| I'm an avid fan of EVs, but a lot of issues are still there. For eg, Ola hasn't made a single delivery yet. Also it is too costly for poor people. Forget delivery, they haven't even kept a single vehicle for test drive Poor people in India struggle with eating twice a day, the ones who have to choose between grocery and medicine don't have 100k to give Ola for an electric 2 wheeler. The price of petrol 2 wheelers is also shooting up. Activa cost 40k INR jjst 7yrs ago. Today it's touching 100k INR. Also range is a big issue as is the availability of chargers and electricity in general. I read an interview in a newspaper where a daily wage labourer / small office worker said that he earned 500INR daily and has to travel 10km on his petrol bike and it's getting difficult to have any savings. I think.his exact words were "Can't explain to my kid why I didn't bring him any food item or a toy. I just don't have enough money as majority goes in petrol" Also ruling party ministers have made bizzare claims like "only 5% ppl use petrol" |
