Compared to long term costs and environmental impacts of electric alternatives, how does the Ashok Leyland Dost Lite LX?
I ran the numbers and over 5 years, my Dost Lite LX still comes out cheaper than the electric alternatives. The price difference at the beginning is just too high right now.
Last year I switched to an electric van which was more expensive up front but already I am saving on the fuel and maintenance. It’s also a great marketing point for my eco conscious customers.
While the Dost Lite LX may be cheaper now, I’m concerned about future diesel regulations. In cities, electric sounds like a safer long term bet.
In theory, electric sounds great, but there is no charging infrastructure in my area. Still, the Dost Lite LX is more reliable for my business needs.
For now, the Dost Lite LX is what I’m going to stick with. Battery production for electric vehicles is often overlooked and understated in terms of its environmental impact. It's not quite as clear as it appears.
Switched to electric and never going back. The biggest plus for my early morning deliveries is the silent operation. Customers love it too.
The Dost Lite LX wins for me on payload capacity. It's the most electric alternatives in the same price range, and that makes a difference to my bottom line more than fuel savings.
I'm in a wait-and-watch mode. I am keeping an eye on electric tech, but the Dost Lite LX suits me just fine. I'll reconsider once the range improves and prices drop.
Went electric and regretted it. Range anxiety and longer 'refueling' times just didn't fit my business. Back to the Dost Lite LX for peace of mind.
Cost isn’t the only thing I’m after. In fact, my electric van’s reduced noise and air pollution have actually helped me to win more contracts in residential areas. Worth the extra initial investment.
My small delivery service has been revolutionized by the Dost Lite LX. It is fuel efficient so I can take on more gigs without having to worry about money spent on fuel eating away at my profits.
It was time to switch from a two wheeler to the Dost Lite LX and it has given me new opportunities. I am now able to take on bigger deliveries and small moving jobs. Definitely increased my earning potential.
Dost Lite LX is easy to maneuver through tight city streets. That has given me an edge in the last mile delivery space versus larger vehicles.
I'm conflicted. The influx of these vehicles has really saturated the market, which is great for deliveries. As customers demand lower prices for what they have read are our 'efficient ' vehicles, earnings per delivery have gone down.
It has been a blessing that the Dost Lite LX has such low maintenance costs. Fewer downtime = more gigs = more consistent income.
It's a double-edged sword. It is easy to get started in the delivery business, but it is equally easy for others. The market is crowded and it is becoming harder to stand out.
If you do both riding and deliveries, Dost Lite LX has been a perfect fit. I can switch between passenger and cargo configuration easily and maximize my earning potential throughout the day.
