Hyundai has launched the Creta Electric with a Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) scheme, making the SUV a lot more accessible for buyers. That said, with the battery rental, the prices of the Creta Electric start from Rs 10.99 lakh + Rs 3.9 per km usage fee. This reduces its upfront price by almost Rs 7 lakh.
Currently, Creta Electric’s rivals like Maruti eVitara, Toyota Ebella, MG Windsor EV and ZS EV are being offered with battery rental programmes.
