The customers are charged on per ride or per kilometres basis depending on the market scenario.
"We are trying to enter into Warangal and Karimnagar cities. People are really looking forward to such initiatives through an app-based platform. We have developed our own app. The beauty of our initiative or product is the batteries which are going to charge via solar power. After the ride, the customer will receive a note featuring the number of CO2 savings, so that customer feels proud that they have helped the future generation by reducing air pollution" said Sandeep.
