Kinetic Green Energy & Power Solutions has announced a breakthrough partnership with Exponent Energy to launch what they describe as India’s fastest charging technology for electric three-wheelers (e-3Ws). This rapid-charging solution targets both cargo and passenger e-rickshaw segments and promises to revolutionise fleet operations.
Cutting-Edge Fast-Charging Innovation for 3-Wheelers
-
The new charging system is designed to support L5 and L3 category e-3Ws, covering a wide range of vehicles, including high-payload electric loaders and last-mile passenger rickshaws.
-
Two of Kinetic Green’s popular L3 models—Safar Smart and Safar Shakti, as well as the cargo variant Super DX—are confirmed to take advantage of the 15-minute full charge.
-
For the heavyweight L5 “Safar Jumbo” loader, which requires more energy, the system helps reduce downtime significantly by enabling quick top-ups.
Technical Details & Reliability
-
The e-3Ws integrated with this technology will benefit from Exponent’s 3,000-cycle battery warranty, ensuring long-term operational stability and reliability for fleet operators.
-
Exponent already has a network of over 160 fast-charging stations across four major Indian cities, which will now include Kinetic Green’s fleet for seamless charging access.
-
The charging infrastructure is tightly integrated with Exponent’s cloud dashboard, which connects to Kinetic Green’s fleet management system. Fleet operators can now monitor real-time charge state, optimise charging schedules, and receive predictive maintenance alerts.
Operational & Economic Impact
-
According to Kinetic Green estimates, access to 15-minute charging could increase daily operating hours by up to 30% for e-3Ws. This translates into higher productivity, more trips, and better profitability for fleet owners.
-
The faster turnaround time powered by this rapid-charging solution represents a major step toward making electric mobility more viable and efficient for high-usage commercial fleets.
Strategic & Industry Implications
-
This partnership marks a significant leap for both companies in India’s last-mile EV mobility space, which has historically grappled with slower charging infrastructure.
-
It also underscores Exponent Energy’s rising influence in strategic EV infrastructure for commercial fleets and Kinetic Green’s commitment to innovating for fleet economics, reliability, and scale.
-
By enabling such rapid charging, Kinetic Green and Exponent could help lower the total cost of ownership (TCO) of e-3Ws and accelerate the adoption of greener transport in India’s bustling commercial ecosystem.
