This adoption of the LECCS standard by Jitendra EV is seen as a key milestone in advancing electric mobility and a sustainable future in India.
Jitendra EV has announced the adoption of the IS17017 (Part 2 / Sec 7) standard, also known as LECCS (Light Electric Combined Charging System), for its JMT 1000 SW electric scooter. This decision will allow Jitendra EV customers to access Ather's fast-charging network, enhancing the convenience and accessibility of charging infrastructure for its electric two-wheelers in India.

The JMT 1000 SW scooter, designed for both personal and business use, will now be compatible with the fast-charging stations on AtherGrid. This electric scooter boasts a gross vehicle weight of 255 kg and a payload capacity of 150 kg. To ensure a safe and comfortable ride, it features tubeless tyres on alloy wheels, front disc brakes, and rear drum brakes. Additionally, the scooter's 175 mm ground clearance allows it to easily handle various types of terrain.

Powered by The Energy Company battery, the JMT 1000 SW delivers a range of 100 km per charge and can be fully charged in just 50 minutes. The scooter is equipped with a comprehensive cluster display that includes distance to empty, fault finding indication, thermal propagation alert, battery percentage indication, and time to charge. Other useful features include a USB charging port, three-speed modes, and a reverse gear.

Expansion plans

Currently, only the JMT 1000 SW model is equipped to use Ather's fast-charging network. However, Jitendra EV plans to extend this solution to additional models in the future to further improve the EV ownership experience by offering seamless and efficient charging options. This initiative's effectiveness was confirmed through a successful pilot program conducted in Goa, where the new charging solution was tested under real-world conditions. Following this success, Jitendra EV is moving forward with commercial production to make this technology available to customers nationwide.

"We are thrilled to introduce the JMT 1000 SW to AtherGrid’s network, reinforcing our commitment to providing superior charging solutions for our customers," said Samkit Shah, Co-Founder and CEO of Jitendra EV. "This partnership not only enhances our charging infrastructure but also supports our vision of making electric vehicles more accessible and user-friendly."

Aravind Prasad, Head of Charging Infrastructure at Ather Energy, expressed his views on the collaboration. "It is great to see Indian companies adopt the indigenously developed LECCS fast charging standard. Since the very beginning, at Ather, we have focused on building a fast charging ecosystem that is interoperable and scalable. We are glad to see Jitendra EV adopt this standard which will provide them access to Ather’s fast charging network," he said.

This adoption of the LECCS standard by Jitendra EV is seen as a key milestone in advancing electric mobility and a sustainable future in India. By continuing to expand its offerings, Jitendra EV is poised to improve the accessibility and convenience of using electric vehicles across the country.
