Powered by Exponent Energy’s rapid charging technology, the 15-minute rapid-charge option cuts waiting time, so that customers spend more time on the road and more time earning. Available initially in Bengaluru, Chennai and Delhi NCR
Bengaluru, 29th October 2026: Montra Electric, India’s full-spectrum electric commercial vehicle brand, today announced a 15-minute – rapid charge option for the SUPER AUTO FX, its electric passenger three-wheeler, powered by Exponent Energy’s rapid-charging technology. The collaboration helps drivers minimise charging downtime and get back on the road sooner. This will be introduced initially in Bengaluru, Chennai and Delhi NCR, where customers can access compatible Exponent Energy charging hubs.
Fast charging is still uncommon in the L5M electric passenger three-wheeler category. With the SUPER AUTO FX, Montra Electric is bringing a segment-leading proposition to it: rapid charge in just 15 minutes.
The announcement follows from the thinking behind ‘Pehle Aap’, the philosophy that guides everything Montra Electric builds. It means putting the customer first, understanding the realities of their everyday work, and designing solutions around what matters to them. Behind it sits the brand’s belief in Izzat: that those who earn their living behind the wheel of a SUPER AUTO deserve respect, and products that respect their time.
For these customers, range and charging downtime have a direct bearing on how much they can earn in a day. Every hour spent waiting to charge is an hour without a fare. Montra Electric listened to that challenge and worked with Exponent Energy to engineer an answer around it.
The SUPER AUTO FX already offers a 150+ km true on-road range, with the option of a 15-minute rapid charge. This makes the proposition even more compelling: less time waiting, more time on the road, and a greater opportunity to earn, without the worry of charging downtime.
Commenting on the launch Mr. Deependra Sharma, CEO, e-3W, Montra Electric (TI Clean Mobility), said, “Pehle Aap is how every conversation at Montra Electric begins. We start by asking what matters to our customer, and for the people who run a SUPER AUTO every day, and one of the biggest worries has been the time lost waiting to charge. The more the vehicle is on the road, the more customer can earn. A full charge in 15 minutes gives that time back to them. We did not see this as adding one more feature. We saw it as solving a real problem that our customers face, and that is what Pehle Aap means to us.”
Commenting on the launch, Mr. Arun Vinayak, Founder & CEO, Exponent Energy, said, “We’re proud to partner with Montra Electric once again. Our work together in electric cargo three-wheelers has shown what’s possible when the vehicle and its energy ecosystem are designed to work together. We’re excited to now take this partnership into passenger mobility with the SUPER AUTO FX. Exponent’s battery technology, city-wide charging network and 2.25 lakh km battery warranty help make electric mobility more practical for drivers. Montra has brought a fresh design sensibility to the auto segment, raising the bar for what an Indian auto can look and feel like. We’re glad to bring our energy technology to it.”
Earlier this month, Montra Electric, Exponent Energy and Exponent ONE introduced ONE Pass, a fully variable, pay-per-use Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) solution for Montra Electric’s three-wheelers, further extending Montra Electric’s Pehle Aap philosophy by aligning energy costs with vehicle usage and making electric mobility more practical for the drivers.
