Mahindra has Updated its Policy Regarding EV Chargers

Mahindra has just revised their policies for EV chargers by making the charger and installation optional for BE 6 and XEV 9e SUVs under several conditions. 

Earlier, it was mandatory for Mahindra XEV 9e and BE 6 buyers to purchase a company-supplied charger, but the company has now made it optional for the buyers, under three important conditions:

Conditions

1. Your home or office should have appropriate provisions for a private charger.

2. You are already having a charger that is according to Mahindra’s safety parameters. 

3. For families buying 2 or more Mahindra electric SUVs, 1 charging point is enough. 

For other cars, Mahindra will continue to sell a 7.2 kW AC charger for Rs 50,000 and a 11.2 kW AC charger for Rs 75,000, which is mandatory to be brought with the electric SUVs.

Mahindra SUVs with Revised EV Policies

Mahindra BE 6: The Mahindra BE 6 features a 79 kWh battery pack, which comes only in the Pack Three top model, which can be juiced up in 8 hours from 0-100 percent using a 11 kW charger and 11.7 hours with a smaller 7.2 kW charger. Other BE 6 variants, ranging from Pack One to Pack Three Select, are packed with a smaller 59 kWh battery pack, which takes considerably 6 hours to recharge with the 11 kW charger and 8.7 hours with the 7.2 kW charger.

The on road prices for the Mahindra BE 6 with the 7.2 kW and 11 kW chargers are displayed below.

Mahindra XEV 9e: The Mahindra XEV 9e gets two battery packs, 79 kWh and 59 kWh, and with the 11 kW and 7.2 kW charger options with the BE 6, and because of this, the charging times with both wall chargers are identical with the BE 6. 

However, the XEV 9e does not get a Pack One Above variant, offered with the BE 6. Deliveries for both the electric SUVs will begin in mid-March. Check out the on-road prices for the XEV 9e.
