Mahindra e-Alfa Super

The Mahindra e-Alfa Super is a low-speed (L3M) electric passenger carrier from Mahindra Last Mile Mobility, built to run city feeder routes and short commuter trips. It is a fully-built, three-wheeled auto-rickshaw body that seats a driver plus up to four passengers, and it is priced from Rs 1.61 lakh ex-showroom (Rs 1.61-1.70 lakh range), making it one of the most affordable electric 3-wheelers on the market.

Range and charging

The e-Alfa Super draws from a 140 Ah battery and returns a range of up to 95 km on a full charge, which is enough for a full shift of short city hops. A complete charge takes roughly 4 to 5 hours, so it suits overnight charging at home or a depot rather than fast top-ups during the day. The charging time and range numbers come directly from the TrucksDekho specification sheet, and Mahindra's own product page quotes 95+ km as well.

Performance and payload

A brushless DC (BLDC) motor producing 2 hp and 22 Nm of torque drives a top speed of 25 km/h, with 5% gradeability and a 1,750 mm turning radius that keeps the carrier nimble in narrow lanes. The unit has a 792 kg gross vehicle weight and a 412 kg kerb weight, giving it roughly 380 kg of usable payload. It rides on a 2,168 mm wheelbase with 138 mm ground clearance, drum braking, and leading-link front suspension with a rigid leaf-spring rear.

Who should buy it

The e-Alfa Super is aimed at owner-drivers, small fleet operators and last-mile passenger services that want a low-cost electric alternative to CNG autos. The 25 km/h top speed and 95 km range are honest limits for urban feeder routes; operators planning highway use or double shifts should confirm real-world range and charging logistics with a dealer before committing.
