As the gas station employee fills the vehicle with fuel, the man on the wheel starts munching his snack and his fellow passengers are also seen enjoying their food.

Business tycoon Anand Mahindra has also joined the bandwagon of promoting e-mobility but with a quirky twist.

Mahindra shared a funny clip showing four men seated on a dining table fitted with four wheels and approaching a fuel station. One of the men is seen riding the wheel-fitted table and stopping it near the filling spot. As the gas station employee fills the vehicle with fuel, the man on the wheel starts munching his snack and his fellow passengers are also seen enjoying their food. After refuelling, they ride forward in speed.

Poking fun at the ride, the Mahindra chairman tweeted, “I guess this is e-mobility. Where ‘e’ stands for eat…”

“Not possible here in India. We have more potholes than pavements,” commented a user. Another user wrote, “Can use this concept to build e-cart. Will be a great deal of help for sellers who need to push the carts all along to sell their commodities.”

Can use this concept to build e-cart. Will be a great deal of help for sellers who need to push the carts all along to sell their commodities.

Mahindra is known for his cheeky posts and sarcastic tweets. In April this year, Mahindra tagged Tesla CEO Elon Musk and posted a picture of a bullock cart. Terming it as the original Tesla vehicle, he went on to promote the bullock cart by listing its features—no pollution, fully self-driven, and no requirements of fuel and a Google map.

In April 2020, Mahindra shared a video of an e-rickshaw modified to isolate passengers during the coronavirus pandemic. Impressed by the usage of plastic and metal sheets for separate seating of all four passengers, he appreciated the auto-rickshaw driver for his “corona innovation”.
