The continuous burning of fuels in vehicles is one of the major contributing factors to environmental degradation. No wonder why automakers from across the world are relentlessly working to new, sustainable, and eco-friendly alternatives to reduce environmental pollution which has already touched the threshold level in India. Electric vehicles, over the past few years, have emerged as a viable option to reduce the environmental impact of incessant emissions.
Being among the top five car manufacturers in the world, India is vulnerable to climatic change, and thus it is the need of the hour to adopt e-mobility. The post provides an insight into the future of electric vehicles in India.
Electric Vehicles in India: Origin and Scope
The push for EVs in India is the outcome of the international treaty on climate change, established under the Paris Climate Accords or the Paris Agreement. The prime focus of this agenda is to reduce carbon emissions to keep global warming in check. This is the reason why not just in India but across the world, there is a huge surge in the demand for electric vehicles.
Besides, increased awareness among buyers and decreasing battery costs have further fuelled the demand for EVs globally.
The Government is Sparing No Efforts
To turn the dream of electric mobility into reality, the Indian government is making all the possible efforts. For the same, the Ministry of Power has already introduced National E-Mobility Programme and launched electric cars under it. The aim of this program is to encourage the development of a robust e-mobility ecosystem comprising of top battery-producing companies, electric vehicle manufacturers, charging development organizations, and so on.
The Challenges Ahead
Some of the biggest challenges in India’s dream of EVs include a robust charging infrastructure and the mass production of batteries. EVs will need a constant supply of batteries and proper charging infrastructure to offer a sustainable solution against emissions. However, there are some top battery-producing companies that are well-positioned to tackle this challenge, and not to mention, the Indian government is moving mountains to make the dream of EVs possible.
