The Switch Iev8 costs about Rs 18 lakh to Rs 20 lakh ex-showroom. On-road price is higher because RTO tax, insurance and registration get added on top, and those change by state. Ask two or three dealers in your city, because discounts differ.
About 250 km on a full charge. Real range drops with a full load, hills and heavy traffic, so plan for a little less than the rated figure.
Rated payload is 4,000 kg. Gross vehicle weight is 7,200 kg, which is the truck plus the load together. Stay inside this figure. Overloading breaks springs and tyres early and invites fines at the check post.
It uses an electric motor rated at 70 HP with 230 Nm of torque. There is no engine, so no oil changes and no fuel filters.
Gross vehicle weight is 7,200 kg, or about 7.2 tonnes. GVW is the total allowed weight of the truck plus body plus goods, and it decides which licence and permit you need.
It is mainly used for mid‑mile logistics and cargo transport. If your daily load and route match that kind of work, this truck fits.
It comes with a Single‑speed automatic gearbox. An automatic is easier in stop-start city traffic and takes less out of the driver on a long day.
Yes, air conditioning is part of the cabin. That matters on long runs in summer, and drivers stay with the job longer when the cabin is comfortable.
It has 6 tyres in a 4x2 layout. Tyre size is 7.50‑16 16PR.
Switch Mobility gives a manufacturer warranty on this truck. The exact months and kilometre limit change by model and state, so get it in writing from your dealer at the time of booking.
The closest options at this size are Erisha E Cargo LCV (7,490 kg GVW, from about Rs 9 lakh), Jupiter EV Star CC (7,000 kg GVW, from about Rs 4.5 lakh) and Eka 7T (6,950 kg GVW, from about Rs 45 lakh). Compare payload, mileage and the service network on your own route before you decide, because those three decide your cost per km more than the sticker price does.
Yes. The Switch Iev8 has a GVW of 7,200 kg, within the 7,500 kg light motor vehicle limit. The Supreme Court ruled on 6 November 2024 that an LMV licence holder may drive a transport vehicle of this weight without a separate transport licence. Hazardous-goods work needs extra qualifications.
