Okaya Electric Vehicles (EV), India’s fastest-growing electric vehicle brand, has received ICAT certification for its electric vehicles under AIS 156 Amendment III Phase 2, which covers safety requirements for electric vehicles and includes designing, constructing, and testing the battery pack and its components to ensure they meet the safety standards set by the government. With the AIS 156 Phase 2 certification, Okaya EV has now become one of the first EV manufacturers in the two-wheeler segment to move towards complete compliance with the new norms.
Okaya EV supports advancements in battery safety, reliability, and performance, which includes high-standard wires & chargers with overcharging protection, as well as thermal protection, audio visual warning systems, and smart BMS. The company has also added an additional safety feature in the form of a buzzer to alert the rider at least 5 minutes prior to thermal runaway. Additionally, it has an IP67 rating that ensures all critical components of the vehicle are protected from dust and water.
The company’s high-performing EV two-wheelers are equipped with an LFP (Lithium iron phosphate) battery that is both waterproof and dustproof, and has a longer lifespan compared to an NMC battery.
Okaya Electric Vehicles Managing Director Anshul Gupta said, “Our extensive experience in battery technology has allowed us to develop safest electric vehicles for our customers. The certification process involves comprehensive tests to ensure that our vehicle can withstand various factors.”
