Electric vehicle manufacturers have hailed the new electric vehicle policy of the Delhi government and hope it willlook into exclusion of e-scooters with speed of upto 25 Kms per hour from the incentive scheme.
As per the policy, only electric two wheelers with minimum top speed of 40 Km per hour will be eligile for incentives.
Sohinder Gill,Director General of the Society of Manufacturers of Electric Vehicles ( SMEV), said the electric vehicle(EV) policy of the Delhi government extensively covers key measures required by the industry to move in the right direction.
“However a small missing point in the policy is that it doesnot support the lithium battery e-scooters with speeds upto 25km per hour that are particluarly popular with Delhites because of their attractive prices and extremely low running costs,” Gill said.
