We’ve got you covered, there are three ways to charge your vehicles:

●        PORTABLE CHARGER: Charge anywhere at a standard AC 5A socket 

●        REMOVABLE BATTERIES: Batteries can be carried along to charge anywhere using the portable battery charger. This comes with an additional Y-connector to charge both the batteries at the same time. We recommend you to charge both the batteries together, if in situations you can only charge one battery at a time please interchange the batteries between charges.

FAST-CHARGING STATIONS: You may also choose to fast charge your electric scooter at our public charging network. You can find the nearest station on the VIDA App.

Each VIDA comes with two removable batteries (identical and interchangeable) which can be charged separately, practically anywhere, using the standard portable charger, given as a standard accessory

It is our relentless effort to provide you a charging station at a place near you. We are working with all other EV makers to universalize the access to charging but, for now, you can charge your VIDA only at VIDA stations

The cost to fast charge your VIDA at a VIDA fast charging network will be approx. Rs. 20 per unit.

As of now, the portable charger comes with a fixed length that cannot be extended. Also kindly avoid charging using power extension cords

Installing a Power Socket is a common activity that can be done by any qualified electrician. Unfortunately, we will not be extending this service as of now. 

VIDA will consume ~ 3.8  units per recharge cycle based on your model.
