i think it would be the cheapest automatic rental for self drive [if not any car currently]
you will need to add VAT and insurance to the daily rental but it still seems like a good deal
i was thinking about how to deal with the recharging problem since the cord would have to be at least 10-20 m longer to reach from the parking to the nearest a/c plug [15 amps]
not to mention the hassle of cars driving over the wire across the road since there is no space for parking inside the house gates
assuming the theoretical range of 100 km max which will reduce with ac usage to below 90 km;
i'll try to take it for 2-3 days at a time and simply return / replace with a new rental so they can keep recharging at the store as i usually drive about 10-20km daily only in delhi
since i go almost monthly to delhi, i'll update with my feeble attempt to reduce air pollution and see if its a practical alternative to taking cabs around.
m&m should introduce a variant with power steering, solar roof and removable batteries which we can carry indoors for charging to make it more usable else it just a good concept which 99% of taxi users will never avail in the metros.
only those with enough parking will have the space to install the solar charging stations with batteries at rs. 1.5 lakh each ...
anyone driven any electric car yet?
