Is India ready for Electric Vehicles?

Hi everyone,

In my opinion, Yes India is ready for electric vehicles. As we know that India is a developing country and we must think that no one can do perfectly in their initiative time. There is some obstacle which is face by each country at their initiation. So thinking that India is not ready for an electric vehicle is not good. I think India should implement this strategy with the specific plan so that they can handle every obstacle with the execution of strategy. Now a day we can see that many people are using an electric vehicle which increases growth rate as well as decrease the pollution of India.

So, Yes, India should ready for it and all the future growth.

Hello everyone,

Friends India must need the electric vehicle according to India's pollution scenario, but this the truth that India is not ready for the EV as parameter or requirement should be.

Because EV require heavy management to run well across the county, and according to other country India has not prepared the future layouts, like service point, charging stations etc.

So friends in this time India only can bear this if EV becomes with tremendously technical changes according to DEMAND-DESIRE & DREAMS.

So conclusion is:.

Concern- Ev SERVICE POINTS, TECHNICIANS, REFILLING STATIONS, REFILLING TIME, POWER, SPEED, EFFECTIVENESS,

Cause- LACK OF GOVT AWARENESS, LACK OF TECHNICAL TERM AS ASPECTIONS.

Correction- NEED MORE RESEARCH, NEED TO PAY ATTENTION BY GOV & AUTOMOTIVE DIVISION.

Hello everyone,

Yes, India is ready for electric vehcile use. Government is promoting the use of electric vehicles in India by giving subsidy and lower tax. It gives guideline to company to produce electric vehicles in India by giving some rebate. Telsa is planning to launch electrical vehicle in India by 2022. It is one of the best intitiative of government to make pollution free environment. Electrical vehical is also cost effective less maintainence requirement. Already in India e rickshaw is surpassing the diesel/petrol auto and most of the buses in metro cities are using electrical vchicles and electrification of training is also taking place in India. So, yes India is taking step towards electrification of vehicles.

Hi, My name is Ritika Agrawal.

The topic given to us for the discussion is "IS INDIA READY FOR EVs".

In my viewpoint, it is a topic of current relevance and It's a big yes that India is ready for electric vehicles.

EV cars include lower running costs, environmental benefits, and reduced dependence on foreign oil.

Some insurance companies offer special EV car insurance policies that provide coverage for battery damage. It also offers add-on covers such as personal accident cover and third-party liability cover.

The government of India has also introduced the income tax section 80EEB to provide tax incentives to electric car buyers. Electric car buyers are entitled to tax exemptions up to 1.5 lakhs on the loan amount.

Our India being an emerging country is adopting an EV car as a primary source of transportation.

Hello everyone.

In my point of view, India is not completely ready for EV. In India we have a large population, so we need more electric energy. And we don't have sufficient electric charging infrastructure. Companies like Tata and Mahendra have launched EV vehicles, but still, people are not ready to buy EV vehicles they are choosing petrol and diesel vehicles because of their affordable prices. Therefore, first, we have to overcome these stages and then we can take the NextStep.

India is currently in the 13th position among the world's most polluted cities. Switching to electric vehicles is a step towards green economy. Considering the present situation, it may seem vital but there's still a lot to be done before India gets ready for Electric Vehicles. Firstly, India doesn't have proper infrastructure to facilitate running of electric vehicles. There are very few charging points in India. Secondly, people should be educated about road safety concerning electric vehicles. Lastly, the price of electric vehicles should be lowered as they are not affordable to a common man. All of this will certainly happen in future as Government of India has already started working on it.

I partially agree with what peoples are thinking about electric vehicles. In my opinion, looking to the current situation, India is not ready for electric vehicles over combustion vehicles. Because India is country with huge population and the demand for vehicles is increasing day by day in some metropolitan cities electric buses are now running but there isn't any source of charging stations on roads and for charging purpose they use generators which were driven by diesel which is not expected as they are wasting more money as well as fuel so in my opinion, India is not in position to handle electric vehicles.

Hi,

We all know that India is a Developing country and nowadays, India is more focusing on Technology. E-vehicle helps in reducing pollution and also saves petrol and diesel which is expensive and scarce. For the implementation of Electronic Vehicle, There is a need to set a Charging station every where which requires a huge Infrastructure. Also, It requires a huge cost for developing this station. So before Implementation of E vehicle, India should develop a full-fledged strategy to make it successful.

Hello Everyone.

India has a great future in the field of Electric vehicles but I don't think we are completely ready now. Recently India discovered 5.9 million tonnes of lithium in Jammu and Kashmir but having lithium and using lithium both are different things. We need a proper infrastructure for making lithium batteries but we have only one infrastructure that is yet to be completed we also need infrastructure for recycling lithium-ion batteries, and skilled labour for making these batteries. In spite of having less lithium compared to some other countries, China is not one in order to produce lithium-ion batteries, so the question is, how could China achieve this? The simple answer is because of the infrastructure and skilled labour China has.

If we want to become ready for EVs we have to work on infrastructure and have to develop expertise in order to produce lithium-ion battery in India.

No, it's not.

Although electric vehicles are 100 percent eco friendly. They do not emit any harmful gas and is good for environment. It reduces pollution. It is a good idea to introduce electric vehicles in India but India is not ready for this major change and there are many reasons regarding this.

First of all, electric vehicles need large charging stations which is difficult to build at every place of the country. Building charging stations need a lot of space, in India, even now many people don't have a safe place to live so our government should for this cause first. Second reason is that for every 200 km electric vehicles require 5 to 6 hours of charging. So for traveling long distances electric vehicles are not preferred. Even it's speed is also not so high. And if someone is getting late than they will surely not prefer this. Even many areas of our country are still not so developed. They do not have proper electricity supply, in that case charging of vehicle will be a major issue.

So, before installing electric vehicles there is a lot to be done. Only then we can say that India is fully ready for electric vehicles.

Thank you.
