With this association with Log9, we will be taking this number exponentially high.

The ball is now in our court, and it is time for the industrial sector to rise up to the occasion,”  added Narang.

“We are happy to roll-out the festive season pre-booking offer of Rage+ RapidEV in partnership with Omega Seiki Mobility. With Log 9’s InstaCharge technology which allow 9x faster charging, 9x more battery life and 9x higher performance as compared to the existing EV batteries in the Indian market, these Rage+ RapidEV 3 wheelers will enable vehicle owners to save a lot of charging time, increase uptime, deliver more and thus make more money with deliveries per shift. The value propositions of the Rage+ RapidEV variants make them superlative and truly revolutionary offering for the commercial 3W EV market in India, and are also in alignment with Log 9’s fundamental promise of ensuring the three pillars – ‘power’, ‘performance’ and ‘peace of mind’ to our customers,” said Dr. Akshay Singhal, Founder & CEO, Log 9 Materials.

Following the closure of the online pre-booking event, representatives from Omega Seiki/Log 9 team will get in touch with those customers who made the partial payment in order to facilitate completion of the remaining payment process and formalities. The vehicle is expected to be dispatched and shipped to the customer within 4-6 weeks from the date when their pre-booking is made.

Both the variants of Omega Seiki’s Rage+ Rapid EVs consist of RapidX 6000 fast-charging batteries based on the flagship InstaCharge technology invented by Log 9 Materials, enabling the vehicles to get fully charged within 35 minutes. The batteries are designed to work within tough Indian weather conditions between operating temperatures of -30°C to +60°C, allowing up to 40,000 charge-discharge cycles and hence 10+ years of battery life, and will provide a range of 90km+ in a single charge when fully charged.

The Rage+ Rapid EVs also comes with ₹1 lakh buy back guarantee within 5 years (after the purchase); this buyback guarantee is a first in the Indian market and attempts to solve the challenges associated with resale value of EVs. Additionally, Rage+ Rapid EV offers a 5-year vehicle warranty and 6-year battery warranty. Log 9 will also be offering customers ‘InstaCharge on Demand’ (a phone-call-based EV charging service that brings Log 9’s high-power charger to the vehicle owners’ preferred location) and ‘InstaCharge App’ (a mobile app that guides a person in Bengaluru, Mumbai, Chennai, Delhi, and other metro cities to easily find in real time the nearest EV charging station based on their location).
