Mahindra recently announced its updated charger policy for the XEV 9e and BE 6 electric SUVs. Initially, buyers had to purchase a charger separately, adding extra costs on top of the ex-showroom price. However, after considering customer feedback, Mahindra has now introduced more flexibility in charger installation.

Charger Options
Mahindra offers two types of chargers for the XEV 9e and BE 6:
| Charger Type | Power Output | Price (Rs.) |
|---|---|---|
| AC Charger | 7.2kW | 50,000 |
| AC Charger | 11.2kW | 75,000 |
Previously, customers were required to install one of these chargers when purchasing the vehicle. Now, Mahindra has introduced exceptions, allowing buyers to skip this installation under certain conditions.
Updated Charger Policy
Mahindra now permits buyers to opt out of purchasing a charger if they meet any of the following criteria:
- No charging provision – If the buyer’s residence or office does not have space for a private charger.
- Existing compatible charger – If the buyer already owns a charger that meets Mahindra’s safety and performance standards.
- Multiple car purchases – If a customer is buying two or more Mahindra electric SUVs, they can use a single charger for both vehicles.
These changes provide more flexibility for EV buyers, reducing unnecessary expenses and making the purchase process more convenient.
Battery and Pricing
Both the XEV 9e and BE 6 come with two battery pack options:
| Model | Battery Pack | Price (Rs. lakh) |
|---|---|---|
| XEV 9e | 59kWh | 18.90 |
| XEV 9e | 79kWh | 21.90 |
| BE 6 | 59kWh | 18.90 |
| BE 6 | 79kWh | 21.90 |
These electric SUVs offer a balance of performance and range, making them attractive options in India’s growing EV market. Deliveries for both models are expected to begin in the coming weeks.
Mahindra’s decision to revise its charger policy reflects its commitment to customer satisfaction. By allowing buyers to opt out of the mandatory charger purchase, the company is making EV ownership more flexible and cost-effective. With competitive pricing and practical charging options, the XEV 9e and BE 6 continue to be strong contenders in the electric vehicle market.
