🛵 Key features carried over from the Orbiter V2 include :
• 14-inch front & 12-inch rear wheels
• LCD cluster with turn-by-turn navigation via mobile app
• OTA updates, anti-theft, crash alerts & geo-fencing
• Eco & Power modes
• Hill-hold assist, reverse parking assist & cruise control
• 845 mm flat seat & 34L underseat storage
•Top Speed : 68 km/h
•Peak power : 2.8 kW
•34 L Boot (Fits 2 half-face helmets)
💡 Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) option introduced :
• Plans start at ₹862/month
• Tenures: 24 / 36 / 60 months
• No distance limit on usage
• Includes 5-year / 70,000 km extended warranty
💰 Price :
• ₹84,500 (ex-showroom, Delhi, with PM e-Drive subsidy)
• Just ₹49,999 with BaaS option
The Orbiter V1 is around ₹15,000 more affordable than the Orbiter V2 (₹99,900), making EV ownership even more accessible.

✅ Much needed pampering after 3 years of usage ,of Kona Electric,Paint correction with Power Shine Xtra large (from 3M Car care,Chandigarh)
✅ Haven’t been taking care of the car in terms of exterior ,poor washing techniques,poor micro fibre cloths,resulted in swirls even after I had got ceramic coating
✅ my poor upkeep resulted in swirls and all but alternatively for my Brezza (as was first car) I was so religious in taking care that it’s maintained well (even with MSIL paint quality considering price ) had got it coated with ceramic and then one paint correction after 8 years only (even at that time swirls were very few) attached images (it’s driven less now days)
✅ Now will try to manage Kona electric religiously with similar care I did with brezza ::
👉 Clean with water pressure one
👉 Followed by Shampoo 🧴 (3m or megularis)
👉 Dry with 3m micro fibre cloth or else micro fibre (Michellin ones are good)
👉 Semi-wipe cloth usage and done

BYD Atto 3 survives a missile attack in Israel.
👉🏽A,B & C pillars intact
👉🏽Airbags deployed
😲No battery fire/thermal runaway
These are BYD's blade cells also being used in Indian EVs by Mahindra, Maruti and Toyota.
Astonishing!
BYD just dropped one of the most important EV announcements of the year.
🔋 LFP Blade Battery 2.0 (210 Wh/kg)
⚡ 10–70% charge in ~5 minutes
⚡ 10–97% in ~9 minutes
⚡ Flash charging ~1.5 MW
⚡ Next-gen EV platform – 1000V architecture
#Bettrification
But the bigger story is the system architecture behind it.
BYD plans 20,000 flash-charging stations by 2026.
• ~1.5 MW charging power
• 1000-V EV architecture
• 18,000 “station-within-a-station” deployments added inside existing charging hubs
That’s massive rollout speed.
But the most interesting part is what this means for the grid.
Critics have spent years claiming EV charging will strain power grids.
Yet ultra-fast charging networks are evolving in the exact opposite direction.
To deliver megawatt charging bursts, these sites will almost certainly include large onsite battery storage.
That changes the architecture entirely.
Instead of this:
Grid → charger → EV
You get this:
Grid → station battery → flash charger → EV
The grid slowly fills the station battery, and the battery delivers massive bursts of power to vehicles.
Which means charging hubs can actually:
• smooth grid demand
• absorb excess solar & wind
• provide peak-shaving
• stabilize frequencyc
And importantly:
When those large station batteries aren’t being used for charging, surplus power can be sold back to the grid during peak demand periods.
Charging demand and grid demand rarely peak at the same time, meaning these hubs can act as flexible energy assets, not just chargers.
In other words:
Charging networks begin behaving like distributed energy storage infrastructure.
The EV ecosystem becomes layered storage:
Solar & wind
→ grid batteries
→ charging station batteries
→ EV batteries
That’s why the “EVs will break the grid” argument is starting to collapse. The system is evolving into a flexible, distributed energy network.
And with 5-minute charging approaching petrol refuelling times, the final psychological advantage of combustion is disappearing.
Lower operating cost.
Simpler drivetrains.
Cleaner energy.
Now similar refuelling time.
This isn’t just a battery upgrade. It’s another step in the Bettrification of the entire energy and mobility system. ⚡🔋

Ludhiana !! @Tesla_India Model Y is on your way🔋
From 6th - 12th March, you can check out and drive a Model Y at Pavilion Mall, Civil Lines, Ludhiana ⚡⚡
‼️ Part-2 ‼️
‼️ Tata Punch.ev : Tech Lift ‼️
Part-2 : Six into One integration !!
@Tataev@TataMotors_Cars@EVZindabad@evelectree@theEVtrip@PlugInIndia@Vivekvivi@volklub@VahanWarta@TorqueIndia@hormazdsorabjee@sidpatankar@kushanmitra@TeslaClubIN@ev_gyan@TheEVuniverse@Shaggy7979@Telugu_EV_Guy@rakeshkaswan@purohit__anuj
✅ What Exactly is “6-in-1” integration?
👉 The "6-in-1" integration in Electric Vehicles (EVs) refers to a next-generation power electronics architecture that consolidates six distinct high-voltage and low-voltage components into a single, compact, and highly efficient unit.
👉 6-in-1 integration Motor ,Inverter
Gearbox ,PDU , DC-DC & OBC
👉 All electric propulsion parts in one
✅ Key Components of 6-in-1 EV Units :
Based on emerging "X-in-1" standards, these systems typically integrate the following
1. Electric Motor: Converts electrical energy to mechanical motion.
2. Inverter (Motor Controller) : Converts DC from the battery to AC to control motor speed.
3. Reduction Gearbox (Transmission): Transmits high-speed, low-torque motor output to the wheels.
4. On-board Charger (OBC): Converts AC from charging sources to DC for the battery.
5. Low Voltage DC-DC Converter (LDC): Converts high-voltage battery power to 12V for electronic systems.
6. Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) / Power Distribution Unit it Manages power flow and controls the vehicle's electrical system
✅ We expect Valeo to be the supplier of this 6-in-1 for Tata motors (need to confirm)*
👉 Valeo’s Smart eDrive 6-in-1 plug-and-play unit is three steps beyond today’s state-of-the-art 3-in-1 system that features a motor, gearbox, and inverter.
✅ What are the advantages of 6-to-1 integration ?
👉 Reduced weight
👉 More Efficiency
👉 Less packaging space
👉 More battery weight compensation
👉 As per Tata motors they have achieved the following:
⭐️ 50% package size reduction
⭐️ 28% weight reduction
⭐️ 6% efficiency improvement.
⭐️ 30% reduction in electrical connection
⭐️ 40% reduction in semi conductors
⭐️ 30% reduction in high voltage harness
✅ Usually most commonly in BEVs
It has 3 components packed into 1, namely the motor, transmission and charger (AC-DC converter).
Punch.ev just changed the EV game. ⚡
✅ 355 km real-world range
✅ 15 years / Unlimited km battery warranty
✅ 20–80% in 26 mins
✅ 135 km added in 15 mins
Range anxiety? Warranty fear?
Charging time excuse?
All three addressed.
@Tataev#NewPunchev
@Tataev sticking with @apollotyres amperion series of EV specific tyres is the icing on the cake. These beauties easily last 1 lakh km+ for the gentle driver!
