Is India ready for Electric Vehicles?

I think it will be great initiative but when we think deeply about the electric cars we will find that petrols car are much better the EV because in now situation we are mostly generating energy by thermal power plant and this seems that we are creating pollution because T.P.P runs by coals and gases and this makes pollution. So, as we will use EV then we will consume more energy and get polluted to environment. So it's good to us electric cars but, when we will produce pollution free energy like nuclear power and hydroelectric power because it is in less amount in India.

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.

Yes, according to me, India is ready for electric vehicles. As electric vehicles are expensive. But they have a very low maintenance cost and they don't want any type of conventional fuels (diesel or petrol). And electricity is a very clean source of energy and if one wants he can put a solar cell on his rooftop and then it will be a one-time investment and he can save a lot of money. But there is a flow with electric vehicles that their performance is very low and we do not have any fuel station like the conventional fuel station. So if the govt of India can do something can do anything on this problem then there is a very bright future of electric vehicles in India. And as the use of electric vehicles can lead to decrease the pollution and will fairly reduce the cost of transportation for the common men.

Hi friends.

India is a developing country, and day to day reduce petrol & diesel storage. However, a present life Electric vehicles use will increase & cost will be less. So, India definitely ready for electric vehicles.

Thank you.

No, India is not ready for electric vehicles because the efficiency of these vehicles is less compare to fuel Vehicles. Electric Vehicles are running very slow and a waste of time.

In other words, they are eco-friendly. They can't release any gases, no sound pollution.

If the efficiency of electric Vehicles is increased it very useful in our society.

In my opinion, definitely yes as most of the vehicles produce a bad effect on our environment and sound effect as well.

I completely agree with the fact that they are a little expensive than the other vehicle but as there are many companies like Suzuki, Mahindra are working in it to give us a vehicle at a reasonable rate.

Benefits:

1. Eco freindly.
2. Fuel is cheap compare to petrol, diesel, cng.
3. No sound pollution.
& in future, it must to have that kind of vehicle as it saves a lot of thing from ourself as well as from the environment.

Good evening all of you.

I think my point of view, India is still not ready for electric vehicles because India is still a developing country, not a developed country. There are many other things and factors to be developed in India, for example, there are many villages in India still not getting proper water and electricity. So making a charging station for electric vehicles instead of providing proper electricity to the villages is not appropriate. And also the electric vehicle may run slow and have to charge after some interval of distance travel. So the construction of such number of the electric vehicle charging station is may costly. I know the electric vehicles are eco frindly but we have to charge the electric vehicles so the electricity may consume. And the percentage of electricity and say the share of electricity in India by the thermal power plant is large compare to others. So in thermal power plant because of coal the Nox and so2 formation is there that effect the environment. As nowadays the reuse of flue gases from such power plant may decrease the amount of Nox and so2 gases but I think India has to make a big share of electricity from hydropower plant, wind power plant and nuclear power plant then and then we can think about the electric vehicles. And it takes some more years in India to develop such non-conventional power plant. So I think my point of at this time India is not ready for electric vehicles because to providing electricity to the remote villages is first priority instead of providing an electric charging station for an electric vehicle. Thank you.

As we are knowing that India is a developing country since our childhood. Since electric vehicles have already been adopted by so many developed countries like Us, China so India must also adopt EVs as they are eco-friendly. EVs produces almost negligible noise which is the major concern with other conventional vehicles.

Since EVs donot use any fuel or liquid additives so there is no any chance of changing any parts of it because of the damage produced by the liquid additives. Also EVs have less parts compared to conventional vehicles so time to time maintenance is not required.

Since India is running electric train from long time before which is very much successful step as it is saving lot of fuel and also avoiding the pollution. So why can't India switch to EVs from conventional vehicles.

As we all know that nothing comes with 100 percent assurity so there are some points of concern also associated with EVs as it requires a large number of set up of electric charging unit. Also EVs do not accelerate at a faster rate. One of the major concern of EVs is the development of high power of battery as it requires a lot of time to get charged killing a lot of time.

Yes, I think India is ready for electric vehicles as India is a developing country and unlike other developed countries EV will help India to reduce sound and air pollution. We cannot deny the fact that EV are expensive but according to me its an one time investment as there is low maintenance cost as well as the vehicles do not need diesel/petrol. We have been successfully operating electric trains that have saved us a lot of investment so will EVs would do.

Benefits of electric vehicles:

1) low maintenance cost.
2) reduction in pollution.
3) help save diesel and petrol.

INDIA needs electric vehicles. Though its a very expensive thing but doing this has more advantages than disadvantages.

According to me, yes, the Indian government is ready for EV but it all lies on the people who are gonna by it.

It takes time for them to recognize. As it has good things such as Eco-friendly and less Maintenance but people offer to buy a car that travels fast. And they prefer to be at the time. They need not like wast time in charge.
