Is India ready for 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.

When a country brings an innovation, it usually influences lots of other sectors related to that innovation. Before bringing that innovation the country must prepare that particular sector so that the innovation can be accepted. India is a developing country, a huge amount of people suffer from poverty here, huge amount of rural regions suffer from electricity and transportation problems also. Of course, our country is looking on what matters. The transportation sector is developing, and people are trying hard for a better lifestyle, but still, I think we are not ready for EVs. The cost of its battery is almost 40 to 50 per cent of the vehicle, also due to electricity problems in rural regions, charging is difficult. Most importantly we need proper awareness about pollution to accept the EVs. But also we can't ignore that we are in the initial stage of development in this matter. In present days, India is not ready for EVs, we need a properly developed transportation system, electricity, lifestyle, lithium supply and most importantly, awareness to accept this innovation.

Good morning everyone.

My point of you about this topic;

Electric vehicles have a major role playing future generations because in this scenario more pollution destroys global warming and all places. This pollution causes many diseases like lung and breathing causes. So the lack of population due to pollution destroys every natural resource. They use this opportunity to reduce pollution to save their future generation. These electric vehicles have good speed and smooth functioning. I comparison of petrol cost also reduced from the normal vehicle. New development and new savings for upcoming Scenarios.

The disadvantage is electric vehicles easily get overheated and break or fire comes out causing many issues. They provide better quality for stopping fire-related.

My suggestion is to introduce many places to the charging station is comfortable for all people to fill their charging facilities.

My conclusion is the usage of electric vehicles is good for reducing pollution and stopping the usage of petrol.

As we all know electric vehicles are environment friendly they are not releasing any kind of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane. According to me, India is ready for electric vehicles because we have seen the demand for electric vehicles increasing year on year and at the same time electric vehicles are also providing them with good features. And I recently read one article in a business standard newspaper which states that companies are also making efforts to increase their efforts towards electric vehicle production. Some names of the companies like.

Maruti Suzuki has a plan to become the biggest electric vehicle producer in all of India including both cars as well as two-wheeler vehicles.

TATA Motors is also planning to separate its entities into two forms or two entities in which one is liable for producing the electric vehicle and the other is liable for producing the fuel vehicle.

So, we can say that India is ready for such tremendous change which also helps our environment.

Hi everyone,

I would like to share my opinion on this topic. I believe that India is ready for electric vehicles (EVs) and is, in fact, gradually adopting them. The Government of India is actively encouraging the use of EVs. In support of this, it has set a target of achieving a 30% EV adoption rate and has introduced policies like FAME I and FAME II (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles), which reflect the government's interest in promoting EV usage.

EVs come with their own set of benefits and challenges.

Benefits:
1. Reduced pollution.
2. Cost-effective in the long run.
3. Helps in reducing global warming.

Challenges:

1. Limited charging stations.
2. Lack of portable power banks for EVs.
3. Underdeveloped infrastructure.
4. Low public awareness.

In conclusion, I believe India is indeed ready for EVs. However, certain efforts are still needed to improve the infrastructure and raise awareness among people about the benefits and feasibility of electric vehicles.

I would like to share my opinion on this topic.

I think India is moving in the right direction towards electric vehicles. But we are not ready fully yet.

The government is supporting EVs with schemes and subsidies, and companies like Tata and Ola, are producing more electric vehicles. EVs are better for the environment because they reduce pollution and greenhouse emissions, which is very important for India's population and traffic. The EV industry can also create new jobs in manufacturing, battery production and infrastructure.
So, it contributes to economic growth as well. However, the main challenges are a lack of charging stations and high prices. If we improve infrastructure and raise awareness among people. EVs can become more practical and affordable for everyone. Overall, India is on the right path, but we need more planning and efforts from both the government and citizens, and I believe that with proper steps, electric vehicles can play a major role in India's future transportation.

Hi, Myself Sagnik Roy, and I am from Kolkata.

For this topic about the electric vehicle I would like to say that yeah it is a good solution against fuel shortage or fuel based vehicles and according to this modern world it will be really helpful for many people who love cars etc but the mileage of that car is not acceptable but is our country ready for this upgradation. I would say yes because in our country there a lot of metropolitan cities where already many electric stations are installed but one thing I think we need to keep in mind that how the electricity comes that matters most because how we are gonna make electricity effects that how much we can afford or produce EV. And one point I would like to add is that still in our country there are lots of areas where the environment is not fully ready for this EV. There we can't get any station for charging which is why I think we need some time to be fully ready for EV.

That's all from my side, Thank you!

I don't think that India is ready as of now. To reach to this kind of development, it will at the very minimum take 10 years. There are certain points which I need to put to prove this point. India is a kind of country where people don't easily get into the habit of attempting something out of league. Here perception of people around us matter more. The fall of Nano is a very good example of this. Its not about a vehicle, its about owning a status symbol.

The second thing is that EVs have had a pretty bad public perception owing to the poor initial impressions and performance of the EVs which have till now been introduced in India.

The third major concern is the absence of the EV infrastructure. India is a vast country. To set up the kind of infrastructure required for supporting the EVs on road will definitely take time.

And with these factors in mind there are very less chances that Indian EV market will attract the Carmakers to take this kind of risk.

Hi Everyone, though I feel their is a big need for India to move on to Electric Vehicles it is not at all the right time I feel. If u ask their is a need ? Yes. Is India Ready? No. Why?

1. Do we have enough power stations with enough capacity to charge these vehicles if we replace fuel driven ones by the ones powered by electricity ?

2. Can we use electricity that much without running out of it ? If India is able to properly make electricity out of renewable sources, Yes we can. But for that we have to first work on developing Electricity generation economically, viable and easily through renewable sources first.

3. Are the electric vehicles ready for the Indian customers ? I don't think so.

Recently I have heard my friends and colleague's continuously complaining on how their is a need to repair or do some kind of work on the electric vehicles on a very frequently basis to make that machine work the way it is supposed to be.

I agree with this point that India is ready for electric vehicles because We know that vehicles using petrol and diesel release the co2 gas which is harmful for the environment and being the most populous country in the world India demands a huge number of vehicles. Using petrol and diesel creates a devastating effect on the environment and therefore, the Indian government taking steps to increase the production of EV Vehicles, Moreover, The Govt is also taking steps to encourage people to use EV Vehicles because they won't affect our environment.

Adding to this, The Govt already built EV Vehicle charging stations across every city and highway so that the journey of people can not be stop whoever using EV vehicles. The cost of EV Vehicles is also going down and a large number of people already took part in this step of saving the environment.

Overall, India is ready for this shift and making progress towards electric vehicles.
