Speaking on this creative way of promoting sustainable mobility, Ruchik Gandhi, from the Roadtrippers Club, stated, “Many users used the automatic electric vehicles for the first time and were very pleasantly surprised by the pollution-free & noise-free vehicles. The event triggered the thoughts amongst the participants the urge to know more about our city’s heritage, to take more roadtrips to discover new experiences and to definitely consider switching to Electric Vehicles as an alternative mobility solution”.
The winning team of the Eco Hunt comprised of Jayaram, Karishma and Yohaan who completed the hunt in 48 minutes.
India is struggling in solving its pollution problems and in such times events like these can play a big role at a ground level in creating awareness regarding a clean and green environment. Mahindra’s e2o and eVerito are the only affordable electric cars available in India at the moment while we await the Tata Tigor EV and Tiago EV in the near future.
