Delhi\\u2019s roads are being taken over by electric mopeds, scooters and rickshaws. More than fifty per cent of two- and three-wheelers are already electric, and the market is expected to continue growing. It\\u2019s good news for the fight against climate change. Why has the transition to green vehicles been so swift in India and what can the rest of the world learn from it?
Graihagh Jackson speaks to reporter Sushmita Pathak, who\\u2019s been chatting to those who\\u2019ve made the switch to electric as well as those who haven\\u2019t. Akshima Ghate from the RMI Foundation and Louise Ribet of C40 cities explain why these small vehicles are so popular and what countries like India and others gain from encouraging electric uptake. From better air quality and healthier children to energy security and manufacturing expertise, there are many benefits beyond mitigating climate change.
