Launched especially for last-mile mobility partners, the e-mobility platform BLive’s BLive EZY EV Rental Programme attempts to fill the financial gaps that delivery riders encounter while switching to electric vehicles.
Delivery riders often face financial difficulties, especially when applying for loans because they must have a high CIBIL score. This is addressed via the BLive EZY EV Rental Programme. The initiative makes the switch to electric vehicles more affordable with reasonable pricing and flexible terms. Delivery partners can easily include electric vehicles (EVs) into their operations with rental rates as low as Rs 1500 per week.
The integrated AI-enabled platform brings together the entire EV ecosystem, including EV manufacturers, demand generation partners like Zomato and Swiggy, leading finance and charging solution providers, and the growing community of gig workers. Enabling fleet operators onboarded as franchisee partners to create, deploy, and manage fleets with the help of full-stack fleet management solutions is driving the adoption of sustainable transportation solutions.
BLive plans to deploy 10,000 EVs in the next 12 months and is actively seeking more franchisee partners to join their mission to electrify last-mile mobility.
“The BLive EZY EV Rental Program is a step forward in making electric vehicles more accessible, providing a cost-effective and hassle-free way for riders to own their EVs. We believe this initiative will not only empower riders but also contribute significantly to reducing carbon emissions in our cities,” said the company’s founder Samarth Kholkar.
According to the company, participants in the programme can reduce their gasoline expenses by up to 90%. Over 200 EVs have been made available to last-mile delivery riders through the BLive EZY EV Rental Programme, which has already begun operations in five cities: Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, and Goa.
