Raptee.HV’s High-Voltage T30 Becomes India’s First CCS2 DC Fast-Charging Motorcycle, Exceeds 8,000 Registrations, and Achieves $25M in First-Year Sales

Raptee.HV has set a new standard for India’s electric motorcycle industry by launching the country’s first ARAI-certified high-voltage EV motorcycle. The T30 brings electric car-level tech to motorcycles, offering record-breaking charging speeds, ICE-rivaling performance, and an industry-best 8-year battery warranty. With 8,000+ registrations secured, the company has met its ambitious $25M first-year sales goal ahead of schedule, signaling a major shift in India’s two-wheeler market.

 Raptee.HV has set a new benchmark in India’s electric vehicle industry by launching the T30, India’s first high-voltage electric motorcycle, designed with advanced EV car technology. The T30 is the only electric motorcycle in India to be certified by the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) and compatible with CCS2 DC fast charging, unlocking access to over 22,000 charging stations across the country.
With a performance equivalent to 300cc ICE motorcycles, the T30 is setting new standards in speed, reliability, and efficiency. The strong consumer response has driven 8,000+ pre-registrations, allowing Raptee.HV to meet its ambitious $25M first-year sales target ahead of schedule. The company is now preparing for an aggressive expansion phase, with talks underway to raise $19M in funding to support production and distribution.

Raptee.HV’s Breakthrough in High-Voltage Electric Two-Wheelers
Founded in 2019, Raptee.HV was created to bridge the gap between ICE motorcycles and electric vehicles by leveraging high-voltage powertrain technology, commonly used in electric cars. Unlike conventional low-voltage electric scooters, the T30 brings significant improvements in charging speed, range, and reliability, marking a first in India’s two-wheeler segment.
The company has filed 156 patents covering its powertrain, vehicle design, and battery management systems, making it one of the most technologically advanced electric motorcycle brands in the country.

How the T30 Stands Out in the EV Market
The Raptee.HV T30 is the only electric motorcycle in India to integrate high-voltage technology, a feature typically reserved for electric cars. With CCS2 fast-charging compatibility, riders can charge their T30 at public DC fast-charging stations across India, making it as convenient as charging an electric car.
Unlike existing electric two-wheelers that depend on slow-charging infrastructure, the T30 charges significantly faster, making long-distance travel more practical for electric motorcycle users.
The T30 also addresses key concerns around EV reliability. Since the motorcycle is powered by the same technology used in electric cars, it offers an industry-leading 8-year battery warranty, a feature previously unavailable in the Indian two-wheeler market.

Record-Breaking Sales and Expansion Plans
Raptee.HV launched its T30 motorcycle in October 2024 and has since received over 8,000 registrations from customers across India. This demand has allowed the company to meet its first-year sales target of $25M. The company plans to start deliveries in Chennai and Bengaluru by Q1 2025-26 before expanding to other metro cities.
The company raised its last funding round in October 2023, led by Blue Hill Capital and Artha 99, along with a group of Indian and international family offices. Currently, Raptee.HV is in discussions to raise an additional $19M to support its working capital requirements and national expansion plans.

The Competitive Edge of High-Voltage Technology
One of Raptee.HV’s biggest achievements has been achieving price parity with 300cc ICE motorcycles, with the T30 priced at ₹2.39 lakh ex-showroom. The total cost of ownership is significantly lower, thanks to government subsidies, lower running costs, and zero fuel expenses.
Jayapradeep Vasudevan, Chief Business Officer at Raptee.HV, highlighted the impact of ARAI certification, calling it a milestone for the Indian EV industry. He explained that the high-voltage technology used in the T30 not only enhances performance and charging efficiency but also helps address EV adoption barriers, such as range anxiety and charging infrastructure concerns.
The T30 is engineered to deliver a superior riding experience, with faster acceleration, enhanced safety features, and next-generation software capabilities. The motorcycle’s digital ecosystem includes real-time diagnostics, over-the-air (OTA) updates, and smart energy management, ensuring optimal efficiency.

India’s Growing High-Voltage EV Ecosystem
Raptee.HV’s entry into high-voltage electric motorcycles aligns with the government’s push for EV adoption under initiatives such as the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles (FAME) scheme by the Ministry of Heavy Industries (MHI).
The company is the only Indian EV manufacturer to receive non-dilutive funding from MHI and ARAI, further reinforcing its position as a key innovator in India’s growing EV landscape.
With high-voltage EV technology becoming the global standard, Raptee.HV is well-positioned for international expansion. The company’s T30 is already compatible with CCS2 DC fast chargers worldwide, giving it a natural entry point into global markets.

Building the Future of Electric Motorcycles
Raptee.HV operates from a 4.5-acre facility in Manapakkam, Chennai, integrating research, development, and manufacturing under one roof. The plant has an installed production capacity of 100,000 units annually, allowing the company to scale operations rapidly.
For future expansion, Raptee.HV has acquired 40 acres in SIPCOT Cheyyar, which will serve as the base for its next phase of manufacturing and product development.
Dinesh Arjun, Co-Founder and CEO of Raptee.HV, emphasized that the transition to high-voltage technology is inevitable in motorcycles, just as it was for electric cars. He explained that while it took six years to develop the high-voltage platform, the company is now in a position to launch a new motorcycle every 12 months moving forward.

Why the Raptee.HV T30 is a Game-Changer
The Raptee.HV T30 is not just another electric motorcycle—it is a technology-driven breakthrough. By leveraging high-voltage powertrains, Raptee.HV has created a motorcycle that can rival petrol-powered counterparts in speed, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.With 8,000+ pre-registrations, $25M in first-year sales, and an upcoming $19M funding round, Raptee.HV is set to lead the next wave of EV adoption in India.
