Over the last year or so, the automobile industry has beaten multiple high-in-demand industries. Leading the fray is BGauss, an EV company that pursues visions of green mobility while offering affordability.
Many businesses got deeply impacted by the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. It transformed the direction of most Industries in the country. Yet EV was the only industry to have a reprieve with a notable upward trajectory during this period. The demand steadily gained traction in the mobility industry.
Presently, a few bold pioneers like BGauss are decisively advancing toward building electric vehicular green mobility as a viable option. After the pandemic, the EV segment has mostly defeated any hurdles. Presently, the expectations are that it will sustain its climbing graph. Hopefully, right through till the end of this decade, 2030, and even after. For the naysayers, this is not a trend. It is a matter of common sense and economy.

Whereas, the BGauss A2 model allows up to 75kms in a single charge. This EV is ideal for traveling long distances inside the city limits.
Technology development
The Power of an EV is in its usage of technology. BGauss certainly used its expertise in developing the most cost-effective models. Lithium-ion batteries have been around for several years. But to some, it still seems an uncharted technology because of it’s nascent developing stage. It is a challenge for a technology considered yet unstable. Yet, it can also be an advantage since enhanced options are possible with new lithium-ion technologies constantly in innovation.
Moreover, we have many well-defined advantages to the Li-ion battery process. Therefore, this technology is very often popularly used and will most definitely grow. Knowing battery technology with its strengths and flaws makes it easier to use.
BGauss vision
The company pursues the vision and design with the ‘Made in India’ tag. It has established its production plant in Chakan, Pune. According to the company press statements, the models have been designed in India from start to finish.
BGauss has certainly designed and planned these vehicles with mobility, conservation, and ecology in mind. The focus on manufacturing these wonder vehicles has been for increased safety and securing efficiency.
More reasons to purchase a BGauss
The power of green mobility
Yet another additional reason that inspires consumers to obtain e-scooters is the increase in pollution levels and its effects on the green belt. If you were observant, you probably took note of the seeming improvement in the country’s Air Quality Index (AQI) during last year’s pandemic-induced lockdown. Heck, even nature and our animal friends noticed. Social media was rife with our colorful animal friends peeking out of their usual habitats to wander into cities and towns. Therefore, it is a warning sign of the past pollution levels that now seem all the more disturbing. BGauss’s EV fleet encourages buyers to contemplate investing in these eco-friendly vehicles. A much better option rather than petrol or diesel-driven vehicle. Fuel-run vehicles are a predictable and expensive means of transport in any environment.
How the Green zone works
Electric vehicles have significantly increased their market share. The government with the Fame II scheme has supported the purchase of EVs to reach the carbon emission target. Moreover, green zoning promoted regulations in modes of transit that decreased the impact on the ecology. According to World Energy Council India and WHO, the electrification or rise in usage of e-vehicles will aid the decrease of pollution in Indian metro cities.
The future of electric two-wheeler vehicles
Delivery Service is also opting for e-mobility
Companies like Swiggy and Reliance Mobility BP have tied up to decrease global warming. The tie-up has chalked out a pact for the adoption of electric vehicles, as a means of transport for deliveries. This agreement is the brainchild of the Reliance Group’s efforts to fast-track the conception of an EV ecosystem in India. It will support and build a market for high-performance energy storage batteries. The company intends to produce under a $10 billion green energy play. Falling a similar path of social responsibility, even small-scale businesses have begun to adopt e-scooters for their logistics demands while remarkably trimming down expenses.
There are many exciting ways electric scooters are altering the future of India’s automobile market!
As per the market research report, more than two million two-wheelers in semi-urban areas use scooters for dispatch and courier services. Furthermore, nearly 15% of two-wheelers in Uttar Pradesh own electric two-wheelers making it the largest market share in the mobility business. Reports also show a growing market for electric scooters in the Delhi metro and Karnataka State. Besides, Tier 2 and Tier 3 producers have proposed $210 million worth of investment on e-scooters. It proves that the mobility industry, particularly electric scooters, shall advance considerably in the near future.
In pursuit of change, we see how these patterns and paradigm shifts have directly or indirectly impacted consumers’ choice to buy fuel-driven vehicles to electric scooters and other e-vehicles.
Road ahead
Whether an overreach or a possibility by studying the road ahead, we shall soon know whether India’s aspirations will come true. The vision for 100% Electric Vehicles by 2030.
