Ladakh has gotten greener with Hero Electric partnering up with its police department. The EV manufacturer has presented the police force with a bunch of Photons, giving the people in uniform a more environment-friendly way to patrol the streets.

While we have reached out to the brand for further information, the images show the policemen and women waving the Indian flags with a few Hero Electric Photons lined up nearby. This coupled with the fact that Ladakh rolled out EV subsidies last month should encourage the use of these eco-friendly vehicles in such ecologically sensitive areas.   

Powering the Hero Electric Photon LP is a 1.2kW BLDC hub motor that produces a peak power of 1.8kW and has a top speed of 45kmph. The Photon LP gets a single 26Ah battery pack, giving the scooter a range of 90km. 0-100 percent charge takes around five hours.
