Petition To Supreme Court Of India To Issue Direction To Government To Promote Electric Vehicles

PETITION IN THE INTEREST OF PUBLIC & NATION AS A WHOLE

A few manufacturers as well as assemblers have begun marketing electric bi wheelers in India, with only one manufacturer for electric cars. However, owing to limitations in range of travel, power & transmission response, these are not popular although these save fast depleting fossil fuel.

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.

Chief Justice of India is URGED TO direct the Central Government & State Governments in India, orany other body authorized to do so, for introduction of these electric vehicles with subsidy in pricing, in the interest of public & nation as well 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. 60. 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.
