The Switch Delhi campaign, which was launched by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday, aims at promoting the use of electric vehicles in the city. In a series of tweets, Delhi Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot highlighted some of the monetary benefits of moving to a scooter with an electric powertrain.
Gahlot claimed that by switching to electric two-wheelers the user can achieve an annual saving of ₹22,000 compared to using a petrol scooter and ₹20,000 as compared to a petrol bike.
“Kickstarting Switch Delhi campaign’s first week with the two-wheeler segment. By switching to electric two-wheelers, you can make an annual saving of ₹22,000 as compared to using a petrol scooter and ₹20,000 as compared to a petrol bike,” he tweeted.
