Episode Details

Delhi’s bold push to ban gasoline rickshaws by 2027 and motorcycles by 2028 aims to slash smog—but electric vehicles aren’t a silver bullet. While e-rickshaws are already common in India, their high cost, loan burdens, and driver fears of income loss have sparked legal threats. Worse, scammers are remotely disabling e-rickshaws via Bluetooth hacks, forcing authorities to ban risky apps—yet cybersecurity gaps leave many vulnerable. The real test? Preparing the grid for millions of new electric scooters, where home charging is rare and public stations often fail, raising doubts about whether Delhi’s infrastructure can keep up with this electrification rush.
