In past couple of years, India is witnessing a surge in the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs). This adoption is taking place becasue of the awareness of the environmental benefits and cost savings that EVs can offer. However, with every technology, both pros and cons are associated, there are challenges that need to be addressed to ensure that the EV industry in India thrives. We spoke to three industry experts to get their insights on the various challenges/obstacles that need to be overcome. ed.

How does the lack of standardization in EV charging protocols impact EV adoption in India?
The lack of standardization in electric vehicle charging protocols is a significant issue that can impact the growth and adoption of electric vehicles in India. For instance, when Mahindra Reva electric vehicle was launched, it adopted the Chinese GB/T protocol, but later switched to the Bharat charging protocol, which was adapted from Europe. This lack of standardization is not just an issue in India but is a problem worldwide, with different countries using different charging protocols such as CHAdeMO in Japan, Tesla’s own protocol in the US, CCS SAE type in Europe, and CCS in India.
