Subodh Kumar Nandan, Patna. People’s inclination towards electric cars is much less as compared to other states. At the same time, attraction towards electric bikes has increased. But the speed of sale of electric cars in Patna is very slow. The main reason for this is the higher price compared to petrol-diesel cars and the lack of charging station facilities. According to the managers of car companies, more than 30 cars of different companies are sold every month in Patna.
Gradually the inclination towards electric cars is increasing among the people.
Tata Motors, Mahindra, Hyundai, MG Hector are the major companies in electric cars. At the same time, more than 400 electric bikes are being sold in Patna and surrounding areas. Kiran Mahindra Automobiles Director Nitin Kumar said that 4 to 5 vehicles are being sold every month. These mainly include AQV-400. He told that gradually people are increasing inclination towards electric cars. But due to lack of charging station, people are skeptical.
