Supertech EV Passenger Maxx

The Supertech EV Passenger Maxx is an L5M high-speed electric passenger auto-rickshaw from Supertech EV, built for last-mile passenger transport in Indian cities and semi-urban routes. It seats a driver plus three passengers and is sold on quotation, with TrucksDekho listing the price as coming soon. For fleet owners, transporters and individual auto-rickshaw drivers, it pairs a claimed 100 km range with a rugged chassis-with-cabin body designed for daily commercial running.

Range and charging

The Passenger Maxx runs on a 105 Ah lithium-ion battery pack available in 51 V and 61 V options. With a single battery, the 61 V pack delivers an average range of 80-90 km and the 51 V pack 70-80 km; with a double battery, the 61 V pack reaches 180 km and the 51 V pack 150-170 km. Charging takes 4-5 hours using the bundled 25 Ah Trontek charger, which is a standard overnight schedule for an auto-rickshaw operator. Supertech EV offers a 1-year standard warranty on the vehicle and a 3-year warranty on the battery.

Performance and payload

A 3 kW BLDC motor (1500W-2000W) delivers a top speed of 70 kmph, helping to keep turnaround times low on congested city routes. The 3025 mm overall length, 1005 mm width and 1800 mm height, along with a 400 mm ground clearance and 1965 mm wheelbase, let it handle uneven and bumpy Indian roads. Hydraulic telescopic shock absorbers at the front (with helical compression spring) and rear (with rubber compression spring and damper) smooth out the ride for passengers. It runs on three 4.50-12 Apollo tyres with drum brakes, a day cabin on a chassis-with-cabin platform, and features a digital driver information display, LED headlamps with DRL and grab handles for passengers.

Who should buy it

The Passenger Maxx suits individual auto-rickshaw drivers, small fleet owners and last-mile passenger operators who want a high-speed L5M vehicle rather than a low-speed e-rickshaw. The single-battery 70-100 km range supports a full city shift on one charge, while the double-battery option extends a working day to 150-180 km. The 3-year battery warranty and 400 mm ground clearance lower the operating risk that worries first-time EV buyers. Those who need fast charging or quick turnaround may find the 4-5 hour charge time limiting, but for flat, congested city routes the Passenger Maxx is a low-cost, zero-emission replacement for a CNG auto.
