Okaya EV, the electric vehicle division of Okaya Power Group, has unveiled an exciting range of electric 2Wheelers. The company said ‘Okaya Electric 2Wheelers’ boasts stunning modern looks and are equipped with cutting edge latest technology. Together with the launch of these new-age electric 2Wheelers, Okaya EV has also launched its experience centres in Delhi and Jaipur.
Designed exclusively for Indian road and weather conditions, ‘Okaya Electric 2Wheelers’ are also equipped with all the required technologies to manage increasing volatility of Indian power conditions. Okaya’s electric 2Wheelers are available in four variants, both in VRLA Lead Acid Battery and Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) Battery. Offered in a multitude of colours from white, red, blue to black, green, brown and beige, Okaya EV has launched these electric 2Wheelers in two variants: AvionIQ series and ClassIQ series.
Okaya EV has already set up a manufacturing plant in Baddi, Himachal Pradesh with its plans of starting another plant in Haryana for the seamless supply of these state-of-the-art ‘Electric 2Wheelers’. Meanwhile, Okaya EV has also announced three more manufacturing plants spread over 34 acres to be launched in Neemrana from 2023 to 2025.
Anil Gupta, Managing Director, Okaya Power Group, said, “Combined with two state-of-the-art research and development centers exclusively for electric vehicles in India and one overseas, OKAYA EV is uniquely placed to bring out electric 2Wheelers and bikes of future.”
Further, to ensure seamless supply of these electric 2Wheelers, he said they aim to open showrooms as well as distribution and service centres all across the country. “Moreover, we have immediate plans to roll out four products under this segment in this financial year and all these products would be fully made-in India and add velocity to the Government’s dream of one crore Electric Scooters on Indian roads by 2025.”
Through electric 2Wheelers, Okaya EV said it has addressed three major problems which are preventing consumers from going electric. First problem which consumer faces is lack of the availability of good quality spares and services as most of the electric scooters sold in the country are import-based. Moreover, it said these vehicles are not suitable for Indian roads hence consumers have to suffer. Second problem is that a lot of startups are selling electric scooters in the country but they lack proper infrastructure, finances and professional support to handle supply chain. The third problem is that currently most of the electric scooter manufacturers in India come from their petrol scooter manufacturing background with hardly any expertise in electric vehicle industry.
However, Okaya EV believes that in electric Scooter what matters is its battery, electronics and software. “Okaya EV is uniquely qualified to make India proud in electric scooter industry due to its 31 years of expertise in battery manufacturing, coupled with 35 years of electronics excellence through Microtek and 19 years of Okaya Infocom software experience,” the company said.
Further Okaya is supplying batteries in EV segment since 2016-17 and is supplying EV chargers, charging stations since 2019, thus emerging as a key player in India’s mission to create EV Charging infrastructure. As a group it has over 11 crore customers being serviced in over 4,60,000 villages and towns with its own service team and well-developed spares and product distribution system across India.
