What the source says

In 2023 in India, despite the upfront price being 55% higher than for its gasoline equivalent, the average electric 3W model (auto-rickshaw) is more than 50% cheaper to own after 8 years of service, and even without subsidies is over 40% cheaper.

Checked: the figure 55%is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
