    Hero Vida VX2 Plus vs rivals: price, range and charging time comparison

    Hero’s electric subsidiary Vida launched the VX2 in two guises: the Go and the Plus. Earlier, we pitted the Go variant against its rivals; now, we have compared the higher-spec Plus variant with the larger battery to see how it fares on paper in terms of battery pack, range and price.

    Range comparison

    TVS iQube ST 3.5145km
    Ather Rizta S 3.7159km
    Ather Rizta Z 3.7159km

    The Rizta duo offer the highest range

    All the electric scooters here offer a similar range. The VX2 Plus has the lowest IDC-claimed range, which is proportionate to its slightly smaller 3.4kWh battery pack compared to the others. The Rizta, on the other hand, delivers the highest IDC range due to its larger 3.7kWh battery pack.

    Ather Rizta Z 3.74hr 30min

    The Vida VX2 Plus has the fastest charging time

    All charging times mentioned are for the 0-80 percent charge only. Despite a lower 580W supplied charger, the Vida VX2 Plus manages quicker real-world charging due to its smaller battery pack. The Chetak 3501, with its 950W onboard charger, is the fastest among the 35 series, while the 3502 and 3503 use a slightly slower 900W off-board charger. 
     
    In comparison, the iQube3.5’s 650W off-board charger charges its 3.5kWh battery in less time than the Chetak. The S and ST variants get a quicker 950-watt charger bundled into the price. Both the Rizta S and Z get the same 3.7kWh battery, with its charge time the highest here, owing to its larger battery pack than the rest.

    The VX2 Plus is the most affordable here

    The Vida VX2 Plus is the most affordable option if chosen with Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) – a model where you rent the battery and pay only for the distance you ride every month. Even if you buy the VX2 Plus with the battery bundled, it is one of the most affordable scooters here, at Rs 1.10 lakh.

    The Bajaj Chetak 3503 is priced similarly to the Vida VX2 Plus, followed by the Chetak 3502 and iQube 3.5, both priced at Rs 1.23 lakh. Moving up the chain, the iQube S is priced Rs 7,000 above the 3502 and the standard variant. The top-spec 3501 is priced at Rs 1.35 lakh, undercutting its chief rival – the iQube 3.5 ST – by Rs 10,000.

    Despite the recent launch of the more affordable Ather Rizta S 3.7, it still ends up priced above its rivals here. The Rizta Z 3.7 is the most expensive option in this comparison, priced at Rs 1.50 lakh.

    All prices ex-showroom, Bengaluru, inclusive of PM e-Drive subsidy.
