BLive, a pioneering e-mobility platform, has launched the innovative BLive EZY EV Rental Program specifically targeting last-mile delivery operators. This program is designed to address the significant financial hurdles that delivery riders often face, such as the requirement for high credit scores to secure loan approvals and the burden of high-interest rates. Central to the program is the “Rent to Own” model, which allows riders to transition to full ownership of their electric vehicles after a rental period of 36 months. This model not only promotes long-term sustainability but also encourages the widespread adoption of green transportation solutions.
The program offers competitive rates starting at just INR 1500 per week, providing a cost-effective and hassle-free means for riders to incorporate electric vehicles into their daily operations. Riders can choose from a range of premium electric vehicles from renowned brands like TVS, Ather, Bounce, and Revolt, ensuring high-quality performance and reliability. Additionally, the program promises substantial savings, with riders potentially reducing their fuel costs by up to 90%. There are no additional expenses for insurance and maintenance, further enhancing the affordability and appeal of the program.
BLive’s initiative is not only a step towards making electric vehicles more accessible but also aims to significantly reduce carbon emissions in urban areas. The program’s integrated AI-enabled platform brings together the entire EV ecosystem, including manufacturers, demand generation partners like Zomato and Swiggy, finance providers, and charging solution providers, creating a comprehensive support network for the riders. BLive has already launched this program in cities like Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, and Goa, with over 200 EVs deployed to last-mile delivery riders. The company has ambitious plans to deploy 10,000 EVs within the next 12 months and is actively seeking additional franchisee partners to expand its mission of electrifying last-mile mobility
