Key Takeaways

Key Takeaways of Week 5.
As we wrap up our fifth week, let’s consolidate our understanding and reflect on the most impactful concepts and insights we have uncovered. Here are the key takeaways that will serve as the building blocks for our future explorations:

  • Electric vehicles have significant upfront costs, although these are decreasing. Cars face higher cost barriers than two-and-three-wheelers, underscoring the need for financing solutions.
  • In many cases, the lower running costs of electric vehicles justify their higher initial price, offering savings through improved energy efficiency and reduced maintenance.
  • Overcoming financing barriers for electric two-and-three-wheelers requires targeted government policies, adequate charging infrastructure, and increased consumer awareness.
  • Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) provides a complete picture of the cost of electric vehicles, while Unit Economics examines the profitability of specific models.
  • Reporting on environmental and social impacts, such as emission reductions and job creation, increases transparency and measures success.
