TVS has introduced a new variant for the Orbiter: The TVS Orbiter V1. Comes with a 1.8kWh battery with IDC certified range of 86 kilometres. It is now the most affordable option in the brand’s EV lineup.
The design is largely the same as the previous Orbiter (now renamed Orbiter V2), with an 845mm flat-foam seat, a 290mm straight-line footboard, and 34-litre underseat storage. With an ample amount of space and a comfortable riding posture, the TVS Orbiter aims to be a good daily commuter.
In terms of features, TVS has carried over most of them from the Orbiter V2 to the Orbiter V1, like the coloured LCD cluster with turn-by-turn navigation, incoming call display, and personalised alerts, safety alerts, anti-theft, and geo-fencing. It also gets connected app features, OTA updates, hill-hold, cruise control, and parking assist. Dual ride modes are also available: Eco and Power, with regenerative braking for improved efficiency. Customers who prefer TVS Orbiter V1 without BaaS can purchase it at ₹84,500 ex-showroom, making it ₹15,000 more affordable than the Orbiter V2.
TVS has introduced Battery as a Service across its EV portfolio to reduce the upfront cost of ownership. Now the range starts with ₹49,000 with BaaS for the Orbiter V1. Monthly plans for the service start at ₹862 per month with an extended warranty of up to five years/70,000 kilometres. TVS offers unlimited usage throughout the BaaS tenure of choice.
