Kinetic Green, an electric vehicle manufacturer, has launched an electric scooter, ZULU, designed for the youth, at an introductory price of Rs 94,990 (ex-showroom, Mumbai.)
The new e-scooter, ZULU, is now available at all Kinetic Green dealerships nationwide and on Amazon and Flipkart.
Zulu will offer first-of-its-kind “Battery as a Subscription” plans and a fast-charging, long-life Lithium-ion battery with oil-cooled immersion technology, noted the press release.
In the "Battery as a Subscription" model, the customer can subscribe for the battery on a “pay as you use” model, reducing the initial purchase cost of the scooter and eventually, can also own the battery at the end of the subscription term.
This structure results in a reduction of more than 35% in acquisition cost and great savings on running costs as well. The system is fully integrated with a mobile app for a seamless user experience, the press release noted.
Kinetic Green will introduce a cutting-edge “KG Ener-G” battery platform in ZULU. At the heart of it is the patented Oil-Cooled Active Immersion Cooling Technology. This allows for excellent thermal management, Ultra-fast charge up to 80% in just 30 minutes, even with a 15-Amp Socket, and still have the ability to provide over 120,000 kms of mileage. All this is integrated via SMART BMS and an AI-based Battery Health Prediction System.
