Abstract:
    In our project, we are converting a petrol-driven rickshaw into an electric one. The idea is to convert already manufactured ICE vehicles to EVs saving the initial cost which is quite high for buying a newly manufactured EV. This can provide an affordable way for everyone to use clean and green way of transportation, which helps in reducing air pollution in our region.
What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ?
    Our society is suffering from health, fuel & economic crisis. Air pollution is way too unhealthy for the people in our regions especially in the winter season, fuel prices are getting high day by day making it difficult for people, also buying a new vehicle is getting very hard.
Who needs it ? How many would benefit ?
   People who are driving CNG vehicles need it a lot because CNG is not meant for vehicles. The use of natural gas in vehicles creates an abrupt supply of gas for home and industrial purposes. According to a study, there are at least 2.85 million natural gas vehicles.
How will the solution works
    We take a daily used ICE vehicle and remove the parts that are used to operate it i.e. (Engine, Silencer, Fuel tank, and other peripherals). We then install an electric motor with a controller and install a battery pack according to the need to run the vehicle for a day, considering that the vehicle moves in a city. A solar charging setup is installed to charge the vehicle in the daytime and a portable charger is also given which you can plug on any outlet of our house.
Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different
    Right now there is only SAZGAR ENGINEERING that is producing E-Rickshaws, but they are producing their e-rickshaw from scratch, our idea is unique, and thus not have any competitors yet, because we are not manufacturing an E-Rickshaw from scratch.
