Euler Motors Storm EV

With the newly launched Euler Storm EV, Euler Motors has introduced next-generation technologies to enhance the productivity of logistical and supply chain business. The Euler Storm EV is a commercial electric 4-wheeler which is available in 2 variants – T1250 for intracity and LongRange 200 for intercity applications. 

Both Storm EV T1250 and Storm EV LongRange 200 variants have a 1250 kg payload capacity. They fall under the light commercial vehicle (LCV) segment and the company claims to present 11 first-in-segment features through this electric vehicle. Euler Motors prioritises the safety of the driver, vehicle and goods to ensure safe and smooth cargo transportation.

Featuring the ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), the Euler Storm EV is claimed to be the first commercial vehicle enabled with ADAS in India. The ADAS technology can warn drivers about any potential collision and lane departure and it helps to apply automatic emergency brakes. This advanced feature along with dash cam and night vision assist makes it unique among its rivals.   

During the launch event, the introductory price of the Euler Storm EV was announced. The Storm EV T1250 is priced at Rs 8.99 Lakhs (ex-showroom Delhi), while the Storm EV LongRange 200 is priced at Rs 12.99 Lakhs (ex-showroom Delhi). To infuse peace of mind among customers, the company offers a standard warranty of 5 years or 1.5 lakh km and an industry-first extended warranty of 7 years or 2 lakh km.

Euler Motors Storm EV Performance

Euler Storm EV is equipped with a liquid-cooling battery pack powered by ArcReactor 200 technology to ensure optimal performance in all weather conditions and extended battery life. The battery pack used in the vehicle is an in-house developed and laser-welded water/dust-proof AIS 38 certified battery pack with an IP67 rating.

With 92 percent efficiency, its battery generates 140 Nm of peak torque and 30 kW (40.2 hp) of peak power, allowing it to reach a top speed of 70 kmph. The Storm EV T1250 delivers a real range of 140 km while the LongRange 200 variant delivers an industry-leading real range of 200 km.

Two onboard charger choices are available for the Storm EV models – a 3.3 kW charger that can charge the vehicle in 6 hours and a 6.6 kW charger that can charge it in 4 hours. With the DC001 fast-charging protocol, one can ride for a 100 km distance after charging the Storm EV T1250 in 30 minutes. 

However, CCS (Combined Charging System with AC and DC charging into a single connector) fast charging makes the Storm EV LongRange 200 vehicle easy to access highway charging infrastructure, offering a 100 km range in 15 minutes of charging. There is an all-terrain driver control as the Euler Motors Storm EV features a disc in front and drum brakes in the rear to bring a fully loaded vehicle to a complete stop. 

Its vacuum-assisted power brakes allow enhanced braking force without any need to apply high pedal pressure. Regenerative braking improves vehicle efficiency by using the motion of the vehicle to charge the battery while load-sensing proportional valves (LSPV) optimise brake force for the load and improve vehicle stability.

Euler Motors Storm EV Specifications

Available in 1250 kg payload capacity, the Euler Storm EV T1250 has a body length of 8.2 feet with load body volume options of 220 and 260 cubic feet and the LongRange 200 variant gets a 10-feet body length with a larger volumetric capacity of 330 cubic feet. The vehicle maintains a ground clearance of 175 mm to enable it to move goods even in poor road conditions.

The Storm EV T1250 is offered in 4 load body options including a flatbed, pickup van, high deck, and delivery van while the LR (LongRange 200) model offers 3 load body options – pickup van, high deck, and delivery van. The Storm EV LR sports a 2700 mm (plus 540 mm) longer wheelbase to improve stability and an 8-leaf rear suspension makes smooth freight movement.

Both standard and dense load versions of the Storm EV T1250 are available. The armoured configuration has an 8-leaf rear suspension and a first-in-segment 4 mm armoured skateboard chassis, making it suitable for dense loads like mortar, wood, and heavy cylinders. 

The standard version comes with 165 R14 tyres and the armoured variant has 185 R14 tyres designed for Indian roads. In every type of road condition, cargo materials may be transported safely and smoothly thanks to a strengthened load body floor. 

Euler Motors Storm EV Features

Loaded with several unique utility features, the Euler Storm EV ensures the driver’s comfort, convenience, and productivity. The vehicle offers 3 driving modes – Range, Thunder, and Rhino – to enable smooth intra-city haulage operations across flyovers and underpasses, and comfortable mobility to and from basement warehouses.

In this, the Range mode is a standard drive mode to get maximum range from its electric powertrain and Thunder is an overdrive mode to provide a top speed of 70 kmph and acceleration to overtake slower cargo vehicles on the road. Rhino is a torque-heavy drive mode in the Euler Storm EV to smartly navigate hilly terrain and muddy roads in rainy weather.

There is the integrated chimera infotainment system which integrates navigation, alerts, and an entertainment screen, providing drivers with real-time control over the vehicle performance and a seamless in-cabin experience on a 10.2-inch display. By integrating MapmyIndia’s maps with WhatsApp, drivers may obtain location data and save time while locating drop-off and pick-up locations.

Euler Motors is also giving away free 1GB of data per day in this connected vehicle as an initial offer. Using the steering-mounted buttons to answer phone calls or launch video games enhances the cabin driving experience. The Storm EV LongRange 200 has air conditioning to improve comfort for drivers spending much time inside the cabin.

Considering the safety features, the Shepherd App, a specialised mobile and web application from Storm EV, allows users to track the location of their vehicles, reserve the nearby charging station, and get maintenance warnings. With its segment-first digital lock system, a single tap can prevent cargo theft. In the event of theft, an anti-theft lock immobilises the vehicle, improving the likelihood that it will be quickly retrieved.

Euler Motors Storm EV Rivals

Being an electric player in the light commercial vehicle segment, it faces strong competition from the Switch IeV3 and Tata Ace EV 1000. In its ICE (internal combustion engine) counterparts, the rivals of the Euler Storm EV are Tata Intra V30, Ashok Leyland Dost LiTE, and Mahindra Veero.
