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.

According to my view, point some somewhere it has some advantages or disadvantages.

Advantages.

1) it is eco-friendly:- as we know the Situation of Delhi what's the level of pollution is there.
2) It is a one-time investment:- As we know the cost of Petrol every day the price of petrol is increasing so it is like a one-time investment.

Disadvantages.

1) A charging station is not available everywhere.
2) It is not for long distances.
3) Speed is not as compared to normal bikes.
4) Heating issues as we know the situation of Ola scooties.
5) Costly affair: It is costly not everyone easily gets it.

In conclusion, India is still not fit for EVs.

Hi all;

In my point view, electric vehicles are very useful for today's life and also good for our environment because that does not create air pollution but electric vehicle's cost is very high so when people don't have more money they can't buy the vehicles. That is only the appointment of electric vehicles price and also sometimes electric vehicles could be not safe because suddenly burn to fire electric vehicles. I say electric vehicles are safe for our world but not safe for humans in some time.

Thank you.

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.

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.

Hello everyone.

In my point of view, India is not ready for Electrical Vehicles. Because of the following reasons.

1. Electrical Vichles cost are very expensive.
2. Charging stations are not available in rural areas.
3. India is a developing country, hence roads here are not suitable for Electric vehicles.
4. We can not travel long distances, it is a major drawback thereof.

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.

Hello everyone, I am Sanchita Dwivedi.

I believe India is not fully ready for electric vehicles yet. Being a developing country, India still needs to make several improvements, such as upgrading infrastructure, modifying roads, and installing more charging stations. Although efforts are being made, it will take time for widespread adoption.

While electric vehicles (EVs) are eco-friendly, they are still quite expensive. However, it's important to note that they are a one-time investment; after that, the running cost is significantly lower, contributing to both sustainable development and reducing pollution.

On the positive side, more people are starting to use EVs, and the sales of electric vehicles in India are steadily increasing, which is a promising sign for the future.

India is not ready for Electric vehicles because of many reasons:
1. There is a lack of charging stations in INDIA.
2. Indian roads are not too good for using E-vehicles.
3. Export taxes are higher in the case of E-vehicles

However, on the other side, there are also few chances of adopting these Electric vehicles in INDIA as the current rate of growth of EV sales shows that INDIA is projected to witness sales of 5 crore EVs by FY 2030.

Hello Everyone.
My Name is Sandeep Kaur, I am going to present my point of view as No India is not ready for Electric Vehicles:

1. There is a lack of charging stations.
2. The cost of Evehicles is very high as compared to simple vehicles
3. many rural areas don't have much electricity
4. E vehicles are not good for long journeys as after full charge it cannot go long.
5. Indian roads are not very good for using these vehicles.
6. there are more chances of a blast of the battery and the possibility of firing.
7. Export taxes are higher in the case of Electric Vehicles.

Whether Evehicles are too costly but still, it has advantages as well.

1. It is best for preventing pollution which is done by fuel vehicles.
2. As it uses electricity so no need to use petrol.

So overall I want to conclude that if India wants to adopt it then they should focus on advancements of the infrastructure required as charging stations, roadways, long battery life etc. If India will make advancements in infrastructure and reduce the cost of electric vehicles then we can say that India is ready in future.
