Raptee.HV T 30 gets CCS2 charging port, compatible with car charging stations
Raptee.HV T 30 launched with a price tag of Rs. 2.39 lakhs (ex-showroom), distinguishing it with features typically seen in higher-end electric vehicles. Notably, the T 30 is equipped with a CCS2 charging port, a common feature in electric cars but rarely found in electric motorcycles. This inclusion makes the bike compatible with most car charging stations across India.
While the manufacturer has not disclosed details on the motor output or battery capacity, the IP67-rated battery is housed securely in the bike’s belly. Raptee.HV claims a real-world range of around 150 km, which is supported by an integrated driving cycle (IDC) range of over 200 km.
Performance and Charging
The T 30’s 0-60 km/hr time of under 3.5 seconds places it in the same acceleration bracket as traditional 250-300cc petrol bikes.
Though Raptee claims that the T 30 is India’s first motorcycle built on a high-voltage architecture, they have not revealed specific voltage figures. The bike does feature “240V” branding on its side, suggesting it runs on a 240-volt system.
Competitive Landscape
The Raptee.HV T 30 occupies a unique position in the electric two-wheeler market. With a price tag of Rs. 2.39 lakhs, it is positioned in a niche pricing range. In terms of electric alternatives, the closest competitor is the TVS X electric scooter, which was launched at Rs. 2.50 lakhs but has yet to make a significant impact.
Among similarly priced petrol-powered motorcycles, the Raptee faces competition from models like the Harley-Davidson X440, the Royal Enfield Guerilla 450, the Triumph Speed 400 and the likes.
With the CCS2 charging port and a unique design, the Raptee.HV T 30 offers a blend of modern technology and practical performance. It provides a glimpse into the future of electric motorcycles in India, appealing to early adopters seeking innovation in the EV space. However, with competition from both electric and petrol-powered vehicles, its success will likely depend on its performance and market reception in the coming months.
