Developed by Log 9 Materials, these batteries will have 15,000 charge cycles. Adding to the peace of mind will be a class-leading 15-year warranty. The Rapid charging batteries will have a range of around 65 to 100 km when fully charged. Omega Seiki says that this is the first time that fast charging technology is being introduced in electric three-wheelers in India.
Dr. Akshay Singhal, Founder & CEO, Log 9 Materials, said, "India needs battery technologies built ground up based on local conditions, requirements and usage patterns. This has been the underlying thesis of our technology development at Log 9 Materials. Our RapidX battery technology addresses the core challenges of high downtime due to charging, low reliability due to dropping power in the vehicle during discharge and rapidly degrading range of the vehicle as the battery gets old. This will drive adoption of EVs in the last mile sector where there is a huge pent up demand."
