Energy-tech startup Exponent Energy has entered the retrofit segment with the launch of ‘Exponent Oto’, a rapid-charging retrofit solution that converts internal combustion engine (ICE) three-wheelers running on CNG and LPG into electric vehicles.
How does the retrofit process work?
In a 24-hour process, all engine-related components such as the engine block, gearbox, fuel tank, and exhaust, are removed and replaced with Exponent’s Piccolo battery pack, CX1 e^port, motor, and drivetrain.
The CX1 e^port is a rapid-charging interface.
Retrofitted autos can charge fully in 15 minutes, offer a range of 140–150 km and accelerate from 0–30 km/h in under 4.5 seconds.
Exponent also promises zero down payment, flexible EMIs, an assured buyback after three years and savings of up to Rs 5,000 a
