Battery Health After 1 Lakh km: What Really Happened?

According to Ultraviolette, the battery pack on Harish’s F77 retained 96% health even after the 100,000 km run. The company estimates that the rider saved 4,59,009 in fuel costs over this period compared to running a petrol-powered motorcycle.

Ultraviolette co-founder and CEO Narayan Subramaniam described the milestone as significant for electric touring, noting that the F77 was developed to challenge typical assumptions around EV durability. Co-founder and CTO Niraj Rajmohan added that the battery system was engineered for long-term consistency and performance, and that the results align with the company’s internal testing data.

The 1 lakh km were accumulated across a wide range of terrain and climate conditions. Harish rode the motorcycle in temperatures ranging from –15°C to 48°C, a variation of 63°C. The company said this usage pattern offered a strong test of the motorcycle’s thermal and mechanical systems. In one stretch, he covered 613 km within 24 hours.
