This expansion is part of the company’s plans to take its total number of customer touchpoints across India to 1,000 by the ends of 2020. To better help the existing and potential customers understand the benefits of electric two-wheelers, Hero Electric has fostered the teams at both the dealerships to a holistic training program. The purpose of this training was to help the sales team to understand and then educate customers on the benefits of lithium-ion offerings from Hero Electric. Some of the benefits include:
- High energy density - Electric vehicles need a battery technology that has a high energy density, providing 10 times longer life than other technologies and last longer.
- Self-discharge – Lithium-ion cells self-discharge rate is typically around 5% in the first 4 hours after being charged, which is much lower than that of other rechargeable making it quick and smooth.
- Low maintenance - One major lithium-ion battery advantage is that they do not require any maintenance to ensure their performance, making the scooters efficient.
- No requirement for priming- Some rechargeable cells need to be primed when they receive their first charge. There is no requirement for this with lithium-ion batteries.
- Light Weighted – Providing almost 10 times more energy than other technologies, lithium-ion batteries are half the mass, reducing concerns about the kerb weight of scooters
- Pollution – As the need of the hour is green mobility alternatives, Li-ion battery is a great replacement.
Hero Electric offers attractive and value for money lithium-ion models across low-speed and high-speed category. As the leading electric vehicle brand, Hero Electric realizes that for EVs play a substantial role in protecting the environment lithium-ion batteries need to be more popularized and be offered in vehicles that are affordable. Hero Electric does that through assembling and quality-checking their lithium-ion batteries at their Ludhiana facility to make it India adaptable and as a result they last up to 5 years. Furthermore, lithium-ion batteries used by Hero Electric in their products are ultra-portable and have a maximum weight of 8kgs. Enabling users to combat the range anxiety associated with electric vehicles, these batteries can be conveniently charged at any 3-pin socket plug adding a dose of practicality for everyday users.
