The country’s shift towards sustainable practices is primarily exemplified by the widespread adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs). However, several critical obstacles continue to impede the widespread embrace of EVs. These challenges encompass limitations in battery technology, the inadequacy of charging infrastructure, a dearth of publicly accessible charging stations, suboptimal placement of charging infrastructure and the lack of coordination among charging station operators—all collectively hamper EV growth prospects.
India’s current EV trajectory
India’s shift from Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles to EVs is in its early stages, with EVs accounting for just 0.1 percent of total vehicle sales in the country. However, a significant push is for this transition to be completed by 2030. The government is actively encouraging automobile manufacturers to pivot towards EV production, aiming to save up to US$ 60 billion in oil expenditure, reduce emissions by 37 percent and decrease reliance on fuel imports. This shift safeguards against vulnerabilities associated with volatile crude oil prices and currency fluctuations.
The current limitations in battery capacity and the restricted driving range of EVs pose challenges to their broader adoption. The prevailing trend of continually adding vehicles reliant on expensive imported fuels is not sustainable, particularly in congested cities grappling with infrastructure constraints and severe air pollution. Consequently, the transition to electric mobility emerges as a promising global strategy for decarbonising the transportation sector.
