How Are Non-polluting E-auto Rickshaws Steering India's Automobile Market

E-auto rickshaw first came into existence around 2010 in China and after that opened its door in India. The main motive behind introducing and promoting e-auto rickshaws in the automobile market is now considered the best friend of the environment. On top of that, it gives its owner a high income with low maintenance costs. Therefore, it seems very much profitable to own an e-auto rickshaw. However, there are different types of e-auto rickshaws. Take solar rickshaws, for example; these rickshaws are powered by the solar panels without any need for batteries, although they are fewer in numbers. An e-auto rickshaw has the capacity to load weights up to 1000 kg. 

This e-auto rickshaw became popular in India around 2011 because of its low cost and eco-friendly nature. Unfortunately, the government has decided to ban these vehicles, but they are not prohibited from the streets. Although this rule is applied in some states in India, here are some plausible reasons behind how e-auto rickshaws are steering the Indian automobile market.

So, if you compare regular auto-rickshaws with an E-auto rickshaw, how cost-friendly it is, and also in the matter of durability and solid base, it is everything you wish for.

The maintenance cost is meagre.

This E-auto rickshaw is entirely powered by a high-capacity battery and not any fuel or gasoline, and it can be changed anytime and anywhere.

There is no need for excess expense on this type of vehicle. The use of batteries makes it a lot cheaper than the usual rickshaws.
