel 120 km (75 miles) on a charge.
