In my opinion, obviously India is ready for electric vehicles because in the present scenario lack amount of diesel, and petroleum it's not enough for the entire country. Otherwise it's causes the pollution and affected the natural resources. So, in my opinion, electrical vehicles have a lot of benefits.

For example, electricity can be option from solar energy, wind energy etc. It's environment friendly.

I think India is not yet ready for electric vehicles because;.

The technology is not still developed and to produce batteries of vehicles lithium is req so India has not have many resources for lithium still we have not built a sufficient amount of charging stations so it would be a very out-of-control situation if people buy 100 e-vehicles and there are only 10 charging stations. We should be ready but it will take time.

In my view, india is still not ready for E-Vehicles. Because rather than to focusing on core cause of pollution, we are just wondering and giving priority to the end result I.e to produce E- vehicles.

It's not like that, here I disagree with all those who said yes. Because see E- vehicles want electricity to charge. Which causes a heavy demand for electricity. And we all know that in India almost 80% of power plants are thermal power plants, which use coal to produce electricity. This pollutes the environment to a far greater extent as compared to the present scenario.

So, first of all, the government should decrease the heavy dependence on electricity from thermal power plants. And then after, our society is ready for the change.

Thank you

India will be ready for electric vehicles or not depends on many factors:

IF WE LOOK FOR AN ECOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE WE NEED ELECTRIC VEHICLES.

So, it helps to reduce pollution emissions and at the global and political level, it helps reduce the dependence of fuel on other nations.

But I want to add one more thing to popularize electric vehicles among Indians we have to strengthen ourselves in electric power stations.

And we should do more research on how we improvised the electric battery so it covers more destinations with less battery usage.

And electric companies also work on the security and safety of an electric vehicle because it works as a hindrance after all people are disturbed when they hear the news that an electric vehicle got a fire.

So, if we work on this, India will be ready for an electric vehicle.

I didn't think that India is ready for electric vehicles as there is a lot of traffic in India so it's difficult to provide the electric vehicle facilities and as well as the cost of electric vehicles is also high as it runs on electricity it is rather costly than petrol, diesel because you not only drive the vehicle with electricity but you may use other vehicle facilities too or else if you go a long drive then it will cost you so much in your bill that comes from the electric car, so until any good scheme with less money on this electric vehicle will launch we must use the regular petrol, diesel-run vehicles only.

Hi friends! Coming to the topic, India is ready for electric vehicles we can say yes! Because of the today competitive world most of people moving from one place to another place for their need of survival, so they choose different types of vehicles 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 increasing usage of oil, there is a drastic change in the climate. Due to this, the ozone layer is depleting. By using electric vehicles we can control 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 pollution.

Thank you.

In my points of view, India is not ready in this time to the produced electric vehicle maybe India will definitely ready to produce EV in the future after 1year or maybe two years due to following reason
1. In this time we have no good infrastructure in the electric station
2. People are no much more interested to electric vehicle like pick up speed, short time driving range, longer rechargeable time
3. Many automobile sectors did not adopt the skim.

Thank you.

To know whether India is ready for electric cars or not people should first know what is electric vehicles. Electric vehicles, unlike conventional petrol and diesel vehicles, use one or more electric motors for propulsion. Electric vehicles have a battery that is charged through an electricity supply. The electric energy is then stored and used to power the electric motor.

According to a report by NITI Aayog,

India can save 64% of anticipated passenger road-based mobility-related energy demand and 37% of carbon emissions in 2030 by pursuing a shared, electric, and connected mobility future.

This would result in a reduction of 156 mega toes in diesel and petrol consumption for that year. At USD 52/bbl of crude, this would imply a net savings of roughly Rs 3.9 lakh crore (approximately 60 billion USD) in 2030. These figures clearly indicate an urgent requirement for the replacement of conventional vehicles with electric vehicles.

While prominent manufacturers such as Maruti Suzuki India, Hero Electric Vehicles, Mahindra and Mahindra are already registered electric manufacturers in India, latest collaborations such as Suzuki and Toyota, are planning to launch electric vehicles in India.

On the same lines, India's first EV manufacturer Mahindra and Mahindra has forged a partnership with Ford to develop electric mobility solutions that are affordable for Indian consumers.

Among the world's 20 most polluted cities in the world, 13 are in India. Vehicular pollution is one of the major contributors to air pollution. India is in a group of countries that has the highest particulate matter (PM) levels. Its cities have the highest levels of PM10 and PM2. 5 (particles with a diameter of 10 microns and 2.5 microns). These figures are six times more than the WHO "safe' limit of 25 micrograms and represent the exigency for Electrical Vehicles.

Electric vehicles are not only Environment Friendly but also Cost Effective as Government is incentivizing the use of Electric Vehicles by providing subsidies and lower motor taxes on EVs. Electric Vehicles are 100 per cent eco-friendly. They do not emit toxic gases or smoke in the environment which leads to global warming and helps to reduce pollution. As electricity is majorly produced from either renewable sources or from sources that emit no greenhouse gases thus EVs help in maintaining energy security by shifting dependence from non-renewable resources to renewable resources. Electric vehicles require less maintenance than conventional vehicles as there are fewer fluids (like oil and transmission fluid) to change and fewer moving parts. Electric vehicles are quieter to operate than gasoline-powered vehicles, leading to a reduction in noise pollution.

So, the answers is YES, India is ready for electric vehicles.

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.

Today's Topic Is India Ready For Electrical Vehicle.

Now, All vehicles run by petrol and Diesel but After 11 years The Fossil fuels are Ends. So Electrical Vehicle is important for every Indian. The main Drawback of this vehicle is The speed of Vehicle is Decareses only speed is 80km to 90km. So now every Indian can understand The Situation and ready For electric vehicle should be Less maintenance, Low pollution, Price is less, Economical. But now all Indians are not ready For Electric vehicles because of Old Vehicles are Wasted so about 5 to 6 years for every Indian can ready for the Electrical Vehicles.
