India Electric Three-Wheeler
Overview
An electric three-wheeler
comes with an electric motor instead of an internal combustion engine (ICE). It
generates power by burning a mixture of fuel and gases. One of the most unique
features of electric three-wheelers is that they can be plugged in by the
driver to charge from an off-board electrical power source. This property
differentiates electric three-wheelers from hybrid electric vehicles, which
have an internal combustion engine and an electric motor that consumes energy
contained in batteries. Electric three-wheelers are mainly used for public
transportation such as e-rickshaw and auto service in the city.
India Electric Three-Wheeler
Forecast and Trend
Growth Drivers
Growing Concerns Over
Environmental Pollution
The Environmental Performance Index
(EPI) 2018 ranks India among the bottom five nations. As far as air quality is
concerned, India’s CO2 emissions rate is increasing every year owing to the
emission of toxic gases by fuel-based vehicles. Therefore, the Government of
India is now focusing more on EVs such as three-wheeler vehicles and
introducing policies such as FAME 1 and FAME 2. These initiatives would help
improve air quality besides favoring the market during the forecast period. A
study conducted by TERI (The Energy and Resources Institute) in 2018 revealed
that average traditional LPG auto emits around 0.005 tons of Particulate
Matter-10 (PM10) and 3.72 tons of carbon dioxide per year.Electric
auto-rickshaws (e-autos), on the other hand, emit zero tailpipe emission and
make no noise while meeting people's transportation needs. Furthermore, the
fact that an electric three-wheeler has lower maintenance and running costs
then an internal combustion engine vehicle is likely to propel the growth of
the industry in the coming years.
Government Initiatives
to Drive the Market Growth
The government of India has been responsive in recognizing the need for
transitioning to electric mobility and has developed policies and schemes to
direct growth in this direction on numerous occasions. Such policies and programs emphasize the importance of electric three-wheelers in achieving last-mile connectivity.
The Indian electric three-wheeler market is growing rapidly as a result of
government funding and incentives under the country's "FAME India"
schemes, which encourage the faster adoption of electric three-wheelers.
Apart from
the measures at the national level, several state governments are also
committed to promoting electric three-wheelers in their states to drive market
growth. For example, the Maharashtra Electric Vehicle Policy aims to offer a
subsidy of up to INR 12,000 for the purchase of electric-three wheelers. Additionally,
Andhra Pradesh Electric Mobility Policy 2018proposes policy measures such as waiving
registration and road tax on the sale of EVs, as well as tendering
three-wheeler fleet licenses to businesses owing to which people are buying
electric-three-wheelers, thereby driving the market growth.
Restraints
Lack of Standardization of
Charging Infrastructure
One of the biggest restraints for the
success of deploying the electric vehicle three-wheeler market in India is the
lack of adequate charging infrastructure. India’s EV charging infrastructure is
still at a nascent stage at present and has yet to catch up to meet the
country's needs. This particular factor is severely hampering the acceptance of
EVs in India. Proposing land is a major challenge in any metro city as charging
stations need reserved space not just for the setup, but also for parking
spaces so that multiple vehicles can park and use the charging station. This is
yet another factor that is hindering the growth of the electric three-wheeler
vehicle market in India.
Impact of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has posed a
significant threat to India's electric three-wheeler market as the production of
electric two-wheelers have been hampered as a result of the lockdown. For a
market that is trying to strengthen its position in the industry, COVID 19 came
as a severe blow.
However, in comparison to their ICE counterparts,
the Indian electric three-wheeler market is likely to recover quickly from the
setback. Investing in an electric three-wheeler is likely to aid in the
preservation of air quality and the reduction of health risks in communities.
Recently, the “Switch Delhi’ campaign was launched by Delhi’s Chief Minister,
Mr. Arvind Kejriwal for promoting electric vehicles in the city. The campaign
has gained widespread support and praise from environmentalists, consumers,
celebrities, and business leaders. Additionally, after the implementation of the
Delhi EV policy in August 2020, three-wheelers have become the most common EV
segment in the city. There have been 5534 new EV three-wheeler registrations,
with more users coming forward to make the switch.
India Electric Three-WheelerVehicle
Market: By Battery
Based on battery, the Indian electronic
three-wheeler market is categorized as a lead-acid battery,
lithium-ion-battery, and nickel-metal hybrid battery. Lithium-ion batteries
have the highest market share because they are lightweight, have improved
protection, and are chemically and thermally stable. Additionally, they are
more reliable and are capable of fast charging. Because of these advantages,
electric two-wheeler manufactures are widely adopting lithium-ion batteries in
electric three-wheelers, which in turn is driving the growth of the lithium-ion
battery in this segment. Furthermore, lithium-ion batteries can last up to 10
years or longer, based on how well they are maintained, attracting customers to
purchase electric two-wheelers besides fueling market development.
Furthermore, most lithium-ion batteries
are 95% more powerful, which means 95% or more of the energy contained in the
battery can be utilized. Lead-acid batteries, on the other hand, have
efficiencies of about 80 to 85%. High-quality batteries charge faster and more
efficiently, resulting in a greater effective battery capacity, which is equal
to the depth of discharge.
India Electric Three-Wheeler
Vehicle Market: By Vehicle Type
Based on the vehicle type, the India
electric three-wheeler is segmented into passenger carriers and load
carriers. Passenger carriers include
auto-rickshaws and carriers. These are largely used in rural areas as well as
towns and cities. The auto-rickshaws and carriers are mainly used for traveling
distances that cannot be covered by walking or cycling. Increasing demand for
motorized transportation in public transportation systems is surging the growth
of passenger carriers.
The load carrier segment in the electric
three-wheeler market is likely to witness significant growth during the
forecast period. Load carriers are mainly small vans or trucks that are used
for carrying small-scale industrial loads from one place to another. These are
mostly used in the industrial and commercial sectors. Rapid industrialization
is one major reason that is driving the growth of load carriers.
