petrol breaching the psychological price barrier of Rs 90 per litre, electric two-wheelers are getting a surge of interest from customers. According to Sohinder Gill, director-general, Society of Manufacturers of Electric Vehicles (SMEV), e-two wheeler sales have gone up from around 4,500 units in December to 5,000 units in January and 6,000 units in February as per the Vahan data. “The EV value proposition was always cheaper than petrol, but now people are talking about it more," he added. A quick back-of-the-envelope calculation shows the reason why. Typically, a popular scooter like the Honda Activa gives a fuel economy of up to 60 km to the litre. So an Activa customer spends on an average one litre petrol per day, which is between Rs 91 and 93 right now depending on the city. In comparison, a Hero Electric HX gives around 100 km per charge which costs around Rs 20. So per day drive of around 60 km will cost an EV owner Rs 10-12. The difference is at least Rs 80 ... » Learn More about Electric two-wheelers see rising interest

Eckart Würzner, a mayor on a mission to make his city emission-free, is not terribly impressed by promises from General Motors, Ford and other big automakers to swear off fossil fuels. Not that Würzner, the mayor of Heidelberg , is against electric cars . The postcard-perfect city, in southern Germany, gives residents who buy a battery-powered vehicle a bonus of up to 1,000 euros, or $1,200. They get another 1,000 euros if they install a charging station. But electric cars are low on the list of tools that Würzner is using to try to cut Heidelberg’s impact on the climate, an effort that has given the city, home to Germany’s oldest university and an 800-year-old castle ruin, a reputation as a pioneer in environmentally conscious urban planning. Würzner’s goal is to reduce dependence on cars, no matter where they get their juice. Heidelberg is buying a fleet of hydrogen-powered buses, building a network of bicycle “superhighways” to the suburbs and designing neighborhoods ... » Learn More about The city where cars are not welcome
