Mahindra Expands Battery-As-A-Service (BAAS) Pricing To Mahindra XEV 9S, XEV 9e And Their Variants

The demand for EVs is growing at a steady rate. In today’s scenario, the share of EVs in the passenger vehicle market is 5%. However, that is a big number of sales given the sheer size of the indian automobile market. With Mahindra being the second biggest player in the EV segment, they have expanded the Battery-as-a-Service model to more models and variants. 

The BaaS model is now available with the Mahindra XEV 9S and the XEV 9e, in all variants. The purchase model also extends to the recently updated BE 6 SPORTEQ as well. Let’s dive into the details:

CarDekho Says…

The Mahindras have been among the radical-looking and tech-packed electric SUVs. Though being in the early days of EV technology, the market is accepting them for the novelty and the low running cost, which is a fraction compared to regular petrol cars. The BaaS pricing model further helps reduce the initial financial burden of owning an EV. Furthermore, the lower entry cost makes it an attractive proposition for many who have been wanting to get themselves an EV.
