Electric vehicles have an apparent range of environmental benefits, which includes the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and minimization of the carbon footprint, the improvement of overall air quality, reduction of air and noise pollution, the conservation of energy resources (non-renewable energy sources), and promotion of energy efficiency.

In urban cities, usage of three-wheelers takes a higher place in public transportation, thus the contribution to air pollution is also high. Converting a larger amount of three-wheelers to electric ones will have a significant impact on the environment.
