A letter to Supreme court of India on Electric Vehicles - D’SOUZA WILBERIOUS EVANGLIST
Honourable Chief Justice, Supreme Court of India,
A few assemblers disguised as manufacturers in India, have begun marketing electric bi wheelers. However, owing to range of travel & power limitations, these are not popular although these save fast depleting fossil fuel.. However while viewing pages of www.interchina-industry.com I found there are electric bikes with motor up to 3500 watt & even with 750watt motor & 72 volt input current, 65kms maximum speed, 120kms range of travel per charge, 150kg of load carrying capacity are available costing only USD 400(Rs.23500) FOB. Honourable Chief Justice of India may direct introduction of these in public interest for reasons stated below.
Any internal combustion (IC) engine two wheeler yields about 30 to 40 kms per litre of Petrol inside city + a little of oil, costing about Rs. 55. The same range of 40 kms is covered by a electric bi wheeler in one full charge of battery consuming one unit of electricity say Rs. 5. So, vis a vis an IC engine bi wheeler rider, an electric bi wheeler rider, by saving on fossil fuel saves Rs.50 per day, if both are reckoned as traveling 40 kms per day. So an IC engine bi wheeler rider spends Rs.1500 per month more than the electric bi-wheeler rider who saves Rs.1500 per month. So in a year IC engine bi wheeler rider spends Rs.18000 per annum whereas an electric bi wheeler rider saves as much in a year!
