Flextron – ft.energy a leading innovator in electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions, is excited to announce the launch of FlexStack, a revolutionary Made-in-India rapid-charging technology that is set to transform the EV experience for two-wheelers. FlexStack offers 10-minute rapid charging, allowing EVs to charge at an impressive speed of 6 kilometers per minute, reaching 80% charge in just 10 minutes. This scalable solution provides fast charging with Battery-As-A-Service (BAAS), offering a seamless, low capex solution.
FlexStack‘s innovative design reduces charging downtime by 95%, increasing end-user productivity by 30%, which in turn boosts fleet operators’ subscriptions. It’s an ideal solution for fleet owners looking to enhance efficiency and increase the vehicle uptime. FlexStack offers easy integration with existing EVs at a minimal retrofit cost, eliminating the need for additional battery swapping docks for EVs. FlexStack can also be customized between 48V to 72V to meet different vehicle architecture, enabling multiple OEMs to adopt the technology and provide a competitive edge.
With a capacity of 2.5 kW and 50 AH at 52V, FlexStack charges from 0% to 80% in just 10 minutes, and comes with a 3-year standard warranty, with an option to extend for an additional 2 years. The system utilizes advanced liquid cooling technology for optimal performance and durability, with LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) battery chemistry ensuring safety and longevity.
Flextron is introducing a subscription-based model, starting at an introductory price of Rs. 2,400 per month, offering unlimited charging. This approach reduces upfront capex on the fleet operators and end users, making rapid charging more accessible and supporting widespread adoption of electric mobility.
“At Flextron, we take immense pride in our commitment to support the ‘Make in India’ initiative. Our battery packs are built with locally manufactured cells, making us one of the early adopters of an entirely homegrown fast-charging battery system for electric two-wheelers.” said Mr. Ameen Khan, CTO of Flextron. He added, “By introducing Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) and enabling rapid charging within just 10 minutes, we’re redefining the electric vehicle experience for EV Users. This innovation is poised to address the long-standing challenge of charging time..”
As part of its expansion strategy, Flextron aims to deploy 100 FlexGrid chargers in the next 90 days, to enable rapid charging in just 10 minutes with Flexstack, which provides 80-90 kilometers of range, setting new benchmarks for EV charging in India. FlexGrid chargers are priced competitively, being significantly less expensive than other GBT/CCS2 – DC chargers. Also the cost of FlexGrid chargers is one-third of the battery swapping stations, without the requirement of Grid Upgradation.
