Interesting actually and not a pricing model thats doomed. Assume for 22Rs an hour (USD to INR roughly) you could go like 7-8kms within the city. If someone was to instead lease out the entire vehicle for the day (or 2 people for half day each), they could just be a ride share driver without having to invest in the vehicle costs. Electricity is not included so they would have to find EV spots (electricity is quite cheap in India) but for those that think this is very cheap, realise it's not actually very cheap and a good pricing model in fact. Good EV rickshaws can be had for under 3000$ which this pricing model can recover in under 2 years for each vehicle after which any income is basically a profit. The real challenge is in finding charging locations in India as of now but I totally see this working as the barrier to entry will reduce a lot for those looking to become a driver.
