A Vindication ?

 

 

Just read news that MSRTC will “ Wet Lease “, some 2,000 Electric Buses over next 12 months

This lease will have “ Lease Rent “  payable on “ PER KM “ basis ( not on “ per monthly “ basis )

This clause will ensure that the parties leasing out these buses will make sure that there are plenty of EV Battery Charging Stations ( one every few Km ), so that none of the leased buses come to a halt

Since these parties are paid on “ Per Km “ basis, they will put up these Charging Stations on their own

A few years back, EESL had placed on TATA and M&M , an order for OUTRIGHT PURCHASE of 10,000 Electric Cars ( which got cancelled, subsequently )

Since then, I have been advocating a WET LEASE model instead of outright purchase

Following is a ( partial ) list of the E Mails that I sent to Cabinet Ministers / EESL etc

 

Dear Shri Gadkariji,

A few days ago, there was a directive from Central Government that, while on official duty, all government officers must only use ELECTRIC CARS

I believe the current total fleet of Government Cars ( Central + States ? ) is some 5 LAKH cars

EESL / CESL, have been mandated to replace all of these with Electric cars ( in 5 years @ 1 lakh / year ? )

I urge you to issue a directive to EESL / CESL that all of these MUST be taken only on WET LEASE – and on “ Per Km “ basis

Govt would avoid an upfront investment of Rs 50,000  CRORE ( @ Rs 10 lakh / EV )

 

With regards,
