Ultraviolette Revolutionizes Two-Wheeler Charging with Universal UVLYNC Adapter
Bangalore, India – Ultraviolette Automotive, a leading innovator in electric mobility, has announced a groundbreaking development that promises to significantly expand the charging infrastructure for electric two-wheelers (e-2Ws) in India. The company has launched the UVLYNC, a Type 2 charging interface that will allow its F77 electric motorcycle, and potentially other e-2Ws, to be compatible with AC car chargers. This move opens up a vast network of charging stations previously inaccessible to electric two-wheeler owners.
Currently, e-2W charging infrastructure in India is still developing, often limited to dedicated charging points or home charging setups. Ultraviolette’s UVLYNC adapter addresses this challenge by enabling access to the rapidly expanding network of AC car charging stations. According to the company’s statement, this interface will grant e-2W users access to over 4,000 AC car charging stations and more than 100,000 AC Type 2 car chargers currently deployed across the country.
This compatibility with the widespread Type 2 charging standard is a significant leap forward. Type 2 chargers are commonly used for electric cars and are becoming increasingly prevalent in public spaces, commercial establishments, and residential complexes. By leveraging this existing infrastructure, Ultraviolette is dramatically increasing the potential charging locations for its F77 motorcycle and paving the way for broader e-2W charging compatibility.
The UVLYNC adapter is priced at INR 2,999, making it an accessible and affordable solution for e-2W owners seeking greater charging flexibility. This competitive pricing strategy further underscores Ultraviolette’s commitment to promoting the adoption of electric vehicles.
Niraj Rajmohan, Co-Founder and CTO of Ultraviolette, emphasized the transformative potential of the UVLYNC, stating, “By providing a universal interface, this solution expands charging possibilities and fosters greater confidence in embracing electric mobility. As more riders transition to EVs, the UVLYNC will not only simplify daily charging needs but also accelerate the development of an inclusive and robust electric ecosystem nationwide.”
Rajmohan’s comments highlight the broader implications of this innovation. Beyond the immediate convenience for F77 owners, the UVLYNC has the potential to catalyze the growth of the entire electric vehicle ecosystem in India. By simplifying charging and reducing range anxiety, it can encourage more riders to switch to electric two-wheelers, contributing to cleaner and more sustainable transportation.
The UVLYNC’s universal design also raises the possibility of wider adoption across the e-2W industry. If other manufacturers adopt similar interfaces or if the UVLYNC becomes an industry standard, it could lead to a truly unified charging ecosystem, benefiting all electric two-wheeler riders.
Ultraviolette’s initiative comes at a crucial time for the Indian electric vehicle market. As concerns about air pollution and climate change grow, the demand for electric vehicles is rising rapidly. However, the lack of adequate charging infrastructure has been a major hurdle. Solutions like the UVLYNC, which creatively leverage existing infrastructure, are essential to overcome this challenge and accelerate the transition to electric mobility.
The introduction of the UVLYNC marks a significant milestone not just for Ultraviolette, but for the entire electric two-wheeler industry in India. It represents a practical and cost-effective approach to expanding charging access, fostering greater consumer confidence, and ultimately driving the growth of a robust and inclusive electric vehicle ecosystem. As more and more charging stations become available, and as more e-2W manufacturers embrace universal charging standards, the future of electric mobility in India looks brighter than ever.
