Seems crazy to me. Most taxi and uber/gypsy cab drivers run hybrid Priuses because they are the most cost effective and economical vehicles for this purpose in stop and go traffic. Insisting on EV's when charging tech is so inefficient and scarce seems hugely problematic for the foreseeable future. Seems a lousy investment for anyone wanting to make money providing a driving service through one of the mobile platform middlemen.
- najarvg 7y agoYour point is well-taken but there is an incredibly limited number of hybrid vehicles in India (only 2 actually) - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_vehicle_industry_in_India https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_vehicle_industry_in... But given the age of India's electricity infrastructure and the huge challenges, this initiative would definitely present large challenges. The good news is that there is political will and a general absence of politically powerful retrograde lobbies to stop this from happening if tried sincerely.
