Is India ready for Electric Vehicles?

Friends as we all know our today's topic is ' Is India ready for electrical vehicle'. In my opinion yes India is ready because in various cities of India like Delhi, Mumbai, Patna, Chennai, Kolkata etc the quality of air becoming noxious day by day due to which common people are suffering from different respiratory disease. Polluted air causes irritation in eyes, redness in eyes, sore throat, affect the digestive system, affect lungs and it is very dangerous for Sugar, BP and Asthma patients by the use of electric vehicle we can control the air pollution and can decrease our dependency on Fossil fuels like coal, petroleum and other petroleum products.

Good Afternoon all. I'm Debasish.

Today I'm going to keep my consent about whether India is ready for Electric vehicles or not.

In my opinion, it's Yes. Because Nowadays, India is a developing country and India is eligible for accepting new technologies. Due to petrol and diesel vehicles, pollution levels are increasing continuously in India. To overcome this problem, Electric Vehicle is a good choice. E-Vehicles don't need any fuel because it'll be managed by a lithium battery.

So, finally from the side yes for this case.

Thank you.

Hello everyone.

Today's topic is electric vehicles.

Electric vehicles are introduced due to increasing global emissions in the world. Electric vehicles are necessary as it decrease pollution and it is affordable to buy for everyone and due to electric vehicles, petrol prices are also reduced in the country. India is yet not ready to produce electric vehicles because to produce electric vehicles the main component is the battery which is made up of lithium and China is the largest producer of lithium. So, first of all, India depends on China for this and India also needs to make power stations to charge EVs which incurs huge costs.

In my point of view " INDIA IS READY FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES ".

So, Indian roads are currently dominated by petrol and diesel cars and bikes.

And only one percentage of total vehicles sale in India is electric out of which more than 90% of electric vehicles on India roads are slow speed electric scooter.

But the Indian Government and manufacturer or ambises.

Worldest leading car manufacture TESLA is also planning to launch electric cars in India soon.

And they started to develop the infrastructure like charging infrastructure development across cities and highways.

Highlightly and many companies are going to collaborate the investment for expanding charging networks.

And they going to intractive and increase awareness among customers about the benefits of electric vehicle.

One of the main components of EVS lithium which is not easily available in the world.

As per the report, India is depend on the import for EVS from Australia and South America.

But our in February as per the minister of mines more than 5.9 million times of lithium is founded in Jammu and Kashmir.

So, India is ready to showcase there electric vehicle in upcoming years.

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.

Good afternoon all, I think this is very interesting and crucial topic of today's time.

So, I would like my thought in this regard in the best possible way.

In my point of view, yes it is very necessary to accept electric vehicles and India is also ready for accepting it. As we know, day by day pollution and climate change is increasing which constantly putting threats to our upcoming generation and us as well.

So, it is a good practice to foster electric vehicles and the government is very actively participating in it by launching many schemes like providing subsidies for EV users and many other things. Also, one more benefit is adding in India's favour that there is some location found in India where large lithium reserves have been found. But, currently, there are some challenges that need to deal with like, a very less number of charging stations are there.

Thank you.

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.

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.

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.

1. Current Infrastructure Challenges:
Lack of Charging Stations: As you mentioned, there is a need for a comprehensive network of EV charging stations. Without adequate charging infrastructure, the adoption of EVs will be limited to urban areas, where charging stations are more likely to be found. Rural areas, where power supply is inconsistent, would struggle even more with EV adoption.

Electricity Access and Reliability: In many parts of India, especially in villages, there is a lack of reliable electricity and water supply. Before EVs can become a priority, these basic needs must be met. If people do not have access to consistent electricity for their daily needs, expecting them to adopt EVs is unrealistic.

2. Environmental Impact and Energy Production:
Green Energy Misconception: There is a common perception that EVs are inherently "green. " However, the environmental benefits of EVs depend on the source of electricity used to charge them. If the electricity comes from coal or other non-renewable sources, the overall environmental impact may not be as positive as expected.

Energy Production Sources: You correctly point out that a significant portion of India’s electricity is generated from burning coal and other fossil fuels, which contributes to pollution and environmental degradation. For EVs to be truly green, the electricity used to power them should ideally come from renewable sources like wind, solar, or hydroelectric power.

3. Focus on Basic Needs and Infrastructure Development:
Addressing Poverty and Basic Amenities: You argue that the government should prioritize basic amenities like electricity, clean water, and poverty alleviation before focusing on EV adoption. This is a valid point because sustainable development must include improvements in the quality of life for all citizens, especially those in rural and underserved areas.

4. Renewable Energy Investments:
Scaling Renewable Energy: While renewable energy sources like wind and solar are cleaner alternatives, they currently contribute a small percentage to the total energy mix. The government needs to invest more in scaling up renewable energy projects to ensure a sustainable and green future, which would, in turn, support the adoption of EVs.
