Electric two-wheeler sales more than double in 2021, industry data show
Sales of electric two-wheelers more than doubled in 2021 led by a sharp uptick in demand for high-speed scooters which are supported by state and central subsidies, data provided by an industry body show.
About 234,000 units were sold during the year compared to just about 100,000 units sold a year ago, according to the Society of Manufacturers of Electric Vehicles (SMEV).
Of these, three-fifths were high speed vehicles like the Ather 450 and Bajaj Chetak, which require registration. The high-speed category grew more than five-fold during the year to just under 143,000 units. ET first reported this on Sunday.
