Ultraviolette, a Bengaluru-based startup, has announced a new range of battery warranty packages for its flagship electric motorcycle, the F77. This move is aimed at providing customers with more options to extend the warranty of their motorcycle's battery ensuring long-term reliability and performance.
New Warranty Packages
- UV Care : The entry-level warranty package now offers coverage for up to 60,000 km, an increase from the previous limit of 30,000 km.
- UV Care+ : The mid-tier warranty package has been revised to cover up to 1 lakh km, up from the earlier 50,000 km limit.
- UV Care Max : The premium warranty package now provides an unprecedented coverage of up to 8 lakh km or eight years, significantly higher than the previous warranty figure.
Enhanced Battery Confidence
Ultraviolette claims that even after covering over a lakh kilometers, the F77's battery retains over 95% of its original rated capacity. This impressive performance underscores the reliability of the battery technology used in the F77 and provides customers with confidence in the longevity of their electric motorcycle.
Pricing and Availability
While Ultraviolette has not disclosed the pricing details for these new warranty packages, they represent a significant value proposition for F77 owners. It remains to be seen whether these warranty options will be made available to existing F77 customers.
Impact on EV Adoption
The introduction of such extensive warranty packages reflects the advancements in battery technology and its increasing reliability. With electric vehicles like the F77 demonstrating minimal battery degradation over time, consumer concerns about battery longevity are likely to diminish, potentially accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles in India and beyond.
