Chhattisgarh-based startup RedMoto XEV is working towards launching three new electric vehicle models. It will be available to buyers in the Indian market from May 21 this year.
The company claims that the upcoming E-2 wheelers will be affordable on the fuel cost as they will consume less electricity while charging. Following testing under the prescribed standards, the company claims that the electric two-wheelers can travel about 1,000 km at a cost of Rs 200.
Founder and CEO Jitendra Kamavisdar said that his company is almost prepared to sell these E-vehicles to people at an affordable price with better design. He added these E-bikes will prove to be the first such affordable bikes that will cost between Rs 80,000 to Rs 85,000 while the scooters would cost in the price range of Rs 65,000 to Rs. 72, 000
The company claims these electric two-wheelers can run up to 60 km in a single charge of four hours. The low-speed units feature a 48V system, with an optional battery type of Lithium or VRLA. All thee e-vehicles (R3X, R1X, R5X) are ICAT tested in the low-speed category.
RedMoto XEV will launch all three variants in Chhattisgarh initially and will be later made available to consumers in other states as well.
The company claims that there will not be much expenditure on the maintenance of these vehicles, which will reduce the extra burden on the pockets of consumers.
The electric vehicle segment in the country is growing but still at its initial stage giving opportunities to new startups to create affordable and sustainable products for the end-users. The government is also supporting them with the view of creating the best solutions to the rising problems.
