"...there were over 20 million electric vehicles and 1.3 million commercial EVs such as buses, delivery vans and trucks...these numbers of four or more wheel vehicles are wholly eclipsed by two- and three-wheelers. There were over 280 million electric mopeds, scooters, motorcycles and three-wheelers on the road last year.

"If you commute on an e-bike 20km a day, five days a week, your charging cost would be about $20 – annually."
