With fuel prices exceeding Rs 100 per litre, purchasing a less expensive electric vehicle makes even more sense to save some money.
The price of petrol and diesel in India have been on a rise for quite a long. As worldwide crude oil prices went to a three-year high, fuel costs rose across the country. Today, petrol prices had increased by 19 to 25 paise per litre, the price of diesel had increased by 24 to 27 paise per litre. If there's one thing that rising fuel prices are helping, it's the country's small but rapidly growing electric vehicle (EV) industry.
Electric scooters, rather than fossil-fuel-guzzling two-wheelers, have become a preferred alternative these days for people. These e-scooters range between Rs 95,000-1.3 lakh and in a price-sensitive market, they can be seen as something costly for consumers.
