Despite irregularities in FAME 2 compliance, electric two-wheelers have gained significant popularity in India and are being embraced enthusiastically by the urban population. However, in smaller cities and towns, the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is slower, primarily due to budget constraints. Understanding this, MOVES has compiled a comprehensive list of affordable electric two-wheelers.
These fifteen models are each priced under ₹100,000, making them financially accessible to a wider audience. This initiative aims to encourage a shift towards EVs, making them a viable option for more people, particularly in two- and three-tier cities. Choose wisely!
