Is buying an electric scooter confusing?

 

By Amit Srivastava

With the entry of a number of companies, electric vehicles are getting popular among people. As many of us have never owned an electric vehicle and do not know much about it. Buying an electric vehicle that fits in the budget and gives a good mileage is everyone’s choice.

At present, most electric vehicles seem a little costly. They are going to be cheaper in the long run with the economy of scale. Like every day a new entrant is making an entry in either manufacturing or as an ancillary, prices are likely to c0me down.

While they are environment-friendly, the government is providing subsidies to manufacturers who will ultimately extend to buyers.

With little information available on electric vehicles, buying the best one can be confusing to some extent, especially when there are several new companies in the market now.
