Let’s know why you should switch to e-rickshaws!
- Relief From High Fuel Prices
With petrol prices increasing and diesel is also following a similar pattern. Common people are looking for ways to save money in the high-price market. Electric vehicles can be a great alternative to save fuel prices. This is one of the main reasons for promoting electric vehicles.
- To Curb Pollution
While most vehicles, especially the public ones, operate on the combustion of a fuel such as petrol or diesel, their emissions cause air pollution. One significant advantage of e-rickshaws is that since it operates on rechargeable batteries it does not pollute the environment and cause pollution. Data collected by Follow Green Living, reveals that auto-rickshaws run only at 15-20 km/hr speed thus producing greater pollution as they are designed to run efficiently at 40-45 km/hr. The pollution is further increased due to the fact that they continuously have to run in stop/start mode. The data also represents that on average these auto-rickshaws travel about 50-60 km during the day. According to this data, an electric rickshaw that is designed to run 60-80 km per charge at speeds of between 25-40 km/hr would serve as an excellent substitute for these auto-rickshaws.
- Safe and Easy to Drive
E-Rickshaws are safe and easy to drive compared to regular rickshaws or cars. They are not tedious to pull and anyone can learn how to drive them.
- Amazing Schemes Launched by the Government
GST on electric vehicles has been reduced from 12% to 5%
