Is India ready for Electric Vehicles?

India is currently in the 13th position among the world's most polluted cities. Switching to electric vehicles is a step towards green economy. Considering the present situation, it may seem vital but there's still a lot to be done before India gets ready for Electric Vehicles. Firstly, India doesn't have proper infrastructure to facilitate running of electric vehicles. There are very few charging points in India. Secondly, people should be educated about road safety concerning electric vehicles. Lastly, the price of electric vehicles should be lowered as they are not affordable to a common man. All of this will certainly happen in future as Government of India has already started working on it.

In my opinion, India is partially ready for Electric Vehicles. It will take a good amount of 5 to 10 years from now. As the majority of the people in India depends on vehicle run by either petrol or diesel, the transportation economy depends on the use of these vehicles. If we suddenly put pressure on EVs the automobile sector will be adversely affected as we have seen in the recent July 2019 budget where more encouragement was given to the use of EVs by reducing the prices and increasing the price of vehicles run by petrol or diesel. The GDP saw a drastic fall in the automobile sector. This resulted in people losing their jobs, their livelihood, people bought fewer goods which affected the profit of companies, resulting in less wage and lower job creation which again reduced the GDP by a higher rate.

Before getting ready for using EVs we must first change our old system of transportation in a slower but steady pace, drastic change may sometimes backfire. EVs as a whole is a huge revolution. Before manufacturing and encouraging the buying of EVs use must have a proper infrastructure, more charging stations, road safety instructions, etc. People must be properly educated on the advantages of using EVs.

As we know the climate is changing drastically, pollution by vehicles has been one of the major factors in it. As more and more vehicles using petrol and diesel are increasing, pollution is increasing. Cities in India have become polluted to the greatest extent, the Air Index is worst in major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, etc making it unfit to breathe. Air pollution is causing various Respiratory Diseases and in the worst-case Cancer. We must change things in order to save ourselves. Also, petrol and diesel are non-renewable sources of energy. In recent year the natural resources have depleted and are depleting at a faster rate. A time will definitely come when these natural resources will be gone and no further petrol or diesel will be available. EVs are the best possible solution for reducing environmental damage as well as reducing the depletion rate of natural resources.

At last, I would like to conclude that India should get ready for using EVs rapidly keeping the economy as well as the environment in mind. Not only India but the world must be ready for EVs, to give a beautiful and healthy future to the next generation.

Yes, India ready for the electrical vehicle because petrol and diesel are not continue to give for earth and than second options is electrical vehicle use than mane problem fessing for the applimg the India but all kinds off research than do something this side and all the county are allowed to the this side because electricity can ne easily made by resources. Like a wind, hydro, coal and etc.

Hi friends! Coming to the topic, India is ready for electric vehicles we can say yes! Because of today competitive world most of the people moving from one place to another place for their need of survival, so they choose different types vehicals to move. Whether they may have their own vehicles or public transportation. Almost all vehicles are run with oil like petrol, diesel. Etc. Due to the usage of oil is increasing there is a drastic change in the climate. Due to this the ozone layer is deplezing. By using electric vehicles we can control the pollution.

Of course, some of the problems due to battery arises but we can make sure to avoid the problems by taking some measures. Some of the researchers going on that and it can be implemented.

In my view, we are responsible for the environment and we have to save from the pollution.

Thank you.

As my point, in some city of India, the electrical vehicle should be first priority after seeing the environment scenario of such cities like Delhi. Where the pollution is at a peak. So to use an electric vehicle is necessary for such type of city before it going to be so late so we can compensate or manage the environmental issues of such cities. So whatever the cost of infrastructure should be done and have to give first priority to such cities for an electric vehicle. Because all we know that the electric vehicle is does not affect the environment badly and also it does not produce noise pollution. And even the cost of charging the battery will be going to be less conpare to the fuels like diesel and petrol. And in another city of India which not so much polluted there currently electric vehicle is not needed. Because India is a big country and has the second-largest pollution in the world. So the infrastructure of an electric vehicle is going to give a high cost to the government. Because in such type of country if do the change immediately that will give us adverse effect although the electric vehicle is one of the steps to making our country from developing to developed. But it is a step by step process. That should be followed accordingly. And yes after looking at the scenario of GDP growth rate of India currently we can't go for the electric vehicle but yes we have to go for an electric vehicle in such cities where pollution is on the peak. Thank you.

Yes. India is ready for electrical vehicle but only in urban area where power stations are available. As we increases the use of electrical vehicle, more power stations will be established.

In my opinion, we should have to use electrical vehicle instead of using car that run on petrol/diesel to control pollution. Pollutants from vehicle exhaust can affect Global warming and also human health.

I partially agree with what peoples are thinking about electric vehicles. In my opinion, looking to the current situation, India is not ready for electric vehicles over combustion vehicles. Because India is country with huge population and the demand for vehicles is increasing day by day in some metropolitan cities electric buses are now running but there isn't any source of charging stations on roads and for charging purpose they use generators which were driven by diesel which is not expected as they are wasting more money as well as fuel so in my opinion, India is not in position to handle electric vehicles.

Yes, India is ready for the use of electric vehicles but,

For the high heavy load, the application is not working properly right now, the India industry needs to improve its technology in an electric car to carry a heavy load.

Otherwise for the low load condition is the best solution and control the pollution.

The electric vehicle is very useful for us. Because this time petrol and diesel are very costly and remains very few in quantity. It produces smoke in our environment, So I prefer electric vehicles. The electric vehicle has a problem that we have very few charging points. We want a lot of charging points on the main road.

Hi Guys!

In my opinion, India is ready for electric vehicles right now, but in some parts of the country, it's not. We will certainly start using these electric vehicles facility in nearby years in every small and big districts and cities. And it will be a great initiative by govt if this implements in almost every small and big districts and cities.

We are also not ready because as many of the people are not well known or don't know the benefits of these electric vehicles. So they must be taught about this kind of vehicle.

If it happens it will solve the problem of pollution more than half of the total pollution that is by the emission of carbon monoxides and nitrogen oxides and almost a quarter of the hydrocarbons emitted into our air.

Thank you!
