Ultraviolette Launches 8 Lakh Kilometre Warranty for F77 Electric Motorcycle in India

The F77, Ultraviolette Automotive's flagship electric motorcycle available in India, now has enhanced battery warranties. This offer provides extra safety for the EV's battery and drivetrain. The model will have an 8 lakh-kilometre global warranty as part of the package. Three coverages—UV Care, UV Care+, and UV Care Max—will be offered along with this new warranty. Under the revised scheme, UV Care and UV Care+ additionally offer coverage for twice as many kilometres, while UV Care Max now has an eight-fold maximum kilometres limit. For the uninitiated, the usual vehicle warranty for the Ultraviolette F77 is three years or 30,000 kilometres. The UV Care package extends the battery and drivetrain warranty to 60,000 kilometres for three years, and the UV Care+ package to 1 lakh kilometres for five years. With a coverage area of 8 lakh kilometres/8 years, the UV Care Max package is only available on the F77 Recon model. Meanwhile, the UV Care and UV Care+ packages can be had for both the standard and Recon models.

Speaking on the update, Niraj Rajmohan, CTO & Co-Founder, of Ultraviolette, stated, "Being the global pioneer in battery technology and offering an extensive warranty is a testament to Ultraviolette's commitment to revolutionizing the electric mobility landscape. The introduction of the new warranty structure for the battery and drivetrain is underpinned by rigorous efforts in battery engineering, including meticulous validation processes spanning five levels of safety, and future-ready battery technology. Ultraviolette's extended warranty reaffirms the uncompromising quality and reliability of our electric motorcycles."
