The electric rickshaw industry has experienced significant growth and plays a vital role in urban transportation in densely populated areas.
Battery efficiency and reliability are crucial for electric rickshaws, making battery replacement costs essential for managing operational expenses.
Factors influencing battery replacement costs include type (lead-acid vs. lithium-ion), capacity, brand, quality, and installation labor costs.
In India, lithium-ion batteries for e-rickshaws with 40-50 Ah capacity are priced between Rs. 35,000 to Rs. 40,000.
Higher capacity batteries like 60-70 Ah can cost around Rs. 50,000, offering longer ranges per charge.
Top suppliers like Exide Industries, Amara Raja Batteries, Eveready Industries, and Okaya Power offer various lithium-ion battery options for e-rickshaws.
Exide Industries provides lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries with capacities ranging from 35 Ah to 200 Ah, priced between Rs. 3,000 to Rs. 20,000.
Amara Raja Batteries offer lithium-ion batteries with capacities from 40 Ah to 150 Ah, priced around Rs. 50,000 - 55,000.
Eveready Industries and Okaya Power also supply lithium-ion batteries for e-rickshaws with varying capacities and prices based on configurations.
These batteries are valued for their energy efficiency, performance, and long-term reliability in electric three-wheelers.
