Electric Power, Smart Charging
The Windsor is powered by a 38.5 kWh lithium-ion battery and a 100 kW motor (136 PS). It delivers 200 Nm of torque, which makes city driving smooth. The company claims a range of 331 km on a single charge (MIDC standard).
Charging Details:
- DC fast charging (45 kW): 0 to 80% in 55 minutes
- AC fast charging (7.7 kW): Full charge in 6.5 hours
- AC standard charging (3.3 kW): Full charge in 14 hours
It supports most public charging stations in India using the CCS2 standard.
Battery-as-a-Service: A Game-Changer
One of the most interesting features of the Windsor is the Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) option. You can buy the car without the battery and instead pay ₹3.5 per kilometre to use the battery on subscription.
This model makes EV ownership more affordable by reducing the initial purchase price to ₹9.99 lakh (ex-showroom). Perfect for buyers who want a budget EV with no long-term worries about battery health.
