I have seen cars like this. I have wondered how far they are able to travel on one charge. It seems like it will be a matter of time before battery-powered cars are the norm. I wonder how the dealerships are adjusting to this reality.

I like those cars which has good battery back up because these cars save the fuel and good for the environment. Egmore and Central Railway Station cars are i have used and it provides lots of facilities.

It seems to be one of the best service for all disabled and aged person. Further let me know whether they charge any cost for the same or it is provided as a social service.

It's really very nice concept.I should say that every one should start to drive battery operated cars Because they produce almost minute pollution, they are light weight & if solar cell comes to use more then there would be less use of electricity.

I have used the car at both Egmore and Chennai Central Railway Station. It is not so much a car, but a golf cart-other wise called a buggy. It is run on battery/charged on electricity. It is the same golf cart that is available for transit in International Airports and I have used a similar one in a private resort near Chennai for taking passengers accross the resort.
The service in Chennai- both at Egmore and Chennai Central is sponsored by AIRTEL. It is free for use by a disabled person. You have to sometimes wait, especially if there are more than one disabled person to transport. The driver of the golf cart has a mobile number and he can be called and booked in advance, so that you are not kept waiting. The details of the passenger and the train number have to be entered in the book maintained by the driver.The drivers are trained to be polite and courteous, and they do not accept tips.
I am very thankful to AIRTEL for the service and I think that this is one of the most thoughtful services for disabled( locomotor) persons in Chennai.

This facility is also available in Chennai Central and in other major railway stations across all metros...

This is a step taken in the right direction

Sir,
I red about battery operated cars. Can we run this car on road? Can you send me a scaned photo copy of this car ? Will it be available in Mumbai ?
I am very much interested in this car. So please do the needfull.
My disability is 80%. Both legs polio. wright hand amputed above elbow.

Glad to hear about this new feature at our railway station.
India has a huge population of physically challenged people.
But we have made very less efforts so far to make most common places accessible for them.
Hope people use these in right ways and this becomes available in all other places.
When some one builds a commercial or public building, just like electricity and plumbing it should be made accessible for all the physically challenged people just like United States.
It should become part of building code.

Yes, I saw it in the paper too. I think a similar service has been available at Central Station for a while now. Once, when I had gone to see off a relative, I found it being used to rush an old lady for medical assistance - she had been on the train, but had suddenly developed some complications. I didn't much like the way she was being transported as she was lying in a rather precarious position, but at least she could be moved quickly.

It's good to see public utilities like the Railways beginning to pay more attention to the needs of the physically challenged and the aged.
