Battery-as-a-service company Yuma Energy and electric two-wheeler manufacturer Motovolt Mobility announced a partnership to deploy 15,000 M7 electric scooters for fleet operations by the end of 2026. The collaboration, announced in Bengaluru and Kolkata, will integrate Motovolt's multi-utility electric scooter with Yuma Energy's battery-swapping network to address range anxiety, charging infrastructure limitations, and high upfront battery costs in India's electric vehicle sector.
The partnership separates battery costs from vehicle purchase by enabling Motovolt's M7 scooters to access Yuma's battery-swapping network. Fleet operators and delivery partners will be able to swap batteries quickly instead of waiting for charging, reducing downtime and operational costs. The arrangement includes a lifetime battery warranty for end users.
Muthu Subramanian, MD & GM, Yuma Energy, said, "The M7 is a strong, well-built machine, and we're thrilled to power it with Yuma's next-gen battery and reliable swapping network. This partnership helps us build an ecosystem that puts riders first and accelerates India's electric future."
Tushar Choudhary, Founder & CEO, Motovolt Mobility, commented on the collaboration, "We are excited to join hands with Yuma Energy and help our customers, riders and fleet operators to leverage the benefits of green mobility. As a domestic OEM, we believe affordable and reliable electric two-wheelers can lead towards economic prosperity across urban and semi-urban areas. Keeping that in mind, we have developed vehicles that are high on utility and an asset for the consumer, like our M7. Through this collaboration, we aim to advance clean mobility in everyday lives as well as last-mile deliveries, and address the challenges in EV adoption for individual riders and fleet operators."
Yuma Energy operates a battery-swapping network that provides real-time battery insights and charging infrastructure. Kolkata-headquartered Motovolt Mobility, founded in 2019, has delivered over 35,000 vehicles that have covered more than 65 million kilometers, saved approximately 1.7 million liters of fuel, and offset 3.71 million kilograms of carbon emissions.
