In a bid to roll out its e-scooter named JMT 1000HS Rapid supported by InstaCharged system, the Maharashtra-based Jitendra New EV Tech has signed a Memorandum-of-Understanding with Log9 Materials.
According to the arrangement, the vehicle maker will use Log9’s InstaCharge technology and pave the way for a long-term collaboration between the two companies.
Log9 Materials claims that their InstaCharge technology can fully charge the yet-to-be-launched scooters in 15 minutes. It also claims that its RapidX batteries are built to operate across -30° to 60° C and come with an operational life of 15,000+ cycles. In addition, the vehicle maker affirms a range of 82 km and 150 kg payload capacity with the e-scooters.
Kartik Hajela, Co-Founder & COO, Log9 Materials, said the company believes that its InstaCharge batteries on JMT scooters will provide the much-needed power, performance and peace of mind for the B2B last-mile delivery sector and shall further help the cause of reducing operational costs as well as lowering emissions footprint for the delivery and logistics sector. In addition, this also provides value addition opportunity in the commercial EV space due to the long life, superfast charging and improved performance of the electric scooters, which can help delivery partners to make more money per shift.
Samkit Jitendra Shah, Co-Founder, Jitendra New EV Tech, said, with India entering the electrification era, the biggest challenge is ensuring optimal EV charging. To this end, Log9’s technology will give the market huge impetus, especially for the B2B segment, and will further endorse 24x7 last-mile deliveries with electric scooters.”
