Goodbye 2022: Top electric two-wheelers launched in 2022

In the past few years, the electric two-wheeler market has flourished drastically. People have started accepting electric two-wheelers in their daily life. The main reasons behind this are the increasing cost of petrol and the government's subsidies. So, people have started moving towards alternative sources of energy.

This is where electric vehicles make a lot of sense for people whose daily commute does not change. So, they can charge the vehicle at their office building or overnight at their home. Such people know how much distance they have to cover so they don't really have to suffer from range anxiety as well. Here are the top four electric scooters that were launched in the Indian market.
