Is India ready for Electric Vehicles?

Electric vehicles give us lots of benefits, and they can help us reduce pollution in our country compared to the petrol we use.

Electric vehicles are beneficial for people because they are not so expensive, the vehicle battery is approximately down after 1 day, and they are used to save petrol and coal and help the environment with greener.

In my point of view, India is not ready for electric vehicles. Because India is a developing nation. It has a lack of infrastructure for EVs. Roads are not suitable for running electric bikes or any other vehicles.

Secondly, younger people will not show interest in purchasing electricity because they will not fulfil their needs of them. Youngsters love racing bikes or cars. Electric bikes or cars have lacking in speed.

Many reasons have been stated before this post, but I disagree with some of them as I don't think that India is ready for electric vehicles. Some of my friends have stated that because of the population we should move to EVs, but there are many other constraints too that matter a lot like do we have the proper infrastructure like charging points for these vehicles. If it will be planned that the charging stations will be made, then do we have that much area because there are many people in India who still don't have a place to live, the shelter for them. First-of-all, the Indian govt should facilitate them, and then think of EVs until then we can rely on CNGs which is a good option as per the present scenario and also we have CNG filling stations which ready to use.

Another reason why we should not go for EVs is that India is a developing country, so its citizens need speed which these EVs are not able to fulfil. They (public transport EVs) run max at the speed of 45kmph which is not enough. These vehicles need proper maintenance whereas nowadays, various brands are launching vehicles that need minimum maintenance. Also, EVs need minimum 3-4 hrs to charge and also they get discharged after every 200 km. So it's not a deal of profit or any kind of benefit.

So, from my point of view, India is not ready for EVs.

Thanks.

Hi, My name Raja.

Happy morning everyone,

My topic is ready for EV in India, the EV smooth operation and reduction for pollution and a safe environment.
The more benefits in EVs so people like the E vehicle. The future use of vehicle connection for the mobile is an implied condition.

Resources and development:
Day-by-day resources the Battery management. This one of the issues is clear the E vehicle is 200 percent used the people in the World.

Thank you.

Jai Hind everyone.

As My thought, India is not yet ready for E-vehicles.

1. Scarcity of electricity because of highly populated.
2. No manufacturing company in India as per EV.
3. It's better to discuss about EV after this decade. Because India needs development.

Thank you.

According to the situation of rising prices of petrol, and increasing pollution, the best solution is to be ready to adopt E-Vehicles. Although the point I had read is that the problem which has been pending for decades should be resolved first increasing pollution, rising prices of petrol, and affordability are also the part of problem. Many Automobile industries are launching E-Vehicle therefore we can say that India is ready to adopt, even customers are also increasing major in developed cities like Pune Banglore. As we earlier had thought CNG cars would be adopted or not but now, most of the people for cabs, even for personal use are using CNG cars therefore India is ready to adopt Electric vehicles.

Hello everyone.

I want to express my thoughts on "Is India ready for Electric Vehicles" To proceed with this let's first go with its pros and cons. EVs have an edge on other types of vehicles (like vehicles which run on petrol, and diesel) when it comes to the emission of harmful gases and the same can be applied to EVs, as the battery of a vehicle can also be responsible for the Land and soil degradation. Now to come into topic is India ready for EVs? I would say it is not.

Firstly, the period for charging an E-Vehicle is longer than other type of vehicles.
Secondly, Charging points are not accessible in remote areas of our nation which may destroy long-ride excitments as well as impact EV Markets.
And finally, our ever-increasing population make it practically harder than refuelling any other type of vehicle.

Let me conclude by saying, that we are still in the early stage of implementation of EVs but not in a stage for full implementation of it in a very large scale.
As the implementation should done slowly but surely, and surely will be ready in the upcoming years.

Hi all,

I want to express My thoughts " Is India ready for electric vehicles are not".

Firstly electric vehicles don't have fuel costs and low maintenance costs. It doesn't emit harmful gases when compared to other types of vehicles but the same is responsible for electric vehicles the battery of electric vehicles affects soil and land degradation.

Now coming to the topic India is ready for electric vehicles are not.

And, I will say no.

Because the period to charge electric vehicles is longer.

Charging ports are not available everywhere it affects long-drive excitement and also impacts ev market.

I want to conclude by saying now India is not ready in a large scale but surely India will run EV's in a large scale.

Hi everyone,

According to me, electric vehicle is needed for everyone because it reduce cost of fuel, avoid noise, and it producted for pollution. So, electric vehicle is good for every people.

NITI AAYOG is mulling over giving a target to state public transporters to deploy a certain percentage of electric vehicles in their new orders, while it will refrain from coming out with a policy on electric vehicles.

As per an estimate, India at present has 1 to 1.5 lakh electric vehicles and it is projected to grow to about 5 per cent of the total vehicles in the next five years. Of the about 24 million vehicles sold in India in 2017-18, electric vehicles accounted for barely about 1 per cent.

Indian govt sets the deadline for all internal combustion engine by 2030.

Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL) and the government has decided to procure electric cars from manufacturers in India and make them available.

Mahindra was already launched e20plus and eVerito in India.
