Remember those times when we were half-minded to choose an electric vehicle to go for a ride? Times have changed and somewhere in its uncertain journey, the likeness towards an electric vehicle has taken a sudden leap bringing in the eco-friendly way of living a reality.
According to the data released by the Society of Manufacturers of Electric Vehicles(SMEV), it shows that the sale of electric vehicles in India has increased by 20% in 2020 despite the challenging fiscal year so far. They marked domestic sales of 1,56,000 units in FY20 against 1,30,000 units in FY19. Now, what does this signify? Are we heading towards a future where the roads will have only electric vehicles? Let us explain how an electric vehicle becomes “the sustainable oil of change.”
Pocket-friendly ride
An electric vehicle is said to save a lot of money when compared to a fuel-based vehicle. As you know the cost of petrol required for a vehicle to travel a Km is much higher than the electric power required to charge a vehicle of the same category to travel the same distance. According to a study done by National Renewable Energy Laboratory, it was concluded that the motorists can save as much as $14,500 on fuel costs over 15 years by driving an electric vehicle instead of a similar one fueled by gasoline. And yes, that’s not a small amount!
When a normal electric vehicle saves so much for you, here we have driEV, an electric bike rental platform in Orissa which will give you more perks to cut down the expense when you chose driEV electric scooter as your travel partner.
- You don’t have to take the burden of buying an electric vehicle by paying the whole amount when you have driEV electric scooters to rely on
- Our monthly rental plans are cheaper than the cost of your one-time meal; i.e., Rs.85/day
Eco-friendly choice
One of the major USPs of an electric vehicle is its eco-friendly nature. In a country like India, most of the air pollution comes from the greenhouse gases emitted by cars, motorbikes, etc. Wondering how to tackle this? An electric vehicle which does not burn fuel is the only solution for this and when you ride one, you can proudly say that it emits smaller carbon footprints than gasoline-powered vehicles, no matter where the electricity comes from.
Along with these benefits, when you choose driEV electric scooter, you also reduce the noise pollution as driEV scooters are built for cleaner and quieter cities.
Save your lives
Wondering how an electric vehicle can save your life? Well, it can in fact. Just like how the pollutants emitted by the fuel-based vehicles affect the climate and environment, it causes severe effects to your health too. Air pollutants from gasoline- and diesel-powered vehicles cause short-term as well as long-term health impacts like asthma, bronchitis, cancer, lung damage and even premature death.
As the COVID-19 pandemic is still spreading, a study by Harvard University has found a striking association between long-term exposure to harmful fine particulate matter and COVID-19 mortality in the United States. Here, one of the primary causes of fine particulate matter pollution (PM2.5) is combustion from gasoline and diesel car engines. How much more dangerous can a fuel-based vehicle be?
When it comes to driEV, along with reducing the health risks, the speed-range that driEV provides ensures the safety of our customers making it one of the most preferred electric scooter in India.
Consumers become prosumers
“Prosumer” is a concept where the consumer not only consumes but also produces. An electric vehicle leaves the user with the opportunity to be prosumers as they drive these eco-friendly machines. As we need electricity to charge these electric vehicles, instead of relying on grid-supplied electricity, the users can experiment with self-generation of electricity by placing a solar panel at their residence.
By fixing solar panel-powered charging stations across the city soon, driEV will guide the path of self-sufficiency to the electric vehicle users.
Journeys become self-reliant
How many times have we got late to meetings just because we relied on public transport and cabs? How many times have we lived on the edge with low petrol and still hoping that the vehicle will survive till the nearest petrol pump?Electric vehicles are the solution to all of this. A charger is all you need to go on a trip and you can start anytime you wish.
driEV being an electric scooter needs less space to ride and thus saves you from traffic blocks. Opting for your convenient long-term plan, you will have your bike with you ready for the ride, enabling you to be on your own.
Negligent maintenance cost
Electric vehicles not only cost less to charge but also have lower maintenance costs because they have fewer moving parts than an internal combustion engine. With cheap repairing charges, an electric vehicle becomes an all-together pocket-friendly vehicle fit for all.
When it comes to driEV, there are more perks as we do regular check-up of all our rented vehicles to ensure safety. Except for punctures, driEV’s support team is always available to provide quick road assistance to the users.
