The companies have not specified the planned timeline for expanding availability to other locations. The SUPER AUTO FX has a claimed on-road range of more than 150km, 60Nm of torque and 32% gradability. Other features include hill-hold assist, push-button starting, an in-cabin light and a 12V mobile-charging socket. The vehicle comes with a stated warranty of five years or 2.25 lakh km, as specified by the company. The release does not provide details on the conditions applicable to the warranty or the charging option. Fast charging remains relatively uncommon in the L5M electric passenger three-wheeler segment. The new offering extends Montra Electric and Exponent Energy's existing collaboration in the commercial electric vehicle market to passenger mobility. The announcement follows the introduction of ONE Pass earlier in October by Montra Electric, Exponent Energy and Exponent ONE, a pay-per-use Energy-as-a-Service offering designed to align energy costs with vehicle usage for Montra Electric's three-wheelers. Arun Vinayak, founder and CEO of Exponent Energy, said the partnership builds on the companies' work in electric cargo three-wheelers and extends their collaboration to passenger vehicles. Exponent Energy's battery technology and charging network are part of the offering, with the company citing a battery warranty of 2.25 lakh km. Deependra Sharma, CEO of e-3W at Montra Electric (TI Clean Mobility), said charging time had been a concern for drivers because time spent charging can reduce the hours available for passenger operations. He described the 15-minute charging option as a response to that issue. ## Montra Electric's Earlier EVIATOR Rollout According to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), Montra Electric rolled out the 1,000th EVIATOR electric cargo vehicle from its manufacturing facility in Ponneri near Chennai in May 2026, marking a production milestone.
