TVS iQube Electric Scooter Crosses 2 Lakh Unit Sales Milestone in India

TVS Motor Company has emerged as the first manufacturer in our market to sell more than 2 lakh EVs with the iQube scooter. According to TVS, the nation's growing shift toward electric transportation is demonstrated by the fact that its initial 1 lakh EV units were sold over a three-year period, but the subsequent 2 lakh units were delivered in just ten months. It is worth noting that in the first six months of FY2024, 96,151 electric scooters were sold, which is 99% of total FY2023 sales of 96,654 units. 

With 14,462 units sold in June 2023, TVS witnessed a slight drop in sales. In July, after the FAME II subsidy was reduced from 40% to 15%, it sold 13,306 units. However, an expanding market for electric vehicles and consumers' willingness to take advantage of the low cost of owning an electric scooter enhanced the sales of the TVS vehicle in August 2023 with 23,887 units and in September 2023 with 20,356 units, the first-time sales exceeded the 20,000 units. The TVS iQube e-scooter is currently strengthening its presence in our market with more than 2 lakh units of sales. Let's know more about the specs of this popular TVS electric scooter.
