According to Sohinder Gill, CEO Global Business, Hero Eco, this is one great step in Hero’s attempt to put 3 million plus Electric two wheelers on Indian roads by 2020. Hero Electric has upgraded and implemented the changes in the Electronic and Power train of all its E-Scooters to give the choice of the lead or the lithium batteries to the customer at the time of purchase. Lithium battery technology in Hero Electric Scooters would not only give around 5 years of petrol free ride, it would allow home charging and 30 minutes top up charging. The Hero Electric Customers would now have the real pleasure of driving the Electric scooters and not worry about the limited range and limited life of the lead batteries. It’s a dream come true for Gill, who has led Hero Electric and also spearheaded the Electric Vehicle Association of India for the last 8 years in the untiring pursuit of promoting the Electric Vehicles in India.
