Hyundai Creta Electric gets Battery-as-a-Service option, prices now start at ₹10.99 lakh
- Battery subscription model aims to reduce upfront ownership cost of the Hyundai Creta Electric.
Hyundai Motor India has introduced a new Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) ownership model for the Creta Electric, making its electric SUV more accessible to buyers. With the new ownership option, the Hyundai Creta Electric is now available at a starting ex-showroom price of ₹10.99 lakh, while the battery is offered separately through a subscription plan.
Under the new model, customers can finance the battery independently, with Hyundai claiming battery EMI costs start from ₹3.9 per kilometre. The company says the move is aimed at reducing the initial purchase cost of the EV, which remains one of the biggest barriers for prospective electric car buyers.
