By Armin Rosencranz and Nitish Raj 

Battery operated electric rickshaws, commonly known as e-rickshaws, are passenger vehicles powered by electricity-charged batteries. Considering their eco-friendliness and economy, they are gradually replacing petrol/ diesel/ CNG auto rickshaws. At some places, solar powered e-rickshaws have entered the market. These rickshaws’ motors are powered by solar energy and hence they have a solar panel on the roof. In many of these e-rickshaws, the batteries, as well as the motors, are charged through solar energy.
