Telangana-based E-trio Automobiles has got ARAI approval for its retrofitted electric vehicle (EV) kits designed for the Maruti Alto and WagonR. The company is now gearing up to launch its EV kits in the Indian market.

E-trio Automobiles has developed its own controller and sources the retrofitted kits from China and South Korea. The company has been testing its cars for the past 2 years and aims to roll out at least 5,000 cars in the next year. It has a capacity to build 1,000 cars per month.

The Alto and WagonR-based EVs developed by the company do not require a conventional transmission. The cars have a claimed range of 150 km and some of their retrofitted cars have been tested at 210 km on a single charge. The battery is rated in excess of 3000 charge-discharge cycles. The Alto is claimed to have a 0-60 km/h time of 5 seconds while the recommended top speed is 80 km/h. 

E-trio Automobiles is working with technology guidance from an R&D team from San Francisco. It plans to get kit approvals for other models in India and is currently in talks with manufacturers in Japan and Thailand.
