e-Ashwa Automotive Private Limited, one of the fastest growing EV manufacturing brands in the country, has announced its entry into the electric auto segment with the launch of e-auto priced at Rs. 1,65,000/- (ex-Delhi showroom price). Aims to make the last-mile mobility not only convenient but also affordable and eco-friendly.
With the launch of e-auto, e-Ashwa aims to expand its electric 3-wheeler segments in order to strengthen its presence in EV. These heavy steel body e-autos will run on both Lithium Ion (3-4 hour charging time) and Lead Acid batteries (7-8 hours charging time) and available in different colours like Sky Blue, Green, Orange, Black and White. With a mileage of 90-100 kms and a maximum speed of upto 25 kmph, this budget e-auto is a good option for existing traditional rickshaw drivers looking at better options due to rising fuel prices to shift to eco-friendly, affordable and low maintenance auto.
Excited about entering into this new e-auto segment, Vikas Gupta, Founder & CEO, e-Ashwa Automotive, said, “We operate in the affordable electric mobility segment and autos are key enablers in bridging the last-mile mobility gaps. With the launch of e-auto, we want to make the auto driver’s journey much more convenient, environment-friendly and most importantly increase in earnings due to limited cost of running, maintenance and overall ownership.”
e-Ashwa has also launched 12 different models of electric 2-wheelers last year and has few electric 3-wheelers models under its own brand e-Ashwa. Under electric 3-wheelers, e-Ashwa has passenger 3-wheelers and cargo 3-wheelers.
