Electric mobility firm E3 Electric.ai has announced the completion of its prototype electric vehicles just 90 days after its official launch. The company, based in Bengaluru, stated this marks progress towards its goal of achieving Rs 8,000 crore (approximately $1 billion USD) in revenue by 2030.
E3 is developing artificial intelligence (AI)-integrated electric scooters and utility vehicles aimed at India's mass two-wheeler market, currently dominated by 110cc petrol scooters. The company intends to address what it identifies as key barriers to EV adoption in India, focusing on safety, servicing, charging, and resale value.
Safety features highlighted include AI-assisted thermal battery management, larger wheels, optional child seating, and AI vision features for pothole detection and traffic compliance assistance. For servicing, E3 proposes a modular design with low-cost parts, suggesting that existing mechanics could be trained to maintain the vehicles.
The vehicles will use smart portable battery systems suitable for home and public charging, including fast-charging options, and will be compatible with an app-based network of public chargers. E3 also claims AI will help predict battery and vehicle life to support resale value and financing options.
The company projects its scooters could reduce the total cost of ownership by nearly 50 percent over five years compared to internal combustion engine (ICE) scooters. Estimated running costs are Rs 0.15 per kilometre, significantly lower than the Rs 2 per kilometre cited for petrol scooters, with maintenance costs potentially reduced by up to 75 percent.
P. Sanjeev, Founder & CEO of E3 Electric.ai, commented on the development: “At E3 Electric.ai, we’re not just building electric vehicles—we’re reimagining mobility for the next billion. Calibrating our prototype vehicles within just 90 days is not a milestone—it’s a mindset. It reflects the urgency, clarity, and conviction with which we’re tackling India’s toughest EV challenges”. He added, “From safety to service, from affordability to intelligence—we’re engineering solutions that bring real impact to real people”.
E3's research and development team, comprising over 25 members with experience from established automotive companies and EV/AI start-ups, has filed 13 patents related to modular design, battery technology, and AI safety features. The scooters will feature real-time diagnostics and predictive battery analytics.
The company aims to sell over one million units and establish over 1,000 showrooms across more than 600 towns by 2030, targeting EBITDA profitability by the financial year 2028. E3 stated it is working with over 50 suppliers to ensure quality and support the 'Make in India' initiative.
