Overview

Clean Electric develops and manufactures fast-charging battery packs for electric two- and three-wheelers, with two-wheeler batteries charging in 12–15 minutes and three-wheeler batteries in 20–25 minutes. The company plans to roll out battery packs for four-wheelers in Q1 2025 and for heavy electric vehicles later in 2025. It is scaling manufacturing capacity from roughly 20 MWh currently to a targeted 150–200 MWh annual production by the end of the year. Clean Electric intends to use new capital to expand R&D, including electric car battery packs for fleets and commercial vehicles, and to scale ARR by 8–10X over the next 12 months. The company sells its batteries at a 10–20% premium today but expects the premium to narrow as production scales. It operates across 35 cities in 10 states, has 80 employees, and its founding team includes Akash Gupta, Abhinav Roy, and CPO Ankit Joshi. Clean Electric designs, manufactures, and supports advanced energy storage solutions for mobile and stationary applications, with products that include liquid-cooled batteries for two- and three-wheelers and battery-swapping systems. The company has filed patents for a direct liquid-cooling technology that places cells in 100% contact with coolant, which it says improves safety (fireproof), enables 25-minute charging, and extends life by 1.5x. Clean Electric plans to expand R&D, sales, and operations and to establish a manufacturing plant in Pune with capacity to produce 5,000 battery packs per month. The firm also intends to develop solutions for quicker charging, renewable energy storage, and battery switching, and believes its products can be exported to markets in the global south. Clean Electric was founded in 2020 and positions its technology as addressing EV safety, charging time, and battery-life concerns that affect EV adoption in India. The company raised fresh capital in the seed round noted below to support these initiatives.
