Mahindra considering electric 2-wheelers for India

According to a media report, Mahindra is evaluating electric 2-wheelers for India. These could be developed specifically for the Indian market and are likely to be manufactured locally.

While Mahindra has been among the first brands to launch an electric vehicle in India, the company is yet to makes its foray into the electric 2-wheeler segment.

Mahindra does offer an electric scooter called the Genze 2.0 in the US. The same scooter has been spotted testing in India as well. However, reports suggest that since the Genze was developed for the US market, it costs more than double that of the Ather 340, which makes it unfeasible for India.

The Genze 2.0 is powered by a 1.6 kWh lithium-ion battery that has a maximum range of 48 km. It has a claimed top speed of 48 km/h.
