Prices can't dampen EV sales as it steps on leasing pedal
Leasing is becoming a key driver in electric vehicle (EV) sales in India, especially as the high upfront cost remains a barrier to adoption. Companies like Quiklyz, Ayvens, and Lithium Urban Technologies are witnessing significant growth in the EV leasing business. Fleet operators and logistics companies find leasing more economical than purchasing due to lower total cost of ownership and the ability to channel capital to other parts of their business. Leasing also offers flexibility and technology risk mitigation in the rapidly evolving EV industry.
