All Chargeup battery switching stations in Delhi/NCR will make owning an EV simple as part of a pilot program. So far, about 50 e-rickshaw drivers have profited, and that number will only rise! Additionally, Chargeup has developed a financing plan that enables the drivers to borrow the cost of the vehicle at a reasonable 10 percent interest rate. Plans include expanding the service to additional cities.

The pandemic’s two-year duration has been difficult for e-rickshaw drivers. Due to a lack of money, owning and operating an e-rickshaw had become an expensive prospect for them. This is where Chargeup, Paisalo Digital, and GEM’s creative partnership saw an opportunity to change market dynamics.

“Chargeup has been assisting e-rickshaw drivers to overcome range anxiety through our simple battery switching services,” stated Varun Goenka, Co-Founder, and CEO of Chargeup. “For EV drivers and their families, we have made it possible for their operational range and earning potential to nearly double, improving their financial security and level of living. It will be the first time in the EV ecosystem that a partnership like ours with PaisaLo Digital Ltd. and Goenka Electric Motors (GEM) will make e-rickshaws accessible to drivers at cheaper prices and with straightforward financing alternatives. Chargeup advances significantly in its goal to fuel the growth of one million drivers with the help of this cooperation.”
