EV Market-Amidst the continuous fluctuations in the prices of petrol and diesel and the increasing pressure on the domestic budget, the inclination of common consumers is now increasing rapidly towards electric vehicles (EV). There is confusion among customers due to dozens of new and old options available in the market. Meanwhile, on the back of its traditional reputation and robust design, Bajaj Chetak has emerged as an affordable and reliable vehicle for working people and middle class families who travel daily.

EV Market: Bajaj Chetak becomes a strong option for the people troubled by the cost of petrol and diesel, know the price and range.

Combo of metal body strength and long range

It is common for vehicles to have minor scratches or dents on narrow streets and roads with heavy traffic. Compared to other scooters with fiber body, Bajaj Chetak is most liked for its solid metal body, which makes it durable for a long period. To strengthen its hold in the market, the company has launched it in series like C2501, C3001 and C35 according to different budgets and needs. Its range is the biggest plus point for daily commuters to Delhi. This scooter has the ability to give an actual range of 113 km to 151 km depending on the variant on a single charge. Its starting ex-showroom price in Delhi has been set at Rs 96,504, which becomes more practical locally with the policies and subsidies of the state government.

Voices from the Ground / Official Statements

“Petrol prices were burning a hole in the pocket. The daily distance from Karkardooma to our office is about 40 kilometres. Due to the metal body, the Chetak feels safe in Delhi traffic and the monthly petrol expenditure has reduced to one-third.”

Impact on Residents / What Comes Next

According to Transport Department data, there has been a significant increase in the graph of two-wheeler electric vehicles in both commercial and personal categories at the registration centers in Delhi compared to last year. In the coming time, the network of charging stations is going to become more dense from Kashmiri Gate to Saket, due to which the range anxiety will be completely eliminated. For people who travel 50 to 70 kilometers daily, this switch is not only environment friendly but has also become a major source of monthly savings. The administration is also continuing to provide relief to EV buyers on registration and road tax to promote pollution control and green energy.
