As we aware from mechanical engineering & electrical engineering, the Faulty/ Defective Part’s never safe guard the product and it might cause cascading damages to the product, this is very basic knowledge, if we have common sense, we supposed to accept the truth. Can you please let me know one good reason why your team is failing to understand this? And still why I’m getting robotic response like currently battery is out of warranty coverage !!!?????From below past mail chains we have asked the specific questions to do the route cause analysis & impact analysis for each problem statements and we have given more than enough time to do the same but we have got just generic answers which layman can do !!!??? Actually, Smart and intelligent peoples only can-do the deep dive analysis to focus the problem and arrive the perfect solutions. At the time of purchase 100 kilometres promised for each re-charge and currently personally I got around 20 kilometres for each re-charge but your team saying around 25 kilometres.If you are really satisfied with your product’s quality and performance then you should publish a white paper articles to this world to reveal about your product quality & performance for each cycles of re-charge with time line along with calculated parameters . If you failed to do then I planning to push you through medias and social medias. Please be aware of it.

During warranty period if any unresolved issues are still open for any reasons them Company should be the primary accountable even though if warranty has expired now and please do not try to allow the blame game or push it to customer is accountable. Can you please try to get valid answers for the below concerns? The problem will be complicated for the below reasons.  If you blindly trust your team’s internal responses. If you are negligent about the problems Note : We could see better products from other brands like Okinawa scooters, ather energy , etc.. from this competitive world, If you are still on sleeping mode then it’s like mobile 2G technology business story. Dear Sarad,Nowadays at least I’m getting some responses and Thanks for the same but still my concerns are not addressed very clearly , can you please try to answer for the below questions. 1. From the Day one while driving the vehicle is Auto off with vibrated sound when we crossing the very small speed break or Road dent and your technical team did several attempts to resolve but why still open issues very long time? , please share the detailed analysis report. Customer was not specific when the vehicle is getting cut off. Whether it happens immediately, after 10 kms or once in a day or two. He was vaguely complaining the vehicle is getting off. Our engineer Kiran, Dealer Technician tested the vehicle separately and noticed no such complaints in the vehicle and the vehicle was running fine even on humps. 2. For the Mileage & Battery Backup issues your technical team did several attempts to resolve but since very long time why still it’s open issues?Whenever the Mileage issue was raised by the customer. Dealer has checked the Battery in BCT and the Battery was found OK as per our norms. 3. Why Charger alone replaced but why battery is not replaced ? , please share the detailed analysis report. What components found defective under our terms and condition of warranty will only be replaced. Dealer found the charger was defective and the same was replaced and the Battery was found OK, so the Battery was not replaced. 4. During warranty period if any unresolved issues are still open for any reason who is accountable ( Company / Customer ) ?Whatever issues raised by the customer has been attended . If any components failed after the warranty lapses, then company is not responsible for replacing such components including Battery. Just because the customer complains some issue during warranty period and at that point of time, if the components are found OK then the components will not be replaced and even if the same components fails once the warranty is lapsed, then also company is not responsible. So only warranty policy are framed.5. There are other issues like front wheel suspenser creating noise if we cross the very small speed break / Road dent , disk break issues etc.. when will be resolved ?Whatever the issue customer has raised, the same has been attended to the best of the ability of our Team as well as Dealers team. However these can be once checked as the customer was not again not specific what is the disc brake issue. 6. Photon 72V OEM Amptek batteries are having 12 months warranty only in open marked (6-month replacement + 6month Prorated ) but Exide Powersafe NXT 26AH SMF Battery having 36 months full replacement warranty in this case, why poor quality Amptek batteries are promoted as OEM battery by your team without considering below parameters? The warranty on EV Battery and the Battery for IC engines varies and decision of fitment of amptex Battery is the decision of the Management. Exide Power Safe NXT 26 AH SMF Battery are used only for Online UPS , Telecom application and this Battery cannot be applied for EV.Sl. NoParametersPhoton 72V OEM Amptek batteryExide Power safe NXT 26AH SMF Battery Comments1Warranty12 months warranty only in open marked (6-month replacement + 6month Prorated ) 36 Months Free Replacement Warranty , including bulgeThis Exide warranty is good for customer delight & business growth2Backup & performanceAfter 100+ cycle backup capacity will be reducedAfter 100+ cycle backup capacity will be increase as per the attached data sheetExide backup & performance is good per the attached data sheet.

If myself or anybody did this analysis before buy this product then nobody never prefers Photon 72V product. It could be any of the below reasons for the unresolved issues are still open since very long time Insufficient technical knowledge – Our Team as well as Dealer team are well trained and have sufficient knowledge . Negligent service / poor care - HE is the only company in EV industry who takes care of all their customer/ For warranty claim approval process might be TDS job to replace the parts Any Warranty replacement takes place immediately is the same is of manufacturing defect.

Please find below my clarifications on each of the issues: 1) Battery Warranty – Photon, which you have purchased contains lead acid battery. It comes with 1 year of warranty on the battery and 2 years of warranty on the vehicle (with T&C). This was communicated to you by our dealership and our service team during the time of purchase of the vehicle and the same is also mentioned in the owner’s manual shared with you (PFA- Copy of warranty policy in owner’s manual ,Page no 13). 2) Service team response – Our service team from dealership and Hero Electric tried to explain the same and also shared relevant information through whatapp (PFA Whatsapp communication). 3) Pending service issues – All your service requests have been recorded in our Job card and have been addressed as well. Our service team was available and worked to resolve all your issues timelessly. However, if you still feel there is any pending issue, we will be happy to assist (PFA Job cards). It’s unfair to accuse Hero Electric and its dealership even after sharing sufficient information on battery warranty policy and other service issues. Hero Electric is committed to its customers and never go against defined policies and take these allegations very seriously. We understand your concern but at the same we appreciate your understanding on our product and battery warranty policies at the time of purchase Request you to please with draw all these allegations. Please reach out to me for any further clarifications or support.

During warranty period if any unresolved issues are still open for any reasons them Company should be the primary accountable even though if warranty has expired now and please do not try to allow the blame game or push it to customer is accountable. Can you please try to get valid answers for the below concerns? The problem will be complicated for the below reasons.  If you blindly trust your team’s internal responses. If you are negligent about the problems Note : We could see better products from other brands like Okinawa scooters, ather energy , etc.. from this competitive world, If you are still on sleeping mode then it’s like mobile 2G technology business story. Dear Sarad,Nowadays at least I’m getting some responses and Thanks for the same but still my concerns are not addressed very clearly , can you please try to answer for the below questions. 1. From the Day one while driving the vehicle is Auto off with vibrated sound when we crossing the very small speed break or Road dent and your technical team did several attempts to resolve but why still open issues very long time? , please share the detailed analysis report. Customer was not specific when the vehicle is getting cut off. Whether it happens immediately, after 10 kms or once in a day or two. He was vaguely complaining the vehicle is getting off. Our engineer Kiran, Dealer Technician tested the vehicle separately and noticed no such complaints in the vehicle and the vehicle was running fine even on humps. 2. For the Mileage & Battery Backup issues your technical team did several attempts to resolve but since very long time why still it’s open issues?Whenever the Mileage issue was raised by the customer. Dealer has checked the Battery in BCT and the Battery was found OK as per our norms. 3. Why Charger alone replaced but why battery is not replaced ? , please share the detailed analysis report. What components found defective under our terms and condition of warranty will only be replaced. Dealer found the charger was defective and the same was replaced and the Battery was found OK, so the Battery was not replaced. 4. During warranty period if any unresolved issues are still open for any reason who is accountable ( Company / Customer ) ?Whatever issues raised by the customer has been attended . If any components failed after the warranty lapses, then company is not responsible for replacing such components including Battery. Just because the customer complains some issue during warranty period and at that point of time, if the components are found OK then the components will not be replaced and even if the same components fails once the warranty is lapsed, then also company is not responsible. So only warranty policy are framed.5. There are other issues like front wheel suspenser creating noise if we cross the very small speed break / Road dent , disk break issues etc.. when will be resolved ?Whatever the issue customer has raised, the same has been attended to the best of the ability of our Team as well as Dealers team. However these can be once checked as the customer was not again not specific what is the disc brake issue. 6. Photon 72V OEM Amptek batteries are having 12 months warranty only in open marked (6-month replacement + 6month Prorated ) but Exide Powersafe NXT 26AH SMF Battery having 36 months full replacement warranty in this case, why poor quality Amptek batteries are promoted as OEM battery by your team without considering below parameters? The warranty on EV Battery and the Battery for IC engines varies and decision of fitment of amptex Battery is the decision of the Management. Exide Power Safe NXT 26 AH SMF Battery are used only for Online UPS , Telecom application and this Battery cannot be applied for EV.Sl. NoParametersPhoton 72V OEM Amptek batteryExide Power safe NXT 26AH SMF Battery Comments1Warranty12 months warranty only in open marked (6-month replacement + 6month Prorated ) 36 Months Free Replacement Warranty , including bulgeThis Exide warranty is good for customer delight & business growth2Backup & performanceAfter 100+ cycle backup capacity will be reducedAfter 100+ cycle backup capacity will be increase as per the attached data sheetExide backup & performance is good per the attached data sheet.

If myself or anybody did this analysis before buy this product then nobody never prefers Photon 72V product. It could be any of the below reasons for the unresolved issues are still open since very long time Insufficient technical knowledge – Our Team as well as Dealer team are well trained and have sufficient knowledge . Negligent service / poor care - HE is the only company in EV industry who takes care of all their customer/ For warranty claim approval process might be TDS job to replace the parts Any Warranty replacement takes place immediately is the same is of manufacturing defect.

Please find below my clarifications on each of the issues: 1) Battery Warranty – Photon, which you have purchased contains lead acid battery. It comes with 1 year of warranty on the battery and 2 years of warranty on the vehicle (with T&C). This was communicated to you by our dealership and our service team during the time of purchase of the vehicle and the same is also mentioned in the owner’s manual shared with you (PFA- Copy of warranty policy in owner’s manual ,Page no 13). 2) Service team response – Our service team from dealership and Hero Electric tried to explain the same and also shared relevant information through whatapp (PFA Whatsapp communication). 3) Pending service issues – All your service requests have been recorded in our Job card and have been addressed as well. Our service team was available and worked to resolve all your issues timelessly. However, if you still feel there is any pending issue, we will be happy to assist (PFA Job cards). It’s unfair to accuse Hero Electric and its dealership even after sharing sufficient information on battery warranty policy and other service issues. Hero Electric is committed to its customers and never go against defined policies and take these allegations very seriously. We understand your concern but at the same we appreciate your understanding on our product and battery warranty policies at the time of purchase Request you to please with draw all these allegations. Please reach out to me for any further clarifications or support.

During warranty period if any unresolved issues are still open for any reasons them Company should be the primary accountable even though if warranty has expired now and please do not try to allow the blame game or push it to customer is accountable. Can you please try to get valid answers for the below concerns? The problem will be complicated for the below reasons.  If you blindly trust your team’s internal responses. If you are negligent about the problems Note : We could see better products from other brands like Okinawa scooters, ather energy , etc.. from this competitive world, If you are still on sleeping mode then it’s like mobile 2G technology business story. Dear Sarad,Nowadays at least I’m getting some responses and Thanks for the same but still my concerns are not addressed very clearly , can you please try to answer for the below questions. 1. From the Day one while driving the vehicle is Auto off with vibrated sound when we crossing the very small speed break or Road dent and your technical team did several attempts to resolve but why still open issues very long time? , please share the detailed analysis report. Customer was not specific when the vehicle is getting cut off. Whether it happens immediately, after 10 kms or once in a day or two. He was vaguely complaining the vehicle is getting off. Our engineer Kiran, Dealer Technician tested the vehicle separately and noticed no such complaints in the vehicle and the vehicle was running fine even on humps. 2. For the Mileage & Battery Backup issues your technical team did several attempts to resolve but since very long time why still it’s open issues?Whenever the Mileage issue was raised by the customer. Dealer has checked the Battery in BCT and the Battery was found OK as per our norms. 3. Why Charger alone replaced but why battery is not replaced ? , please share the detailed analysis report. What components found defective under our terms and condition of warranty will only be replaced. Dealer found the charger was defective and the same was replaced and the Battery was found OK, so the Battery was not replaced. 4. During warranty period if any unresolved issues are still open for any reason who is accountable ( Company / Customer ) ?Whatever issues raised by the customer has been attended . If any components failed after the warranty lapses, then company is not responsible for replacing such components including Battery. Just because the customer complains some issue during warranty period and at that point of time, if the components are found OK then the components will not be replaced and even if the same components fails once the warranty is lapsed, then also company is not responsible. So only warranty policy are framed.5. There are other issues like front wheel suspenser creating noise if we cross the very small speed break / Road dent , disk break issues etc.. when will be resolved ?Whatever the issue customer has raised, the same has been attended to the best of the ability of our Team as well as Dealers team. However these can be once checked as the customer was not again not specific what is the disc brake issue. 6. Photon 72V OEM Amptek batteries are having 12 months warranty only in open marked (6-month replacement + 6month Prorated ) but Exide Powersafe NXT 26AH SMF Battery having 36 months full replacement warranty in this case, why poor quality Amptek batteries are promoted as OEM battery by your team without considering below parameters? The warranty on EV Battery and the Battery for IC engines varies and decision of fitment of amptex Battery is the decision of the Management. Exide Power Safe NXT 26 AH SMF Battery are used only for Online UPS , Telecom application and this Battery cannot be applied for EV.Sl. NoParametersPhoton 72V OEM Amptek batteryExide Power safe NXT 26AH SMF Battery Comments1Warranty12 months warranty only in open marked (6-month replacement + 6month Prorated ) 36 Months Free Replacement Warranty , including bulgeThis Exide warranty is good for customer delight & business growth2Backup & performanceAfter 100+ cycle backup capacity will be reducedAfter 100+ cycle backup capacity will be increase as per the attached data sheetExide backup & performance is good per the attached data sheet.

If myself or anybody did this analysis before buy this product then nobody never prefers Photon 72V product. It could be any of the below reasons for the unresolved issues are still open since very long time Insufficient technical knowledge – Our Team as well as Dealer team are well trained and have sufficient knowledge . Negligent service / poor care - HE is the only company in EV industry who takes care of all their customer/ For warranty claim approval process might be TDS job to replace the parts Any Warranty replacement takes place immediately is the same is of manufacturing defect.
