What is the price of e rickshaw?
E-rickshaw prices vary quite a bit depending on type and features. Here's the current range in India: Basic passenger e-rickshaw: ₹1.2 lakh to ₹1.8 lakh Loader cargo e-rickshaw: ₹1.5 lakh to ₹2.2 lakh Lithium-ion battery models: ₹1.8 lakh to ₹2.5 lakh Special features like digital meter, music system, etc. add ₹10,000-₹20,000Popular brands like Kinetic Green, Mahindra, and Terrao are on the higher end, while local assemblers offer cheaper options. The price also depends on battery type - lead-acid is cheaper but lithium lasts longer. Government subsidies under FAME India scheme can reduce costs by 10-20% sometimes. Always test drive and check warranty before buying!
