Moving around Kerala used to be about patience, fuel budgets, and sweaty commutes. Not anymore. Thanks to the ₹10,000 state subsidy under FAME II (source: komaki.in), plus high fuel prices and short urban commutes, more and more Keralites are switching to EVs. Throw in dense cities, clean energy awareness, and the convenience of electric mobility? It’s a perfect storm for going green.

No, comparison isn’t the thief of joy. It is in fact, very, very important to understand. All before you make a purchase.
