Mahindra has expanded its Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) program to include all variants of its Electric Origin SUV lineup: the BE 6 Sporteq, XEV 9S, and XEV 9e. This financing model separates vehicle and battery costs, lowering upfront prices to Rs 11.45 lakh for the BE 6 Sporteq, Rs 12.65 lakh for the XEV 9S, and Rs 13.90 lakh for the XEV 9e, excluding battery financing. The battery EMI starts at Rs 6,975, with an effective usage cost of Rs 3.75 per km, aiming to make electric SUVs more accessible and flexible for buyers.
