Price discount under FAME-II Scheme:
Okinawa was the first Indian scooter brand to get the FAME-II benefit after testing and certification from the ARAI. First of all Okinawa’s two variants (i-Praise+ and Ridge+) of scooter was benefited from this scheme. Company had made announcement on the 05th August 2019 and said it has reduced prices of its products by up to Rs. 8,600/- following GST reduction on electric vehicles. Price of Okinawa range under lead acid battery had reduced by Rs 2,500/- to Rs 4,700/- and Li-ion battery operated scooters cost was reduced by Rs. 3,400/- to Rs. 8,600/- following the government’s move to slash the GST rate on EVs to 05% from 12% earlier. So, FAME-II scheme is applicable on Okinawa’s products.
My Words:
Okinawa has wide range of electric scooter enough to satisfy all types of customer. Battery range what Okinawa is offering is also satisfactory at specified price of each models. Hero electric is old player but as per my opinion what Okinawa is providing as product quality and specification is just better than the other competitor in the market.
