Through this partnership, gig workers will gain access to BLive’s affordable and sustainable electric vehicles (EVs). BLive’s EZY EV Rental Programme, designed to eliminate financial barriers, offers flexible rental terms with weekly rates starting as low as Rs 1,500. The program also includes a “Rent to Own” option, allowing riders to own their EVs after 36 months, promoting both sustainability and economic independence.
Industry surveys reveal that 77 percent of last-mile delivery riders prefer EVs due to their environmental benefits, though financial constraints remain a significant hurdle. BLive’s initiative addresses these concerns by offering competitive rates that encourage wider EV adoption. By collaborating with leading EV brands like TVS, Ather, Bounce, and Revolt, BLive ensures that riders have access to top-tier vehicles, which offer substantial savings on fuel, insurance, and maintenance costs.
The EZY platform provides riders with the opportunity to acquire EVs with minimal deposits, bypassing the need for CIBIL checks. The program also includes comprehensive insurance, roadside assistance, and extended warranties, ensuring a reliable and worry-free experience. Riders can save significantly on fuel costs while contributing to a sustainable future.
Samarth Kholkar, CEO and Co-Founder of BLive, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “This collaboration with Awign marks a significant milestone for BLive. Our EZY EV Rental Programme has been instrumental in reducing financial barriers for delivery workers, and this partnership will further accelerate the adoption of electric mobility in India. Together with Awign, we are committed to transforming last-mile delivery and promoting sustainable practices.”
Mr. Gurpreet Singh, Co-founder and CBO of Awign, also highlighted the significance of the collaboration: “At Awign, we have been actively working in the space of sustainable mobility and related technologies for a while now. From deploying charger installation infrastructure across India to now onboarding 10,000 riders for BLive’s EZY EV Rental Programme, we continue to work towards operational excellence as well as sustainability.”
The partnership between BLive and Awign is poised to accelerate the adoption of electric mobility among gig workers, enhancing operational efficiency and reducing environmental impact. With a target of deploying 10,000 electric bikes within the next 12 months, this collaboration aims to drive sustainable practices in the gig economy, setting a new standard for environmental and economic empowerment.
As the Indian EV industry rapidly grows—with the market for electric two-wheelers projected to reach 1.6 million units by 2025—this partnership leverages current trends in the gig economy, particularly in last-mile delivery services, making the transition to electric mobility both accessible and advantageous for gig workers across the nation.
