Mobility powered by electricity is fast becoming a reality. And one space that is expected to see accelerated adoption of electric vehicles is the basic commuter space, made up of 2- wheelers, particularly scooters. Scooters are mostly used for short commutes, their electric versions have a more affordable purchase price after FAME II (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of EV) subsidy and they have lower running costs than petrol scooters.
