I noticed the same in India not long ago. Unlike in the US, there is broad cultural aspiration toward electric vehicles.

Even tuk-tuk/rickshaw drivers (who are largely lower income) have EV choices, while in the US lower income workers - like rideshare drivers - don't have many cheaper electric options, since EVs are mostly priced for upper income people.

It doesn't hurt that India has to import the vast majority of the petroleum it uses, and has unlimited solar resources.
