Hello Everyone,

I would like to add some points here as to why India is not ready for electric vehicles right now.

First of all, India is a developing country so, we still don't have a highly developed infrastructure, especially in rural areas, and second thing is that it needs gas stations which are quite a few.

The next point is that the Indian middle-class economy still does not support price vehicles even though we know that it would be a one-time investment. So, it is still a long way to go in India to introduce electric vehicles to a large population. But I am pretty sure using electric vehicles in India will add value to sustainable development.

Yes, India is ready for electric vehicles, because people are slowly switching towards electric vehicles and electric vehicles are very good for the environment. The electric vehicle companies are also switched to the very best development of the battery and all as well as they increase the power efficiency that can run the less time and cover the distance as well and they're developing the HEV.

The government also planning to run the electric vehicles as well as possible. They also do the advertisement and awareness as well.

Good evening all,

In my opinion, EVs are good for developing countries like India, but Indians need more confidence when buying items. Therefore, If EVs have alternative solutions, everyone will like them.

What is that?
EVs should be manufactured with battery and petrol facilities. Everyone likes them, so there is a chance to increase sales. According to Indian psychology, confidence is more important than cost.

I think India need a high performance electric vehicles as here in India vehicles having off-road feature is very essential, as we all are aware of roads here. So, I think we just not need a simple electric vehicle but at the same time, we need an e-car not to show off other. We need it to make our life reliable.

According to me, India is not ready for EV because they think that it is a game and use it in a bad way. They drive fast, waste petrol and diesel, create pollution, create an accident, doing traffic jam, and waste people's time who are going to job. So people are not ready for it.

If it is used in the right way, then it will be helpful.

The country is not ready for an electric vehicle as in India people don't have proper space to walk on roads where the govt will build the charging stations?

As it takes 5-6 hours of charging for the long distance of travelling it would be much wastage of time. This project for India is on the thinking stage the implementation could take more 10-15years.

In my perspective, I really think India could succeed in bringing electric vehicles onto Indian roads, the electric vehicles are the best compared to combustion vehicles and the EV vehicles will not pollute the environment. The main issue here is the sale of combustion vehicles is not at all reducing when the mindset of the people changes only they will buy the EV vehicles until then they will not buy them. I want to mention another point is that the government should tie up with big MNCs and launch EV vehicles in affordable prices and everyone should aware of this also there should be more charging stations.

Points to be noted:

1. Electric vehicles are affordable.
2. More charging stations.
3. And due to the increase in the usage of EV vehicles the generation of electricity should be increased.

Good evening everyone.

In my point of view, for the topic of whether India is ready for EVs or not is that India is not ready the complete transition from fossil fuel vehicles to EVs. The reason is that India doesn't have the infrastructure for manufacturing EV cars. As India majorly depends upon the import of Lithium. Secondly, EVs also need energy to recharge Nowadays, India is facing scarcity of electricity. These are some major problems that India has to overcome.

To know whether India is ready for EVs or not, people should first understand what EVs are. Unlike conventional petrol or diesel vehicles, EVs use one or more electric motors for propulsion. EVs have a battery that is charged through an electricity supply.

EVs are not only "Environmentally friendly" but also "Cost-Effective" as the Government of India incentivizing the use of EVs by providing subsidies and lower motor taxes on EVs.

However, we also cannot ignore that electric charging stations are not available everywhere in India except for some metropolitan cities like Delhi, Mumbai, etc. For this reason, they are not suitable for long-distance travel.

Conclusion:
EVs in India are still in the developing stage, and the government, as well as the original equipment manufacturers (automotive industry) , are promoting them to create an eco-friendly environment and cost-effective journeys for passengers.
