Rohit: I'm still on the fence about switching to an electric scooter. They seem like a pretty big investment.
Anya: I get that totally! But I visited a Lectrix dealership last week and they told me about their battery subscription model. And that blew my mind!
Rohit: Really? What’s that about? Sounds interesting.
Anya: Trust me, it is mind-blowing! You get all sorts of perks, from cost savings to a lifetime battery warranty. Let me share the details with you!

So, What Exactly is a Battery Subscription?

Let us first understand what the battery subscription model is all about. Pioneered by electric scooter manufacturer Lectrix EV, this disruptive model delinks the EV battery from the e-scooter to allow customers to buy an EV where the battery has been delinked.

Firstly, this significantly brings down their upfront cost by approximately 40%. Secondly, they can pay a fixed monthly fee of Rs. 999 to access the battery. This subscription fee includes the cost of battery usage, repairs and replacement. Lastly, the Battery-as-a-service (BaaS) model takes away all the hassles commonly associated with EV battery ownership, such as maintenance and replacement.

Key Benefits of Buying an E-Scooter with Battery Subscription Model

1.Cost savings

With an EV battery subscription, you can easily avoid the hefty upfront cost of purchasing a battery, which costs around Rs. 40,000-50,000. Plus, if you think about it, there’s no actual use of owning a battery.
Imagine it like this: you don’t need to own a petrol tank for your car; you just fill up at the gas station when you’re low on fuel. Similarly, with a battery subscription, you don’t need to purchase a battery outright. Instead, you can pay a monthly fee and have access to a battery whenever you need it, without the hassle of dealing with battery ownership issues.

2. Fixed monthly expenses

The best part of buying an e-scooter with a battery subscription is that it will keep your monthly transportation costs fixed, unlike a fuel-run scooter. With a petrol-powered two-wheeler, your monthly expenses keep increasing owing to the ever-rising costs of petrol.
However, with the BaaS model, your transportation expenses will remain fixed. Plus, you don’t have to worry about the unexpected costs of battery repair or replacement as those are included in your monthly subscription fee.

3. Lifetime battery warranty

Usually, EV manufacturers offer a battery warranty of 2-3 years or up to 30,000 km, whichever comes first. Now, if you ride a distance of about 50 km per day, then you’re likely to run out of the battery warranty sooner than expected. And you’ll face the impending costs of battery replacement, which can be as high as Rs. 40,000. However, with the Lectrix battery subscription model, you get a lifetime warranty for your e-scooter battery.

4. No more battery maintenance issues

One of the most common reasons riders feel hesitant to switch to an e-scooter is battery maintenance and issues. But with EV battery subscription, those worries are a thing of the past. Your subscription includes repair and replacement, so you don’t have to worry about unexpected issues or repairs. If something goes wrong, the subscription service inspects the damage and handles it, so you can stay on the road without hassle.

Flexible terms

Flexibility is another key benefit. You can pause and resume your subscription, depending on your usage. You can either notify the service provider about it in advance or simply do it from your mobile application. This means that you only pay for the battery when you’re using it.

The Bottomline

If you’re considering making the switch to an electric scooter, a battery subscription model could be just what you need to make your ride economical, efficient and enjoyable. With benefits like cost savings, lifetime battery warranty and flexible terms, this innovative model by Lectrix takes away the rider’s battery anxiety and enhances their riding experience.
