Kinetic Green Energy & Power Solutions Ltd., a prominent electric vehicle manufacturer, and Yuma Energy, one of India’s largest and fastest-growing Battery-as-a-Service providers, have announced a strategic partnership to enhance the accessibility and practicality of electric vehicles (EVs) for consumers. Starting with the iconic E-Luna, the partnership aims to deploy 10,000 vehicles in 2025 and scale up to 100,000 units over the next four years.
Kinetic Green and Yuma Energy are united in their mission to accelerate the transition to clean energy. While Kinetic Green is committed to providing sustainable mobility solutions for the masses, Yuma Energy focuses on creating reliable, safe, and easy-to-use battery-swapping infrastructure. This collaboration will focus on launching advanced EV technology and innovative business models to address critical barriers to EV adoption such as high upfront vehicle costs and insufficient charging infrastructure.
Ms. Sulajja Firodia Motwani, Founder and CEO, Kinetic Green said, ‘’We are very excited about the partnership with Yuma Energy. Kinetic Green is committed to deploying advanced EV technology solutions and innovation to make electric vehicles more affordable, accessible, and reliable for customers. I am confident that together we will contribute greatly to the greening of the last mile in India, where Kinetic Green’s E2-wheelers and E3-wheelers will replace fossil-fuel-based vehicles, reducing pollution in our cities. By offering these with Yuma’s state-of-the-art battery swapping ecosystem, we will help accelerate EV adoption by ensuring a seamless EV experience for customers and helping maximise their earnings. I am convinced that this is the future, and we are happy to play a part in this green transition.’’
Mr. Muthu Subramanian, MD & GM, Yuma Energy said, ‘’This partnership represents a major step forward in our mission to make EV adoption seamless and sustainable. Kinetic Green’s legacy and Yuma Energy’s technology are a perfect match to deliver superior customer experience. Together, we are setting new benchmarks in affordability, reliability, and innovation, and we are excited about what this means for the future of clean mobility in India.’’
The partnership between Kinetic Green and Yuma Energy will focus on high-demand areas like shared passenger mobility and last-mile delivery, emphasizing battery swapping to ensure uninterrupted operations and increased productivity. Key benefits include:
- Wide Choice: Kinetic Green will integrate its swap-ready EVs into Yuma Energy’s BaaS network, offering convenience for fleet operators and riders.
- Comprehensive Access: Subscribers will have access to 200+ swapping stations, with ongoing expansion.
- Exceptional Service: The collaboration ensures 99%+ uptime and quick, sub-one minute battery swaps, minimizing disruptions.
- Cost-Efficiency: Battery swapping reduces upfront costs, eliminates range anxiety, and maximizes vehicle uptime by separating vehicle and battery costs.
The partnership also highlights Yuma Energy’s ability to scale seamlessly, setting new standards in operational reliability and customer satisfaction. The company’s robust infrastructure, integrated hardware and software ecosystem, and service excellence make it a preferred partner for Kinetic Green. By reducing upfront costs, achieving zero downtime, and improving accessibility, the synergy between the companies will enable more consumers and businesses to adopt sustainable electric mobility solutions.
The rollout will start from Kinetic Green’s home city, with approximately 1,000 E-Luna EVs being offered under this strategic partnership to select fleet operators. The E-Luna is ideally suited for various last-mile delivery applications such as food, groceries, e-commerce and quick commerce delivery. The partnership will then be scaled nationally: 10,000 Kinetic Green EVs will be deployed during the year, including E2-Wheelers and E3-Wheelers.
 over the next four years to promote greener last-mile mobility. Deployment starts in February 2025 in Pune, with 10,000 EVs to be rolled out within the year.){kind=link}
