Lectrix EV’s battery swap network for these 1000 bikes will also ensure that ZEVO’s riders can swap batteries on the move, eliminating concerns about battery drain and range anxiety. It will reduce downtime and help riders in earning more. This feature not only provides peace of mind to riders but also enhances the overall experience of electric vehicle usage, making it more convenient and user-friendly.
ZEVO will also have access to Lectrix Ev’s comprehensive eco-system integration. This partnership aligns with ZEVO’s committed and concerted efforts towards sustainability thereby contributing significantly to a greener India. Lectrix EV offers a seamlessly integrated ecosystem comprising vehicles, battery solutions, and a robust battery swap network. This end-to-end solution will ensure a hassle-free experience for B2B fleet companies, like ZEVO streamlining operations and maximizing efficiency.
