Matter Aera gets lifetime battery warranty The Indian electric two-wheeler startup, Matter, has launched a lifetime warranty for the battery of its electric motorcycle, the Matter Aera. The company asserts that this is the first instance of such a warranty being provided in India's electric two-wheeler market. This initiative aims to address the second most significant concern for electric vehicle owners—battery longevity and the costs associated with battery replacement. The battery, which represents the most costly component of an electric vehicle, will be guaranteed for the entire lifespan of the Aera. Generally, electric vehicle batteries are accompanied by warranties that last between three to eight years. A lifetime warranty represents a substantial shift from this norm and could influence how riders assess the long-term ownership costs. Also Read : Matter Aera gets lifetime battery warranty.
