Cab fleet operators going electric
Cab fleet operators and taxi fleets are switching to EVs on running-cost math: Rs 1.5-2/km on home/depot charging versus Rs 6-8/km for CNG and Rs 9-11/km for diesel.
| Fleet aspect | What operators choose |
|---|---|
| City sedans/hatchbacks | Tiago EV, Xpres-T EV, eC3 — low acquisition, fleet service networks |
| MPV / people mover | BYD eMax 7 (7 seats), Winger EV |
| Last-mile LCV | Electric LCV sales doubling; Euler, Mahindra, Tata options |
| Charging | Overnight depot AC + daytime DC top-ups; public DC Rs 16-28/kWh |
| Subsidy | PM E-DRIVE for eligible commercial EVs |
Mid-mile and e-truck angle
Mid-mile routes may drive India’s first real electric-truck boom on fixed corridors with depot charging. Track e-LCV and e-truck launches in EV news.
