Hero MotoCorp's Vida Electric announces support for customers affected by floods

Hero MotoCorp's electric division, Vida Electric has announced support for its customers that are affected by Chennai floods. The manufacturer will be offering free of cost comprehensive checkup, free roadside assistance and a ‘Repair is On Us’ scheme. These services can be availed by dialing 18002668432 and they are only available till 31st December 2023.

The Repair is On Us scheme is basically a priority insurance support and depreciation charge coverage for flood-affected Vida vehicle insurance claims. Ather currently only has the V1 Pro electric scooter in its lineup. It is priced at ₹1.46 lakh ex-showroom.

Vida is not the only electric two-wheeler manufacturer to do so. Ather Energy has already announced free roadside assistance to the affected Ather scooter owners. Besides this, it is also offering free comprehensive vehicle checkups and other benefits as well. These benefits will be available between 9th December and 31st December 2023, claimed the automaker.

Cyclone Michuang has caused havoc in various coastal regions of Tamil Nadu. While the flood due to the cyclone has impacted the lives of the people in those regions adversely, vehicles including cars and two-wheelers too have been affected due to that. Because of this many other automobile manufacturers have offered their support and service to their customers.

Car manufacturers like Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors, Toyota, Renault, Hyundai, and Audi have already announced their respective supportive measures. Two-wheeler manufacturers like Yamaha, TVS and Suzuki Motorcycle have walked the same path. Vida is the latest automobile manufacturer to do so.

There are a few preventive steps that you can take that might reduce the chance of your vehicle getting affected by flood. You can park the vehicle at a higher ground, disconnect the battery pack, cover the vehicle to create a barrier and do not crank the vehicle if the vehicle has been submerged in water.
