Is India ready for Electric Vehicles?

If we see, the culture of electric vehicles is growing day by day all over the world. But if we talk about the trend of electric vehicles in India, So as per my opinion the Country is not fully ready for this trend (changes) at present,

There are many of the reasons behind it, Such as;

1) The condition of the roads in our country, No Doubt the development in our country is going with the best of it's that it could be. But the thing is that at present most of the parts of the country is been untouched by development.
2) The reliability of the people on the cheap products, irrespective of the loss to the environment.
3) The loss of awareness among the people about the benefit of replacing vehicles running on petrol and diesel with electric vehicles.

Hello all,

I would like to put my thoughts here by stating that we are not 100% ready to go all-electric. Various reasons are that people really enjoy driving petrol and diesel engines because it is affordable and also much easier to maintain. If India has to go all-electric there should be more awareness of how E vehicles could be a value add to the environment as well. Now, let us talk about the pricing of electric vehicles they are priced much higher than a normal petrol/ diesel engine. The cost of the battery is 40 to 50% of the vehicle cost which makes it even more expensive to maintain it.

We should work on infrastructure, Supply chain on how to manufacture and sell it at affordable prices, ease of use, and convenience of battery charging plants last. We are in the beginning of an era of EVs but this will take much longer than we can ever imagine.

In India we have a large population, so we want more electrical energy to launch EV vehicles. But some companies like Tata and Mahindra companies are launched their EV cars in India. Even though, the people are in India are not quite interested to buy the EV vehicles, because of lack of EV infrastructure, and we need a charging system and also storing an electric energy is not a easy one, it it very tough thing.

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.

India is in preparation stage of Electric vehicles. Significant research is going on in India regarding Electric Vehicle. Many automobile companies such as Mahindra, and Tata have launched EV cars and trucks as well. But we are still completely not ready because of the lack of EV infrastructure. We need more charging. Nothing significant has been done in this regard. Another thing is storing electrical energy is a very tough challenge. Research is going on but nothing much has come out yet.

Good morning everyone;.

I think that India wants pollution free country this will happen only when we reduce the consumption of cured oils like petrol, diesel, etc.

Some fossil fuels which impact our nation with soil pollution, air pollution, water pollution. Due to this they are so many disease was impact our upcoming generation especially toddlers. So when we use electric vehicles we see India has a pollution free country. On other hand, the cost EC vehicles is expensive compared the fossil vehicles but we importunate the EC vehicles fro other country instead of this the EC vehicles was made of lithium so in India the lithium metal is found that in jammu&kashmir state so in India the car company like Tesla, Tata was trying to reduce the cost of the EC vehicles so that everyone should buy a EC vehicles at their affordable range.

Hope that we see India with electric vehicles.

I think India is not ready for EVs. EV takes 8hr of charging depending upon the model. As our population is high, there are not enough charging points (infrastructure) to charge our EVs on top of that it takes more time (conventional vehicles take 2-3 min of refueling). We can install charging points for our cars in our parking area but it will cost more money and not everyone has their parking.

As our technology is developing, charging time will be less in the coming times. At that time India may be ready for EVs.

Hello, everyone! this is Aakash.

According to me, India is not ready for electric vehicles, because there are many areas where there is a power cut for many hours in that situation how can a person ready for EV?

Secondly, EV prices cannot be afforded by everyone, due to low income, and EV price range is high.

To bring EV, country should have good infrastructure, charging points and good roads so that the battery can have good life.

Hey.

Very Good Evening Everyone.

In my point of view, India was not ready for electric vehicles because it was the initial stage of the electric vehicle. In India, there are rural areas where still power cut happens and there are no charging sections for electric vehicles. For these reasons, I think that India was not ready for electric vehicles for the next 3 or 4 years.

But yeah electric vehicles reduces the sound pollution and as well as air pollution.
