West Bengal & Mumbai takes big steps to boost EVs
The West Bengal government has planned to phase out diesel taxis with electric one. For this it will provide a subsidy worth Rs 2.5 lakh to 1,000 diesel cabbies to replace their polluting diesel cabs with electric. This initiative by the government will reduce the CO2 levels in the city caused by the vehicles.
They have charging stations at every three kilometer area which will be enough to charge the e-cabs. The commuting cost is also very less when compared to the diesel one. If a cab runs for 200 km per day than the running cost will be Rs 2 per km which is 200 Rs for an e-cab whereas for a diesel cab, it burns Rs 966 for every 200 km.
We are giving Rs 1 lakh incentives for cab to shift to cleaner fuel and electric. The transport department would offer Rs 1.5 lakh additionally for such shift said the West Bengal Pollution Control Board chairman Kalyan Rudra.
