India’s electric rickshaws are leaving EVs in the dust

Each month, this upskilled team produces bodies and chassis for nearly 5,000 three-wheeler EVs, locally known as e-rickshaws, for the New Delhi-based YC Electric, India’s second-largest manufacturer in the segment. In 2023, YC Electric alone sold over 40,600 e-rickshaws, while 82,500 electric cars were sold in the country. Even as India awaits its first Tesla, these humble e-rickshaws made by workers like Baran are powering an EV revolution in the country.  Each month, this upskilled team produces bodies and chassis for nearly 5,000 three-wheeler EVs, locally known as e-rickshaws, for the New Delhi-based YC Electric, India’s second-largest manufacturer in the segment.

The Sonipat plant where YC builds its e-rickshaws is a joint venture with the company’s former Chinese import partners Jiang Li and Xue Jian Nan, who hold a 49% stake in the facility. “The link [with the Chinese suppliers] became so good that they also believed in us, invested money with us, and shared technology with us,” Kakkar said. Chinese engineers stayed “for days” to train welders like Baran when the factory first opened, he said. His company’s ethos, according to Kakkar, is “Make in India, but technology from China.”

An easy way to date photos from the end of the Edo period: if there's a rickshaw in the photo, it was taken during or after 1869, so it's not an Edo period photo.

Because that's the year the jinrikisha was invented in Japan, and it spread very rapidly from there: some 200,000 were in use across the Japan by 1896 and export to other Asian countries had begun in 1874.

Centaur-rickshaw

- Sorry kiddo. One coin may get you a ride with a goblin-rickshaw, but to ride with me you'll have to pay two.

I'm pretty happy with this Centaur-rickshaw. However it has a major flaw, the Minifigure will not quite fit in there because of the arms. So I might redesign it another day.
