You’ve seen them on the roads. You’ve heard the silence. But you’ve also heard the rumors. “They can’t handle rain,” “The battery dies too fast,” or “They have no pickup.” At Elektree EV, we believe in radical transparency. Let’s separate fact from fiction.
- Myth: “EVs can’t handle Indian Monsoons.” Fact: This is the biggest fear, but it’s unfounded. Quality EVs (like our Elektree OAK) come with IP67-rated battery packs. This means they are water and dust-resistant. We test our bikes in simulated flood conditions to ensure you can glide through puddles without a worry.
- Myth: “Charging takes forever.” Fact: While a full charge takes time, you rarely need a full charge from 0%. Most riders top up like they do with their phone. Plus, with our latest fast-charging tech on the Elektree AURA, you can get enough juice for your daily commute while you have a cup of chai.
- Myth: “If the battery dies, I’m stranded.” Fact: Modern EVs have intelligent Battery Management Systems (BMS). Your dashboard gives you accurate range predictions. It’s no different than a petrol bike running out of fuel—except you can plug in at any standard 15A socket found in any shop or home!
- Myth: “EVs are slow.” Fact: Electric motors provide instant torque. There is no lag. The Elektree BOLT is designed specifically to zip through city traffic faster than most 100cc petrol bikes.
Conclusion Don’t let old myths keep you from the future. The technology has matured, and it’s ready for Indian roads.
