Talking about the emergence of e-rickshaws in India, they first hurled on the Indian roads, over a decade ago in 2011. Since then, there has only been an increase in the number of e-rickshaws on Indian roads.
The popularity of these vehicles has increased immensely all over India, thanks to their ability to carry 4-5 passengers comfortably over a short distance, rather economically, and the most notable factor is that, all this is done without any emissions.
In cities like Delhi, these have emerged as a livelihood source for people, and a sustainable and economical commute for commuters.
With present looking secure, let’s find out something about the future of these modes of communication in India.
How is the Future of e- Rickshaws in India?
When initially they busted on to the scene in India, e-rickshaws were imported, but with the increased interest of the people, and their potential on Indian roads, currently they are manufactured in the country itself. There are a number of manufacturers, producing advanced Lithium-ion batteries and there is a rapid growth of this entire ecosystem.
Though, with the expansion of battery swapping networks, it is becoming more and more possible for e-rickshaw drivers to drive to the nearest swapping station, get the exhausted battery replaced with a charged one, and get back on track without wasting too much time, and losing the opportunities to earn.
Taking all these factors into consideration, and the increasing concerns raised by environmental organizations around the world regarding the problem of emissions, and all the countries trying to mitigate it at their level, it is only fair to say that the future of e-rickshaws in India looks a promising prospect to say the least.
This growth of the e-rickshaws in India has a lot to do with the increasing average age of these rickshaws, and the constantly increasing number of rickshaws hitting the roads of the country.
