Hero Electric on Thursday said it has partnered with fintech start-up Autovert Technologies for subscription-based financing plans for its electric two-wheelers.

Under the partnership, Hero Electric customers can avail of all-inclusive subscription plans starting at ₹2,999 per month along with bundled services such as comprehensive insurance, service and maintenance, loyalty bonuses and attractive upgrade options, the company said in a statement.

"These subscription plans are positioned to cater to the increasing demand from customers for alternative ownership options, which offer more flexibility and features than traditional auto finance," it added.

Hero Electric said its partnership with Autovert is to cater to the ever-changing customer preference for a 'digital first experience', which will eventually enable faster adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in India.

Autovert would utilise its internet of things (IOT)-based technology platform called 'Autovert Plug' to manage the vehicle through its lifecycle in the hands of the subscriber.
