How are we changing mobility in India?

  • With the rapid pace of mobility, it has now become the hotspot for policy makers around the globe. The demand for mobility is increasing in India and being the most populous nation, we are projected to increase by 38% from 31% in urban areas by 2026.

Over 35 cities in India are bursting at the seams with populations crossing 1 million, the need for first mile and last mile connectivity is the need of the hour. We are a new age start up that looks to factor in on helping you travel seamlessly. More than 10 cities in India have a population of over 2 million and successive governments are working towards the goal of mass transit systems. Imagine travelling in style to and from the house to the office, only to take the metro for the longest parts of your commute and break free from all that traffic.

Recently, Deloitte’s Global Automotive Consumer Study 2023 showcased four major indicators on the need for a dramatic shift in mobile transportation. This includes;

  • A quicker shift in transportation mobility. Are some markets adopting faster than others?
  • The underlying benefit of EVs over the vehicle inventory crisis.
  • Dealers and OEMs have built an enhanced trust with their customers.
  • Challenges of subscriptions of connected vehicles looms large but this could change based on customer preferences.

Think Electric, think inGO!

Why go electric? — India #GOelectric

In all fairness, we need to rethink how we go from point A to B. With electric scooters, the thrill of the ride is hardly diminished and look at the many benefits that you stand to gain.

This includes reduced costs, noise pollution, improved supply chains and running costs that ultimately drive the country forward and improve our quality of life. Additionally, the Government of India (GoI) is aggressively moving towards the goal of adoption of electrification of vehicles by 2030. Here are some of the goals for electric vehicle adoption in India:

  1. Increasing non-fossil energy capacity to 500 gigawatts by 2030.
  2. Providing 50% of India’s overall energy needs through renewable energy.
  3. Reducing carbon emissions by 1 Billion tonnes by 2030.
  4. Reducing carbon intensity by 45% by 2030.
  5. Achieving net zero by 2070.

The future is key to mobility and we continue to persevere towards achieving these goals with our every endeavour.

What is the future of electric vehicles in India?

With the increase in the level of air pollution, it has been a cause of concern for governments across the world. Today,more than 25 Indian cities are among the 100 most polluted cities in the world.

Air pollution has been on the rise in cities across India. The transport sector is contributing to it significantly, these emissions need to be minimised with the help of electric vehicles. It is important that the Indian government is keen to promote green and clean mobility.

Additionally, the government is looking to encourage the use of electric vehicles and the purpose behind it is easy identification through benefits like preferential treatment for parking and similar benefits.

Road Safety Awareness

Riding on Indian roads and road safety awareness work hand in glove. Introduced by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways and observed in 1989, Road Safety Awareness aims to raise awareness about traffic rules and the policy was subsequently rolled out in 2010. Whether its non-government organisation, private firms or charitable organisations across the country, we have worked tirelessly for road safety measurements.

The theme for 2023 is Sadak Suraksha Raksha to bring about awareness about traffic rules and compliance to keep motorists and their near and dear ones safe. To bring about change and further sensitization, competitions were held, discussions with senior officers were planned in Delhi and special drives, road engineering initiatives, and checkup camps were the focus across the length and breadth of the nation.

There is a massive network of over 62 lakh kilometres of road and this is the bloodline of over 90% of all passenger traffic. In the years to come injuries and accidents should reduce significantly with the pace of infrastructural developments.

The ministry looks to address these road accidents through a strategy to bring about safety through education, emergency care and regulation. There are further guidelines to improve transparency, guidelines and citizen participation. With the help of technology, several intermediaries have been removed and driving training institutes have been taking shape.

There is now an Integrated Road Accident Database or iRAD to analyse road accidents data and enhance infrastructure to meet the demands of road safety across the country.

Let’s pledge to ride safely with helmets and routine maintenance checks to ensure that the future is electric and seamless.

Electric vs Petrol Scooter Cost — Electric Scooter in India

Let’s put two and two together and do a fair comparison of an electric and petrol scooter.

What’s the cost involved?

As compared to vehicles that run on fuel, the cost is comparable and competitive despite the number of incentives. This covers over 40% of the two-wheeler’s cost and this has resulted in a large number of customers switching to electric scooters.

Cost of Charging vs Refuelling

If you had to look into the mileage of the electric scooters in India, it is generally 15% cheaper than its petrol variant. This makes it more economical and a more viable option in the long run. While petrol scooters on average deliver around 50 to 60 kms per litre. This averages at Rs 2.5 per kilometre, the same is Rs.0.25 per kilometre for its electric counterpart.

Cost of Maintenance

Since electric scooters have fewer moving parts, the maintenance cost is relatively low compared to its petrol rivals. You would have to charge the battery at regular intervals but there is hardly any maintenance involved for this as well in electric scooters. Additionally, petrol scooters need to be serviced from time to time and it can be expensive based on the availability and cost of parts that are imperative to run the vehicle.

Electric scooters of today have been hailed as the best mode for first and last mile connectivity. A recent study from Germany recommends that smaller daily trips in urban cities are highly reliable for the masses.
