BLive launches EV rental platform for last mile delivery operators

E-mobility platform BLive has launched its BLive EZY EV Rental Program, specifically designed for last-mile mobility partners and aims to bridge the financial gaps that delivery riders face when transitioning to electric vehicles.

The BLive EZY EV Rental Program addresses the financial challenges delivery riders encounter, particularly the need for a high CIBIL score for loan approvals. With competitive rates and flexible terms, the program makes the transition to electric vehicles more accessible. Rentals start as low as Rs 1500 per week, allowing delivery partners to integrate EVs into their operations seamlessly.

The integrated AI-enabled platform brings together the entire EV ecosystem, including EV manufacturers, demand generation partners like Zomato and Swiggy, leading finance and charging solution providers, and the growing community of gig workers. Enabling fleet operators onboarded as franchisee partners to create, deploy, and manage fleets with the help of full-stack fleet management solutions is driving the adoption of sustainable transportation solutions.

BLive plans to deploy 10,000 EVs in the next 12 months and is actively seeking more franchisee partners to join their mission to electrify last-mile mobility.

“The BLive EZY EV Rental Program is a step forward in making electric vehicles more accessible, providing a cost-effective and hassle-free way for riders to own their EVs. We believe this initiative will not only empower riders but also contribute significantly to reducing carbon emissions in our cities,” said the company’s founder Samarth Kholkar.

The company claims that riders can save up to 90% on fuel costs via the program. The BLive EZY EV Rental Program has already launched operations in five cities: Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, and Goa, deploying over 200 EVs to last-mile delivery riders.
