Upgraded Kinetic DX+ Launched with 3.1 kWh Battery, 132 km Range at ₹1,27,650
Kinetic has introduced a significant upgrade to its EV lineup with the launch of the new Kinetic DX+ electric scooter. Addressing the primary limitation of the previous 2.6 kWh version—which offered a real-world range of under 100 km—the scooter is now equipped with a larger 3.1 kWh LFP battery. This update pushes the certified IDC range to 132 km, ensuring practical, everyday usability for urban commuters.
Battery and Powertrain Upgrades
The core upgrade to the DX+ is the new 3.1 kWh LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) battery pack. Paired with a 3.8 kW peak-power hub BLDC motor, the scooter now delivers a real-world range of 105 to 110 km on a single charge.
