Abstract:

Given its growing size, the ride-hailing market is a critical component in India’s clean mobility ambition. The objective of this report is to document practical experiences and lessons from EV adoption in ride-hailing. BluSmart, a new all-electric car ride-hailing service in India, was selected for this demonstration. BluSmart’s ride-hailing platform started with the objective of transforming Indian cities by providing 100% electric, sustainable, efficient, affordable and reliable mobility solutions. Launched in 2019 as India’s first all-electric car ride-hailing company, BluSmart has since completed 5 million clean kms through plying their vehicles on BluSmart and other platforms. The company now operates a fleet of 300+ EVs and has installed 200+ chargers for their operations in cities and suburbs of Delhi and Mumbai.
