VinFast Klara S electric scooter patented in India, gets 194 km of range
- VinFast Klara S uses LFP battery pack instead of Lithium-ion.
Vietnamese company, VinFast has filed for a new design patent in India for their Klara S electric scooter. The scooter is already on sale in the global market and there is a possibility that it might come to the Indian market as well. However, it is not confirmed right now. It is important to note that VinFast has signed an MoU with the Tamil Nadu government and they have a 400-acre manufacturing plant in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu for electric vehicles.
Despite being a modern scooter, the Klara S has a bit of a retro design theme. There is LED lighting all around with a hexagonal headlamp with a dual-tone theme for the apron. VinFast offers the Klara S electric scooter in 5 paint colours. There is Green, Dark blue-black, Pearl white-black, Matte black and Deep red-black.
