The EV maker will deploy over 100 Supernova and Supernova Plus fast charging stations.

The Bangalore-based EV startup Ultraviolette has launched its new DC fast-charging network called UV Supernova. The manufacturer has unveiled two fast charging options for users: 6 kW and 12 kW charging networks; the former is named Supernova, while the latter is Supernova Plus.

In the first wave of station deployment, the EV maker will deploy over 100 Supernova and Supernova Plus Fast Charging stations. Currently, ten charging stations have already made their mark in Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, and Karnataka. The company has strategically selected locations, like major highways alongside popular cafes, to provide a more enhanced and convenient experience to its customers.

All the new Supernova DC fast charging stations will get Type 6 connectors, which are based on the BIS-assured IS17017-2-6 (IEC 62196-6) Standard. The Ultraviolette 6 kW charging stations are equipped with twin 3 kW DC fast charging guns, whereas the 12 kW charging stations feature dual 6 kW DC fast charging guns. Both networks are also compatible with the Boost charger that one can select for the F77.

As of now, the Ultraviolette F77 is available as the fastest electric two-wheeler in the Indian market. In the two-wheeler EV segment, it holds the position of offering the largest battery set. The F77 is currently the only model available in the brand’s portfolio. It comes in two variants: original and Recon. The standard F77 variant draws power from a 27-kW motor that churns out 85 Nm of torque. The motor draws power from a 7.1 kWh battery that has a certified IDC range of 206 km on one charge. The premium F77 Recon is powered by a mid-mounted 29 kW electric motor generating 95 Nm of torque. This model comes with a certified top speed of 147 kmph.

The Co-Founder and CEO of Ultraviolette, Mr. Narayan Subramaniam, commented on the setup of the UV Supernova charging stations in the country and said that "The debut of Ultraviolette SUPERNOVA charging stations is a transformative milestone in our commitment to delivering a seamless and user-friendly charging infrastructure for our customers. The sole purpose of this initiative is to facilitate intercity and cross-country travel for our F77 customers, and we are confident that this will play a pivotal role in propelling the growth of electric mobility, solidifying Ultraviolette's position as an industry leader. These charging stations by Ultraviolette are a big step towards cleaner, more efficient mobility and will redefine the future of electric motorcycle travel in India. Combining the industry-leading 307 km IDC range of the F77 with the expansion of the SUPERNOVA and SUPERNOVA PLUS charging stations, our customers can embark on thrilling adventures beyond city and state borders.”
