Greaves Eltra City XTRA Sets Record with 324 km on One Charge

India's electric mobility just made a major leap forward. Greaves Electric Mobility's new electric car, the Greaves Eltra City XTRA, has set a new standard. This electric e-rickshaw hit the news lately when it traveled an amazing 324 km on a single charge, earning a place in the India Book of Records. This isn't only a record for people who work in commercial transportation. It changes the game.

A Trip That Made a Point

This was not a test in a lab or a simulation. A single driver drove the record run on genuine roads, from Bengaluru to Ranipet. The Greaves auto rickshaw never stopped to charge during the voyage. Yes, that's right: 324 kilometers without stopping.

To give you an idea, the Greaves Eltra City Auto normally has a range of about 170 km when it's loaded with three people, such as a driver and three passengers. So, this record illustrates how far the electric Greaves City XTRA can go when it is pushed in the right way. For drivers who rely on their cars for revenue every day, this kind of performance can make a big difference.

What Makes It Work Under the Hood

A 10.75 kWh lithium ferro phosphate (LFP) battery and a 9.5 kW peak output motor are at the heart of this record-breaking machine. This configuration gives you both range and dependability. How fast is the top speed? A smooth 60 km/h, which is great for short highway stretches and congested city streets.

Here's a small list of other things it has to offer:

• 330 kg of baggage space—great for people or light goods
  
• 12° climbing ability—easily goes over flyovers and up hills
  
• 12-inch radial tires made for Indian roads
  
• Digital dashboard that indicates range, speed, battery life, and even how to get there
  

And yes, safety has not been forgotten. The reinforced side panels and visual obstacles at the back make it safer, and the 180 mm drum brakes make it easy to stop quickly.

Prices That Make Sense

You would imagine that a car like this costs a lot of money. But the e-rickshaw price starts at about ₹3.57 lakh (ex-showroom). The final cost could be significantly cheaper because of government incentives through FAME-II and different state EV regulations.

What else makes it so appealing? It costs less than ₹1 to run it for every kilometer. Owners may relax for a long time because the battery is covered for 5 years or 1.2 lakh km and the car is covered for 3 years or 80,000 km.

Greaves: A Brand That Knows the Way

Greaves has been here before. The company has a history of making reliable commercial vehicles that goes back more than 165 years. With electric models like the Eltra City XTRA, it is now taking that history into the age of electric vehicles.

Do you remember the Greaves Eltra City Auto model from 2024? In a comparable test, that one went 225 km on a single charge. The new electric Greaves City XTRA has not only matched it, but it has also gone almost 100 miles beyond. That's what progress looks like.

Made for Real People and Real Roads

The Greaves Eltra City Auto is made for you, whether you operate a fleet of vehicles or drive alone for a living. It runs for a long time, doesn't need to be charged often, and doesn't need much upkeep. It's clever, too, with digital features like distance-to-empty and Bluetooth connectivity.

Final Thoughts

The City XTRA Greaves auto rickshaw isn't just another electric e-rickshaw. Drivers that need performance, dependability, and value can count on it. It sets a new bar for what a commercial vehicle can and should be with its 324 km range, low price, and useful features.
