ROLLS ROYCE SPECTRE
View: India's EV revolution is spreading from auto rickshaws to motorbikes
India's urban landscape is rapidly evolving, especially in its bustling cities. A decade ago, the iconic auto-rickshaws were predominantly diesel-powered, with electric versions being a rare novelty. Fast forward to today, and Delhi leads the charge in transitioning to battery-powered three-wheelers, capturing 54% of the market. This shift is driven by the cost-effectiveness and efficiency of electric models, prompting even Uber's CEO to explore the trend. The financial allure of electric vehicles extends beyond three-wheelers, with manufacturers now eyeing the two-wheeler market. This shift, if replicated, could significantly impact India's oil demand, especially in the face of rising fuel prices.
