New Delhi. Indian passenger vehicle manufacturer Mahindra has recently launched two electric SUVs, which is making headlines due to its merits. Mahindra has launched two new electric SUVs BE6 E and Xev.9e prepared on the INGLO platform, which has more than 650 kilometers on the single single, which is more than the electric car of any Indian car manufacturer.

However, to achieve such a range, the company has not used any ordinary battery, but a new battery prepared in these two cars. Let’s know what technology Mahindra has used in her electric car.

In-house prepared new battery
Vikasit is the most difficult task for any car manufacturer. Since, the range in electric car matters a lot and the customer’s decision to buy electric car depends largely on the range. The company has taken the help of China’s car manufacturer BYD to develop battery technology. Mahindra is using source LFP battery from BYD in both its new electric cars which are equipped with blade batteries technology and are being used in many electric cars around the world including China for their merits.

However, Mahindra is doing the work of packing and assembling these batteries at Mahindra Research Valley in Chennai, which is the company’s State of the Art Facility.

LFP battery is equipped with many features
The LFP battery of Byd is quite different from the simple lithium ion battery. This battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate instead of lithium-nickle, which has higher capacity to store energy. Apart from this, this battery is also less hot even when used continuously and provides better protection than water.

The company has designed the battery chamber in the car in such a way that it can withstand temperatures ranging from -30 degrees to 80 degrees. Its specialty gives the company a lead in battery technology with other companies like Tata Motors and Hyundai.

Mahindra is currently asking for LFP battery cell from China, but the company will stop buying them from China as soon as the agreement is implemented from Foxwagen in 2026.

Life Time Warranty on Battery!
Mahindra has announced to give a life-time warranty on the battery of his Be6 E and Xev.9e electric cars. That is, if the battery gets spoiled, customers will not have to worry about the expenses of replacing it. The company is offering 10 years / 2,00,000 km of standard warranty on the battery of both cars. If you sell the car first 10 years old, then the warranty will be transferred to the new owner.

Price of Mahindra Be6 E and Xev.9e
Both Mahindra Be6 E and Xev.9E are advanced cars of the company. The base model of BE6 E is priced at Rs 18.90 lakh (ex-showroom), while the base model of XEV 9E has been priced at Rs 21.90 lakh (ex-showroom).

A range of more than 680 km
Battery of 59 kwh in the base model of both electric cars and 79 kwh in the top model. Both generate 231 PS power and 380 Nm torque in their base model. At the same time, a range of 682 km and 656 km has been claimed in their top models respectively. These electric cars have a single motor and rear wheel drive (RWD) system.
