Things to consider before buying a passenger electric three-wheeler

Passenger electric three-wheelers are becoming more visible on road these days owing mainly to their lower running cost. Due to their affordability & environment-friendly nature, these electric autos are becoming the preferred mode of transportation in urban & suburban locations.

Established players in India’s automobile industry and startups, have introduced multiple passenger electric 3-wheelers in the market. Through this blog, EVJoints attempts to guide potential electric auto buyers by explaining what factors to consider before going through with their purchase:

Range: The most important factor is the E3W’s battery capacity and its range. In most cases, higher the battery capacity, more will be the range. The range of the EV will allow the driver to be more productive and experience less downtime.

Some automakers give a secondary battery pack as well to help extend the overall range.

Seating Capacity: It is important to choose an electric auto that can accommodate the number of passengers the driver intends to carry. A larger seating capacity means more business for the owner.

Additionally, it is also important to consider the size of the vehicle to ensure that it can easily navigate through the roads in the driver’s intended area of operations.

Luggage Space: Keep an eye on the electric auto’s storage space to accommodate personal luggage of passengers.

Safety: Choose an e-auto with features such as seatbelts, solid build quality & responsive brakes to ensure the safety of the passengers and the driver.

Go for a test drive before buying the vehicle and check the safety measures.

Fast Charging: Go for the electric three-wheeler that has fast-charging capabilities. Fast charging compatibility allows the driver to be more productive & experience less downtime.

Fleet owners or individual drivers should keep an eye on the EV charging stations (fast & slow charging) that are in the areas of their operations. Apps like EVJoints are very helpful in locating the nearest EV charging stations.

Conclusion:

Compared to conventional fuel-powered & CNG autos, electric three-wheelers have lower operating costs and require less maintenance, which makes them highly profitable. By keeping the above factors in mind, you can make an informed decision and choose an electric auto that meets your needs & budget.
