The electric vehicle market in India just got a new entry-level champion. Wings EV, an innovative startup from Indore, Madhya Pradesh, has started customer deliveries of its ultra-compact electric quadricycle, the Robin EV, priced from a groundbreaking Rs 1.99 lakh ex-showroom.

The Robin EV is a 2+1 seater (two adults plus one child), making it ideal for short family errands, school runs, or solo office commutes. Built completely from scratch in India, it uses fiber body panels screwed onto a sturdy frame, keeping weight low and repairs simple. The vehicle has passed rigorous ARAI crash tests and is fully road-legal, giving buyers peace of mind in a segment often questioned for safety.
Under the floor sits a 5.6 kWh LFP (lithium iron phosphate) battery, known for longevity and thermal stability. It delivers a practical 90 km real-world range, with a top speed of 64 kmph and brisk 0-40 kmph acceleration in 5 seconds. A gradeability of 10 degrees ensures it handles city flyovers without struggle. Power comes from dual 3 kW BLDC motors at the rear, producing a combined 6 kW and an impressive 282 Nm of torque for zippy urban performance.
Charging is straightforward: a full charge takes about 5 hours from a standard socket, while 30 minutes adds roughly 10 km of range. Wings EV has incorporated passive cooling and safety alerts to monitor battery health, addressing common concerns in budget electrics.
Variants and Pricing: Accessible for Everyone
| Variant | Key Features | Price (ex-showroom) |
|---|---|---|
| E | Base model, essential features | Rs 1.99 lakh |
| S | Mid-spec, added convenience | Mid-range |
| X | Top-spec with AC, extended range | Rs 2.99 lakh |
The price difference mainly comes from air conditioning and slight range enhancements in the X variant, allowing buyers to choose based on budget and needs.
Built for Indian Cities: Practicality First
The Robin EV shines in scenarios where bigger cars struggle:
- Parking: Takes motorcycle-sized space.
- Traffic: Nimble size for weaving through jams.
- Cost: Low running expense (under Rs 1/km) and minimal maintenance.
- Safety: ARAI-certified structure, alarms for issues.
Wings EV positions it as a “perfect companion for daily office commutes,” especially in congested metros.
Delivery and Availability Update
Test drives have begun in Bengaluru, with the company focusing the initial rollout on the city before expanding to others. Deliveries are underway for early bookers, marking the official market entry of this disruptive quadricycle.
Why Robin EV Matters in India’s EV Story
At Rs 1.99 lakh, the Robin EV undercuts even popular electric two-wheelers on total cost while offering four wheels, doors, and weather protection. It creates a new “micro-car” category for budget-conscious urbanites who want more than a scooter but less than a full hatchback.
In a market dominated by Tata, MG, and Mahindra, Wings EV proves startups can innovate at the entry level. As charging infrastructure grows and awareness spreads, vehicles like Robin could accelerate EV adoption among first-time buyers and price-sensitive families.
