Is India ready for Electric Vehicles?

Hello all,

I would like to put my thoughts here by stating that we are not 100% ready to go all-electric. Various reasons are that people really enjoy driving petrol and diesel engines because it is affordable and also much easier to maintain. If India has to go all-electric there should be more awareness of how E vehicles could be a value add to the environment as well. Now, let us talk about the pricing of electric vehicles they are priced much higher than a normal petrol/ diesel engine. The cost of the battery is 40 to 50% of the vehicle cost which makes it even more expensive to maintain it.

We should work on infrastructure, Supply chain on how to manufacture and sell it at affordable prices, ease of use, and convenience of battery charging plants last. We are in the beginning of an era of EVs but this will take much longer than we can ever imagine.

Greetings to everyone!

I am going to share my points on this topic.

In my point of view, India is not ready for electric vehicles because India is one of the largest transport usage nations in EV the distance travelled for a full charge of the battery is less. So we couldn't go for long distances and Indian roads will not be suitable for Ev's. But in the current situation, the fossil fuel rate will increase and it will not be available for our future transportation so we definitely depend on EVs in future but now India is not ready but in future, it will be ready and make some achievements in Ev.

Hello everyone, I am Pragati Koli.

I believe India is ready for electric vehicles. Almost all automobile players have launched their electric vehicles, which aligns well with government policies. The only challenge is that the cost of these vehicles is higher compared to others, and we also need to increase the number of EV charging stations.

India is preparing for electric vehicles. It has been said that by 2030, 30% of the vehicles running on the road will be electric vehicles. Electric vehicles will help in reducing pollution, oil bill that the country has and generating employment. Though the infrastructure required for these vehicles is still being made like charging stations. Since, this is a new project so the cost is very high. Government has launched a scheme called FAME to allow subsidy on various things required for EVs. So, the country not yet ready but is preparing for EVs.

According to me, yes, the Indian government is ready for EV but it all lies on the people who are gonna by it.

It takes time for them to recognize. As it has good things such as Eco-friendly and less Maintenance but people offer to buy a car that travels fast. And they prefer to be at the time. They need not like wast time in charge.

According to me, Electric cars are coal-powered cars. Their carbon emissions can be worse than gasoline-powered cars.

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.

From my point of view, India is still not ready for EV vehicles because in India energy and electricity consumption is a very big concern because still there are various villages where electricity isn't available sufficiently whereas if we want to make a charging station for e vehicles is very inappropriate as well as making or planting of that much electric vehicles charging station may lead to very high cost. So maybe India will be ready within the next 3-5 years for electric vehicles if India focuses on power generation from renewable resources.

Hai everyone,

Today's topic is a Electric vehicle.

Yes, India is not yet ready to produce Electric vehicle but in future we may use the e -vehicle. Electric vehicle reduces the sound pollution as well as Air pollution. Now people are slightly using E-vehicle and price is also quite good and its weight also very less.

Greetings of the day.

I'm Saniya. today's GD topic is "Is India ready for Electric vehicles".

What I think for the current situation India is starting to develop a culture for Electric vehicles know the government providing charging stations to all cities currently in metro cities like Mumbai, Pune, etc have EV charging stations but in villages is not there for that some time is required, so I feel India start developing a culture for electric vehicles and soon India is ready for it.
