In the recent days i see a lot of ads in the newspapers about, e-bikes – pollution free electric vehicles. These ads tout the supposed advantage of economy, noiselessness and with an added benefit of helping the environment. There is an electric car also in production. Are these not mis-informations? In India, like in most countries around the world, majority of the electricity is produced from fossil fuels. So how do you cut pollution when you use electricity produced from fossil fuel to charge your vehicle? Less smoke, less noise, economical… acceptable with a pinch of salt. No pollution – not acceptable. But to most who read these ads this is not apparent. This is taken to advantage by the sellers. Is it ethical?
