Kinetic Green Energy and Power Solutions Ltd., one of India’s leading manufacturers of electric three-wheelers (e3W) and electric two-wheelers (e2W), has announced a strategic partnership with Exponent Energy, a pioneer in rapid EV charging technology. Together, the companies have introduced India’s fastest 15-minute charging solution for the high-demand L5 and L3 electric 3-wheeler category—covering e-rickshaws and e-cargo carts used widely across the country.
This breakthrough aims to transform last-mile mobility by dramatically improving uptime, operational efficiency, and earning potential for commercial EV drivers and fleet owners across urban and semi-urban regions.
Under the collaboration, Kinetic Green’s popular L3 electric three-wheelers—Safar Smart, Safar Shakti, and Super DX—now come equipped with 15-minute rapid charging capability. Drivers can top up their vehicles quickly during short breaks, boosting daily operating hours by up to 30% and enabling more trips per day.
Kinetic Green’s high-performance L5N Safar Jumbo loader, designed for logistics and heavy payload operations, also integrates this ultra-fast charging technology. With faster turnaround times and minimal downtime, operators can significantly increase trip frequency, revenue, and overall ROI.
Additionally, the upcoming L5M passenger variant, built for longer intercity routes and capable of speeds up to 50 km/h, will adopt the same advanced charging system—further enhancing utilization and productivity for passenger transport services.
Exponent Energy’s proprietary full-stack platform—comprising cutting-edge battery technology, smart charging network, and intelligent software—empowers Kinetic Green vehicles with 15-minute rapid charging and industry leading 3000-cycle warranty maximizing lifetime value of the asset. The joint solution is designed for seamless charging across Exponent’s growing charging network, while the integrated digital platform offers real time state of charge tracking, predictive maintenance alerts, and data analytics for fleet optimisation.
Speaking on the announcement, Dr. Sulajja Firodia Motwani, Founder and CEO of Kinetic Green, said, “This partnership marks a defining moment for India’s electric three-wheeler sector. By bringing the country’s first 15-minute full charge solution to e rickshaws and cargo carts — the backbone of India’s urban last mile mobility – we are empowering owner operators, small & large fleet operators to achieve unprecedented uptime and efficiency. Our customer-centric approach drove this exclusive strategic partnership for our L3 e3W category to offer our customers the best cost of ownership. This partnership accelerates our mission to democratize green mobility, making sustainable transportation accessible and affordable for all while propelling the development of India’s EV infrastructure.”
Mr. Arun Vinayak, CEO and Co-Founder of Exponent Energy, added, “At Exponent Energy, our mission is to make EVs the easiest choice – and that means solving real problems for real operators. This collaboration allows us to embed our rapid charging platform into the entire portfolio of e3Ws in India — spanning both L5 & L3 segment — delivering unparalleled speed, reliability, and scalability to operators and creating a blueprint for the future of electric transport.”
To immediately support Kinetic Green customers, Exponent Energy’s network of over 160 charging stations across four cities will be made available to the e3W fleet. Over the next 12 months, this infrastructure will expand rapidly into major metros and tier II /III cities. Exponent’s cloud-based charging dashboard will also be integrated into Kinetic Green’s fleet management app, enabling operators to schedule charges, optimise routes, and maximise vehicle uptime with ease.
This partnership is aimed at accelerating Kinetic Green’s leadership in fast charging integrated e3W solutions, with a special focus on the high growth L3 segment & cement Kinetic Green’s position as the dominant force in India’s e3W sector.
