Indore- Wings EV Private Limited, the Indore based an electric vehicle start up company has launched new electric micro car called Robin, two-seater capacity and manoeuvrability of a motorcycle.

Mr. Pranav Dandekar, CEO, and co-founder, said, the step is expected to enhance “reduced congestion, personal commuting with zero pollution, and minimal road space usage. Robin has passed every safety test run by ARAI Pune, making it safer than any two- or three-wheeler now available on the market.  We aim to sell 3,000 units in the first year, with our Indore plant capable of producing 10,000 units annually.”

The CEO of Wings EV said that the company has raised money from a number of sources, including Venture Highway and several well-known angel investors from Silicon Valley and India. Dandekar, who worked in Silicon Valley for 17 years, added that the business did more than 300 test drives in Bengaluru and conducted user research in six Indian cities.

Before becoming national, Robin would first be launched in Chennai, Hyderabad, or Pune later in 2025. "We intend to begin shipping in April 2025. We can see what our first manufacturing batch will look like based on the orders we now have. We could think about establishing a production facility there if there is a lot of demand in the southern markets.

Robin is scheduled to be available in three different variants including a basic 65 km range non-AC model priced at ₹2 lakh (ex-showroom), a mid-variant with a fan and 90 km range priced at ₹2.5 lakh, and a luxury variant priced at ₹3 lakh that comes with a 90 km range, AC, and proprietary auditory alarm systems for increased safety. With most flyovers lying between 3 and 4 degrees, the fully loaded Robin can climb a 12-degree rise, surpassing the necessary 7 degrees.
