    What's the story

    Ride hailing service Ola has announced it would add 10,000 e-rickshaws to its platform over the next 12 months.

    The move comes as the Bengaluru-based company kick-starts its ambitious 'Mission: Electric' program which aims to ply one million electric vehicles on Indian roads by 2021.

    In May last year, Ola had launched its first EV pilot in Nagpur with 200 e-rickshaws.

    Here's more.

    Quote

    Why Ola choose e-rickshaws over electric cars?

    "Three-wheelers are a vital means of transportation and a source of livelihood for millions of people every day. It also represents an immediate opportunity to improve outcomes for all stakeholders while reducing pollution across towns and cities," said, Ola co-founder and CEO Bhavish Aggarwal.

    As part of its 'Mission: Electric', the company will add 10,000 new e-rickshaws across three cities.

    The company is currently in discussions with stakeholders regarding the launch of its electric rickshaw program and is "willing to work with any city committed to sustainable mobility solutions."

    The SoftBank-backed cab aggregator said their EV program in Nagpur provided significant insights into effectively managing EVs, batteries, and operations. Further, it plans to continue its experiments to find better ways to optimize batteries and charging.

    "After more than 4 million 'electric' kilometers travelled and many lessons learned, we are significantly expanding our commitment to electrify mobility in India," said Bhavish.
