Mahindra Expands Battery-as-a-Service Model to Entire Electric SUV Portfolio
Mahindra Group has expanded its Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model across its entire electric SUV portfolio, including the BE 6 SPORTEQ, XEV 9S, and XEV 9e models. This dual-financing structure allows customers to pay separately for the vehicle and battery, lowering upfront costs and offering flexible monthly payments at an effective battery usage cost of Rs 3.75 per km. The company cited strong customer response as validation for this expansion, aiming to simplify electric vehicle adoption through more accessible ownership options.
