How it works

No new vehicle loan. No scrapping what you already own. Three steps from diesel to electric.

01

Vehicle assessment

Tell us your vehicle make, model, and daily use. Our engineers confirm which conversion kit fits and give you an upfront cost estimate — before you commit to anything.

02

Local partner installs

A certified installer in your area fits the battery pack, motor, and controller. Standardized kits mean the same parts and warranty regardless of which city you're in. Usually done in 3–5 days.

03

Drive on electricity

Same vehicle, same route, no petrol. Track your cost-per-km savings from day one. Parts are standard across the kit range, so servicing stays straightforward at any partner workshop.

Three kits. Every vehicle category.

Standardized modules mean the same parts and warranty across every installation partner in our network.

Who it's for

If you run commercial vehicles for a living and fuel costs are eating your margins, this is for you.

Delivery fleets

Multiple vans on fixed city routes? Convert one vehicle at a time — no lump-sum fleet replacement, no new vehicle loan. Each conversion pays back faster when your drivers run 150+ km a day.

School van operators

Cut the running cost per km on school routes. Parents already trust your vehicle — keep it, convert it, and reduce emissions on routes where children are breathing the exhaust every morning.

Auto-rickshaw operators

India's highest km-per-day operators. Conversion cost pays back fastest when you're running 200+ km daily. Same number of passengers, a fraction of the fuel bill.

Rural transport providers

Last-mile transport where new EV dealerships don't reach. Our installation partner network covers towns and tehsils, not just metros. Standardized parts mean local mechanics can service the kit.

Common questions

Does the conversion affect my vehicle's RC or registration?

Yes — a converted vehicle needs its registration updated to reflect the new powertrain type. We handle the paperwork with your RTO as part of the installation package. The process is straightforward for commercial vehicles; we've done it across multiple states and know what each RTO requires.

Will my existing insurance still be valid after conversion?

Your current policy needs to be endorsed to cover the new powertrain — a standard procedure once the RC is updated. Most commercial insurers in India do this without issuing a new policy. We provide you with the conversion certificate your insurer needs.

What happens when the battery eventually needs replacing?

LFP batteries in our kits are designed for 2,000+ charge cycles — roughly 8–10 years at typical daily use. When a battery reaches end-of-life, it's a straight swap at any partner workshop using the same standard module. Because the kits are modular, you're not replacing the motor or controller, just the battery pack.

Is my specific vehicle compatible?

We support most petrol and diesel commercial vehicles manufactured after 2005, including Bajaj, Piaggio, and TVS three-wheelers; Mahindra, Tata, and Force vans; and several cargo truck platforms. Submit your vehicle details through the estimate form and our engineers will confirm compatibility within 2 working days — no guesswork on your end.

Who services the kit after installation?

Any Retrofit Roads certified partner workshop in our network. Because the kits are standardized, a mechanic in Coimbatore who trained on our kit can service a vehicle originally installed in Pune. Scheduled servicing is minor — mainly software health checks and battery terminal inspection. Annual service costs are significantly lower than petrol engine maintenance.

Can I finance the conversion cost?

We're working with NBFC partners to offer EMI options specifically for commercial vehicle conversions. Mention it in your estimate request and we'll include financing options in our response. Several state governments also offer EV conversion subsidies under FAME and state EV policies — we'll flag any schemes your vehicle qualifies for.
