Can the Chetak 3501’s 153 km range be enough for urban Indian riders or is it still short of the mark?
An improvement over its predecessors, the Bajaj Chetak 3501 offers a claimed range of 153 km from a single charge. In the Indian electric scooter market, this range will put it in a competitive position. The debate around EV range anxiety is far from over, however, in a country where the charging infrastructure is currently still developing. Others contend that a daily urban commute is rarely more than 50–60 km round trip, and 153 km should be plenty. But others say it's still not enough, particularly for those who may need to use their scooters on longer trips or over several days without charging. Real world conditions such as traffic, weather, and riding style are also discussed about how they would affect this claimed range. Whether this is a good balance between battery size, cost and practicality, or if manufacturers should be aiming for bigger ranges to compete with petrol scooters is a common topic of conversation.
It's plenty for me! I commute 30 km a day, therefore I only need to charge once or twice a week. In fact, it's more convenient than having to stop at a petrol pump.
