Mr Jeetender Sharma, Managing Director & Founder, Okinawa Autotech, said, "We are excited and thrilled to provide users with the most innovative electric scooters at even more affordable prices now. Lowering the prices of electric scooters in the country will serve as a stepping stone and help persuade more riders to switch from a combustion-engined model to an electric one. We thank the government of India for taking this crucial step."
He further added, "At Okinawa, our localization strategy has allowed us to set the bar of high-quality products that are not only transforming the perception of electric scooters in the customer's minds but achieving this without burning a hole in their pockets. With our plans to achieve 100% localization by the end of this fiscal year, we are certain to change the face of the two-wheeler electric vehicle industry in India."
FAME II Subsidy Revision
Recently, the Indian Government increased the FAME II incentives from Rs 10,000 per kWh to Rs 15,000 per kWh of the battery pack used in the electric scooter. The incentives increased by 50 per cent, which helped the automakers to reduce the prices of their existing products.
Ather Energy, another Indian electric two-wheeler marker has reduced the prices of their scooters as well. Here is the new price for Ather 450X.
Thoughts About The Okinawa Scooter Prices Dropped
After the FAME II incentives increased in India, this led to the reduction in electric scooter prices by a substantial margin. Okinawa is quick to respond to the new regulation and made its electric scooters more accessible to EV buyers in the country.
