Indofast Energy and Motovolt Mobility join forces to foster e2W adoption

Indofast Energy , a 50:50 joint venture between Indian Oil Corporation and SUN Mobility, has announced a strategic partnership with e-mobility startup Motovolt Mobility to accelerate electric two-wheeler adoption in India. The alliance integrates Indofast's nationwide QIS battery-swapping infrastructure with Motovolt's newly launched MVS7, India's first multi-utility electric scooter. The partnership aims to tackle key EV adoption barriers—range anxiety, high battery costs, and limited charging infrastructure —through a Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model. This approach decouples battery ownership from the vehicle, significantly reducing upfront costs and offering a flexible, pay-per-use solution for commuters and businesses. 'This isn't just a partnership; it's a paradigm shift in Indian e-mobility,' said Rajat Malhan, Senior Vice President, Indofast Energy. 'We are eliminating the biggest hurdles to EV adoption, ensuring uninterrupted journeys and greater economic opportunities for users.' The MVS7 is engineered for both personal mobility and last-mile delivery. With a 2.5kW BLDC motor, 120 Nm torque, and a top speed of 50 km/h, it offers a range of up to 85 km per charge. Motovolt CEO Tushar Choudhary emphasised, 'This collaboration is a major step toward green mobility . The MVS7 combines high utility with affordability, and our partnership with Indofast ensures access to an expanding swapping ecosystem.' The partnership also includes a lifetime battery warranty, enhancing trust and long-term value.
