Friday, 13 September 2024, 01:21
The EV Challenge in India
India is at a crucial juncture in its quest for electric vehicles (EVs). With ambitious goals set for 30% of new private cars to be electric by 2030, stakeholders are debating whether to focus on manufacturing or infrastructure.
Current EV Landscape
- Fewer than 2.5% of passenger vehicles sold in the past year were EVs.
- India's electric vehicle manufacturing must ramp up significantly.
- Investment in charging points is equally necessary.
Future Prospects
The dilemma lies in balancing these two critical areas of development. Without adequate charging infrastructure, the electric vehicle market may stagnate, thus hindering India's ambitious environmental goals.
