Bajaj Auto has unveiled the updated Premium variant of its electric scooter, the Chetak EV, priced at Rs 1.35 lakh (ex-showroom). This represents a Rs 15,000 increase compared to its predecessor. The 2024 Premium variant introduces significant enhancements, including a larger 3.2kWh battery pack, resulting in an improved claimed Intrinsic Distance Covered (IDC) range of 127km. The electric scooter also boasts a higher claimed top speed, a new 5-inch TFT dashboard, and various additional features.

Enhanced Battery Capacity

?The highlight of the update is the adoption of a new 3.2kWh battery pack, a notable upgrade from the previous 2.88kWh unit. This enhancement contributes to the Chetak Premium's extended claimed IDC range of 127km, providing riders with increased riding range on a single charge.

Charging Time

?While the larger battery brings improved range, the charging time has also slightly increased. Achieving a 0-100 percent charge now takes approximately 4 hours and 30 minutes. This is a trade-off for the extended battery capacity and should be considered by potential buyers.

Advanced TFT Dashboard

?The 2024 Chetak Premium features a new 5-inch TFT dashboard, bringing it in line with modern EV standards. This display offers smartphone connectivity for features such as navigation updates, notification alerts, and music playback. However, it's important to note that these features, along with sequential indicators and the Sport riding mode, are accessible only with the optional Rs 9,000 TecPac.

Additional Features

?Retaining key features from the earlier model, the updated Chetak Premium includes hill hold assist, keyless ignition, and a reverse mode. These features enhance the scooter's convenience and safety aspects catering to the evolving needs of electric scooter enthusiasts.
