There is a dire need to bring in lifestyle and environment changes to fight the increasing pollution levels in Delhi-NCR. With the government adopting schemes such as 'Odd-Even', the pollution levels might reduce, but what happens after the initial five to ten days of respite?

In such a scenario, it becomes important that one changes their choice of conveyance in the long run. By opting for electric vehicles, which run on renewable energy and batteries and hence, emit fewer fumes as compared to their gas-guzzling counterparts, one can do their bit to save the environment.

Surveys also state that electric vehicles can reduce the detrimental effects of air pollution by almost 70 per cent. Moreover, electrification of the transportation ecosystem in the country is the proverbial next big thing in the automobile sector.

Given below is a list of select alternatives, which one can opt for while commuting, and do their bit to reduce the alarming pollution levels:
