In an official statement, PuREnergy CEO Rohit Vadera said "We are constantly innovating keeping in mind the requirements of middle-class Indian consumers. In this COVID-19 pandemic scenario, thrust on personal mobility has increased significantly and people are looking for electric scooters at affordable prices,". The E-Trance+ will further come equipped with a strong chassis design, Indian road conditions attuned body parts and regenerative braking with a digital indicator for showing battery capacity.
"We are confident that this model will meet the requirements of the majority of customers looking to buy EVs for their daily short commutes," Vadera further added in his statement to the media outlets.
PURE EV is planning to increase its manufacturing capacity with a move to a bigger facility with an annual capacity of 2 Lakhs (EVs) and battery manufacturing capacity of 5 GWh. This will be an improvement on the current abilities of 20,000 EVs and 0.5 GWh. The increase in manufacturing ability is possible due to the new 2 Lakh sq. ft plant scheduled to be commissioned during 2021. The shift to a bigger manufacturing plant is due to the rise in the demand for electric vehicles and Li batteries in India.
