Riding an EV Cab in Jaipur — What It's Actually Like

KTS EV Fleet: 15,000+ Rides Later

When KTS Cab launched the Tata Xpress-T EV fleet in Jaipur, the most common question from passengers was: "Will it be as comfortable as my usual cab?" After 15,000+ rides, the answer is: better.

The Ride Experience: Quieter Than You Expect

Electric motors produce near-zero vibration and very little noise. The cabin of the Tata Xpress-T is noticeably quieter than a petrol cab — especially at traffic signals where petrol engines idle loudly.

Air Conditioning: The Biggest Surprise

In a petrol cab, the AC compressor runs off the engine. EV AC is powered directly by the battery pack — it delivers consistent, strong cooling regardless of speed or traffic. In Jaipur's 45°C summer heat, this is a significant practical difference.

Range: Does It Actually Make It?

The Tata Xpress-T EV has a certified range of 312km on a single charge. A typical KTS Cab EV does 150–200km per shift. The fleet charges overnight at KTS's Jhotwara depot.

Pricing: Same as Petrol Cabs

KTS EV rides are priced identically to equivalent petrol cab rides. You get a better ride for the same price.
