PURE EV

PUREnergy, a startup that got its start at IIT Hyderabad, has an electric vehicle vertical called PURE EV. The startup's goal is crystal clear in the acronym PURE, which stands for Power Using Renewable Energy. It focuses on figuring out ways to switch to renewable energy sources in order to save energy and protect the environment. One significant step has been the accomplishment of solar projects in numerous universities, schools, residential areas, NGOs, and hospitals, despite their primary area of expertise still being energy storage technology.

The company also provides energy-saving techniques through the use of electric two-wheelers and high-capacity lithium batteries. The brand names of the two products are "PURE EV" and "PURE Lithium," respectively.

Dr. Nishanth Dongari, an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at IIT Hyderabad, founded the business in 2016. IIT Bombay alumnus Mr Rohit Vadera is the company's manager. In addition to working with Ostro Energy for the development of wind and solar plants, he has work experience in the oil and gas industry with top international engineering firms in Abu Dhabi. PURE EV aims for large-scale production of electric vehicles and electric batteries with a dedicated setup of a 40,000-sqft state-of-the-art facility, co-located with Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad, and a manufacturing capacity of 2000 units per month. The company receives strong technological support as a result of its collaboration with the R&D facilities of IIT Hyderabad.

PURE EV currently offers six models, including the EPluto 7G, EPluto, and ETrance+ electric scooters. It also has two electric bikes, the Egnite and ETron+, as well as an electric step-through called the ETrance. All of these products, like the majority of EVs sold in India, are primarily designed for urban commuting and have top speeds of up to 60kmph. However, PURE EV's top-of-the-line EPluto 7G scooter boasts a remarkable range of 90–120 kph.

The company claims to have a top speed of 60 kmph and a load-bearing capacity of 150 kg. This e-scooter has a respectable list of features. Four-inch LCD screen, regenerative braking, LED headlight, and anti-theft smart lock are all included.

This company's presence in the nation is currently very minimal. There are therefore not many sales dealerships for this brand. As a result, getting your hands on an ETrance Neo will be challenging.

With a round headlamp, chrome-finished mirrors, plush body panels, and swooping lines all over, the EPluto 7G closely resembles the Vespa models and the new Bajaj Chetak in terms of design. With features like an LCD display, an LED headlamp, anti-theft protection with a smart lock, and regenerative braking, the feature list is about average.

 An Indian company called PURE EV makes five different models of electric two-wheelers. The EPluto is the brand's entry-level model, a scaled-down version of the EPluto 7G. In comparison to the latter, the former has a smaller battery and offers a lower range and top speed.

The EPluto is only suitable for short-distance commuting because of its top speed of 25kmph. The full battery range is decent at 80 km, though. It uses a 1.8kWh portable battery to power a 250-Watt brushless hub-mounted motor. The e-scooter has a seven-degree grade ability.

The EPluto standard mimics the features of its higher-spec 7G derivative, including regenerative braking, an LCD instrument cluster, an anti-theft feature with a smart lock, and LED headlamps and taillamps.

A BLDC motor and a 2.5kWH lithium battery from the ETrance Neo power this electric scooter. The rider can remove the battery and take it home to charge it because it is portable. The company states that it can carry 150 kg of weight and has a top speed of 60 kmph. This electric scooter has a good list of features. A four-inch LCD screen, regenerative braking, LED headlight, and a smart lock with anti-theft features are included.

This company is barely present in the nation as of right now. Therefore, this brand's sales dealerships are few and far between. This means that finding the ETrance Neo will be challenging.
