Why EVs make a Perfect Sense for Urban Mobility
-
High air and noise pollution in cities
-
Average requirement of range about 40 Kms and speed around 40 Km/hr makes Electric Scooters commercially
viable
-
Low operating & maintenance costs.
-
High traffic congestion in cities - stop & go driving conditions
-
Narrow Indian city roads and inadequate infrastructure in majority of Indian city make small vehicles
an ideal alternative
-
The Cost of EVs will come down as the volumes increase
-
The growth in EV technology will further lead to reduction in cost and performance improvement.

EVs offer:
-
A clean transport system for city mobility
-
The current cost of an Electric Scooter (500 to 800 watts) is around Rs. 30,000 and a low running cost of 10 to 15 paise / km
-
It offers a range of 35 to 45 Kms at a top speed of 40 km/hr suited ideally for city conditions.
-
High on safety and ease of driving
-
More than 2 years of development and testing for safety & performance was done at ARAI, Pune, before the launch of vehicle in the city of Bangalore.
-
Current capability to build 1000 vehicles per month
