The ever-rising fuel prices have made us Indians really think about switching to electric vehicles. While the four-wheeler market is still growing, electric two-wheelers have been accepted quite well into the market. And why not, they are practical, easy to use and have a pretty decent range that will last most people for an entire week. Apart from the savings on fuel, electric vehicles also help save us on maintenance and things like engine oil, oil and air filters, etc.
