Anand Mahindra Tweets About Electric Scooter Challan
This incident took place in Kerala. The owner of the electric scooter shared the image of the receipt of the challan. Funnily enough, a traffic police official issued a challan in the name of the EV owner for not having the PUC certificate. Now, anyone even remotely familiar with EVs must know that these vehicles don’t produce tailpipe emissions. As a result, they don’t need any PUC certificate. That is the reason why the industry is heading toward electrification in the first place.
