Battery, which accounts for 30-40% of the total cost of a vehicle, could be provided separately.
The government plans to allow companies to sell electric two and three wheelers without batteries to "create an ecosystem" for clean transport, said a notification on Wednesday.
EVs can be registered for
use without a battery, too.
The battery, which accounts
for 30-40 per cent of the total cost of a vehicle,
could be provided separately by the original equipment manufacturer or the
energy service provider, said the transport and highways ministry in a
notification to states.
The step will make the
upfront cost of the vehicles to be lower than ICE two-wheelers and
three-wheelers.
The ministry said the
vehicles without batteries can be sold and registered based on the type
approval certificate issued by a test agency.
It said there is no need to
specify the make/ type or any other details of the battery for registration.
