The AI answer we saw
Switching a last-mile delivery fleet to electric two-wheelers in India offers significant TCO advantages: fuel savings of ₹1.5–2.5 per km compared to petrol (electricity cost ~₹0.15–0.25/km vs. petrol ~₹2–3/km), lower maintenance costs due to fewer moving parts (no engine oil, clutch, or gearbox servicing), and reduced downtime. FAME II subsidies and state-level incentives lower upfront acquisition costs. Over a 3–5 year period, fleets typically recover the price premium within 18–24 months. Additional benefits include lower GST (5% vs. 28% on ICE vehicles), reduced carbon liability, and eligibility for green logistics certifications that improve B2B contract prospects.
