Good evening everyone,

To say if India is ready for EVs or not, to answer this let's ask if any country is prepared for EVs or not, this is more suitable according to most of the surveys and charts we are still dependent on fossil fuels for most part of electricity generation which we need in charging the EV's battery and many other natural resources which are being used in the manufacturing of batteries and whole process of manufacturing of EV, whether it be directly or indirectly, all EV nowadays to say if any country is ready for EV the answer will be no let alone India no doubt our government is working hard to achieve such a noble cause in the reduction of pollution but as of now the actual work is not even started as per the vision of all the upcoming goals there's no doubt we are also working on the sector to reduce the use of fossil fuels but there is no good results globally, as of now any country is not able to reduce the amount of fossil fuel we use in electricity generation but instead it as only grown since last few decades but still there is a hope if not by 2030 then by 2040 we will not just be ready but will be seeing future of EV globally.

Good Afternoon!

I'm Lokesh Palaiya. As the topic of discussion is "whether India is ready for Electric Vehicles or not".

As per the current scenario, India as a developing Nation gradually gaining its momentum in order to sustain or declare Itself Vishvguru (World Power). If we talk about like Electric Vehicle sector out of many. According to the United Nations and other government and private newsletters, we have come to know that vehicles completely operated on Petrol and diesel are prime to consume vast amount of energy resources and as a result making our environment filled with numerous types of diseases caused by pollution such noise pollution, air pollution and water pollution during crude stage. In this contest, Each and every developed and developing economy are trying it's hard to go completely carbon less for Which Indian PM Modi has a mandate or vision to make India Carbon free till 2030 in order to have completed his ambitions Government has come up with discerning and insightful schemes to subsidize Private Vehicle manufacturing companies If they produce the targeted amount of vehicles as per the govt requisite and sale it to the consumer. But recently we are some issues in adopting EVs because of the high cost of battery which usually takes around 22-24 hours for a full charge. And issues like lack of EV stations cause they are only available in highly economically stable metropolitan cities such as Mumbai, Bengaluru, Delhi and Kolkata but not even a single trace of station in Tier 2 or Tier 3 cities.

Thank You.

I agree with this point that India is ready for electric vehicles because We know that vehicles using petrol and diesel release the co2 gas which is harmful for the environment and being the most populous country in the world India demands a huge number of vehicles. Using petrol and diesel creates a devastating effect on the environment and therefore, the Indian government taking steps to increase the production of EV Vehicles, Moreover, The Govt is also taking steps to encourage people to use EV Vehicles because they won't affect our environment.

Adding to this, The Govt already built EV Vehicle charging stations across every city and highway so that the journey of people can not be stop whoever using EV vehicles. The cost of EV Vehicles is also going down and a large number of people already took part in this step of saving the environment.

Overall, India is ready for this shift and making progress towards electric vehicles.

I want to question you guys if India is ready for EVs why does every state has different subsidy for EVs? Why subsidies aren't common for all of India and we also don't have that much amount of electricity produced in-house? So there will be a scarcity of electricity.

And this will let to an increase in the cost of electricity which will affect people who don't even have money to buy a car.

Hello everyone.

I believe that India is ready for EVs, but in rural areas, there is some unacceptance for EVs because it takes time to charge, so in my opinion it would be a great Move toward the EV that we should make a hybrid system in the beginning. We can charge it and also we can use by fuel so that people will be used to it and slowly we can totally shift towards EVs.

Hello everyone,

Yes, India is ready for EV.

We, the Indian people, are very conscious of the environment and its safety, but unfortunately, in search of development, we are damaging it, though it hurts us in the future. People are aware of the safety of the environment and are ready to contribute their part. The stats of electric vehicle usage are increasing, and personally, I feel the government has to support it by giving cost reductions, encouraging sales of electric vehicles, and establishing service and charging points in every petrol filling station. This encourages people to buy electric vehicles, and we are ready to contribute our part to be environmentally friendly, and we are ready to adopt any technologies that are eco-friendly.

GOOD AFTERNOON.

Today's topic is India is ready for EVs or not.

INDIA is a very populated country. There the requirement for the vehicles is very high. Most of Indian vehicles are either petrol or diesel or CNG oriented. But the problem is petrol and diesel engine produce co2 gas but the EV is pollution-free vehicles. Nowadays petrol and diesel prices are very high there for EVs is much cheaper.

So it is a very big yes that India is definitely ready for EV. Many companies launch EV LIKE TATA, HYUNDAI AND AUDI and many more like that. So from my side EV is good for the future.

India is definitely ready for EV. Apart from the mobility point EVs also has possibilities of Automation and driverless cars which is less possible with Traditional Petroleum cars. EV cars have less energy wastage due to fewer energy conversions.

They have less pollution impact on the environment.

And the future is heading towards solar power so sooner or later we will rely on EVs and this is the best time when companies like TATA, AUDI, and HYUNDAI are bringing hybrid and EV cars.

Good afternoon everyone.

According to me, Yes, India is ready for Electric vehicles. As we all are aware pollution is increasing day by day and the main reason for the same is smoke coming out from vehicles and factories. In spite of this cost of fuel is also increasing and due to the charges of transportation increases.

So, electric vehicles should be introduced in India as soon as possible because EV produces very less pollution. And a few days back huge reserves of Lithium has been found so the problem of production of Lithium batteries is now solved as now we don't have to import lithium batteries.

So, India is all set for EV's.

Good afternoon all, I think this is very interesting and crucial topic of today's time.

So, I would like my thought in this regard in the best possible way.

In my point of view, yes it is very necessary to accept electric vehicles and India is also ready for accepting it. As we know, day by day pollution and climate change is increasing which constantly putting threats to our upcoming generation and us as well.

So, it is a good practice to foster electric vehicles and the government is very actively participating in it by launching many schemes like providing subsidies for EV users and many other things. Also, one more benefit is adding in India's favour that there is some location found in India where large lithium reserves have been found. But, currently, there are some challenges that need to deal with like, a very less number of charging stations are there.

Thank you.
