🤔 Why is GreenEVCabs ₹700 Cheaper?
This is the #1 question we get. People assume cheaper means lower quality. Here's the honest truth:
✅ How GreenEVCabs Saves Money
- 💻 No surge pricing algorithm
We don't use dynamic pricing software that increases prices 1.5x-3x during demand. Fixed pricing always.
- 📱 Direct booking, no middleman
WhatsApp/phone booking means no platform fees (15-25%) like aggregator apps charge.
- 🎯 Focus on high-volume routes
We specialize in Pune-Mumbai corridor, ensuring high utilization and return trips.
- ⚡ Lower fuel costs (electricity)
Charging at ₹2/km vs ₹8/km for competitors still using diesel hybrid models.
- 🔧 Lower maintenance (EV advantage)
Electric vehicles have 60% fewer moving parts, reducing maintenance costs significantly.
- 👥 Lean team, efficient operations
Small, focused team vs large corporate overheads. Savings passed to customers.
❌ Why Competitors Charge More
- 📈 Surge pricing revenue model
Depend on 1.5x-3x surge pricing during peak hours for profitability.
- 💼 High platform/commission fees
Aggregator platforms take 15-25% commission from every booking.
- 🏢 Large corporate overheads
Expensive offices, large teams, investor pressure for high margins.
- 📱 App development & maintenance
Complex apps, servers, customer support infrastructure cost millions.
- 📣 Heavy marketing spend
TV ads, celebrity endorsements, heavy digital marketing budgets.
- 🚗 Diesel-electric hybrid models
Some competitors use hybrid (not pure EV), higher running costs.
💡 The Math
For a typical Pune-Mumbai airport trip (150 km):
- • Our electricity cost: ₹300 (150 km × ₹2/km)
- • Competitor's diesel cost: ₹1,200 (150 km × ₹8/km)
- • Their platform fee (20%): ₹740
- • Their surge markup (average): ₹700-₹2,000
Total extra cost for competitors: ₹1,600-₹3,200. We save this and pass it to you!

"Cheaper means older or poorly maintained vehicles."
✅ Truth
We use 2024-2025 model Kia Carens EV and BYD E-MAX 7 - same or newer than competitors. Lower price comes from efficient operations, not vehicle quality.

"Budget services have untrained or unprofessional drivers."
✅ Truth
All our drivers have 5+ years experience, proper licenses, verified background checks, and training on electric vehicle handling. Many are ex-commercial vehicle drivers.
❌ Myth

✅ Truth
Our vehicles have ADAS Level 2 safety (collision warning, lane assist), 6 airbags, and are serviced every 5,000 km. Safety is non-negotiable.
