HOP Electric has also launched an integrated network of battery charging-cum-swapping stations to speed the EV ecosystem in the domestic market
Accelerating its EV journey, HOP Electric Mobility has announced that the construction of its second manufacturing unit in Jaipur has begun and it is expected to be completed by February next year.
HOP’s only manufacturing unit currently functions in Jaipur as well and is spread over an area of 40,000 sq ft with a capacity of 50,000 units per annum.
The second unit has been added to meet the upcoming new launches and anticipated demand and consists of a manufacturing capacity of 1.5 lakh units per year.
HOP Electric has also launched an integrated network of battery charging-cum-swapping stations to speed the EV ecosystem in the domestic market, the company said.
The facility, Hop Energy Network, is designed to reduce the range anxiety concerns of consumers and they can now charge a Hop electric scooter at home or swap to a fully-charged battery when outside in less than 30 seconds.
HOP further added that it plans to expand its presence in multiple states, including Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal and has recently signed up with 30 dealers across India, which are expected to be operational by next month.
The company is looking for 70 more partnerships by December this year. It also recently launched two new e-scooter models in up to 125 km range – Leo and Lyf.
“Our e-scooters Leo and Lyf are already garnering great traction and we are soon planning to launch e-motorcycle OXO. Our aim is to close 100 dealerships by the end of December 2021. These e-vehicles are integrated with distinctive features to make riding fun and safe,” said Ketan Mehta, Founder-CEO, Hop Electric Mobility.
