Electric vehicles are no longer on the sidelines. They’re on highways, in colonies, and quietly replacing petrol at the daily commute level.

But behind the scenes, building EVs for India comes with its own set of challenges. Roads aren’t predictable. Usage patterns vary. Charging setups differ from city to city. You can’t just import tech and expect it to work here.

Raft Motors was built with this in mind. Not just to make an electric scooter—but to engineer one that’s fit for where and how people actually ride.

Built for Distance, Designed for Real Roads

The biggest hesitation for many first-time EV users is range. Will it make the full trip? Will I be able to charge it tonight?

Raft Cosmic EV models like Zanskar tackle this with a 125 km range on a single charge. It uses a 72V system paired with a 36.4Ah lithium-ion battery—one of the more dependable combinations in its class. The charge cycle fits neatly into a 3–3.5 hour window, making it practical for daily use.

This makes a real difference in semi-urban areas or Tier 2 cities where charging points are sparse but distances between errands are longer.

EVs That Carry Weight—Literally

It’s one thing for a scooter to move you. It’s another to do it while carrying full grocery bags, a pillion rider, and some gear strapped to the back.

The Warrior handles up to 150 kg of load. That’s on top of a real-world range of around 90 km per charge. It doesn’t wobble on broken roads or give up on uphill turns.

These are the kinds of needs that typical spec sheets don’t cover—but that Indian riders feel every day.

Backing the Battery Where It Matters Most

Most buyers still hesitate around one thing — the battery. It costs the most to replace. It determines how far you go. And over time, it begins to wear.

To address this head-on, Raft Cosmic EV includes a 2+1 year battery warranty. Not as a marketing hook, but as part of the product’s backbone.

That kind of warranty reflects confidence — not just in the cells themselves, but in how they’re assembled, managed, and protected across daily use.

It’s easier to ride long-term when the brand stands behind the thing powering every ride.

Understanding What You Save, Not Just What You Pay

The upfront price of an EV is only part of the story. The running cost is where the shift happens.

Raft’s EV savings calculator helps you track that. Enter your daily distance and compare it to your usual fuel spend. The numbers are quick — someone doing 50 km a day ends up saving ₹120 every single day.

Across five years, that adds up to more than ₹2 lakh. These figures are built around actual usage, not theoretical estimates. It helps riders think long-term, not just monthly.

Making EV Access Practical, Not Flashy

Instead of placing a scooter in a showroom and flooding social media, Raft Cosmic EV focuses on physical experience centers. The one in Kolkata is already doing what many skip — letting riders actually try the vehicle.

Dealers are being added slowly and with purpose. Each location is equipped to walk buyers through charging, savings, usage, and warranty. These are conversations, not pitches.

That’s the kind of support people remember after the sale — when they’re 18 months into riding and have a real question.

Final Thoughts

Electric vehicles need to work for where they’re used. And India needs vehicles that understand its pace, its roads, its habits.

At Raft Cosmic EV, we’ve focused on designing with purpose. Models like Zanskar and Warrior are built to do more than deliver on paper — they show up daily, in traffic, in heat, on bad roads.

That’s what we believe good engineering should lead to: trust, not just torque.
