Greetings to Everyone,

With reference to the topic that is "Is India ready for Electric Vehicles ".

From my point of view, I think now India is not ready for Electric Vehicles because we don't have the infrastructure of EV's which is needed, like EV charging stations. Also we need to change the Mindset of the peoples who is preferring more, Conventional vehicle rather than electric Vehicles.

My suggestion is government should give subsidies in Electric Vehicle which can encourage the peoples to buy the EV's.

Also, I think government should lower the export tax on EV's let's take an example.

About 18% of export tax are applied on Tesla car of worth Rs. 50 - 70 lakh which is not affordable at all.

Also, I think government should more focus on "Electric vehicles Manufacturing Sector" more by doing this their will no export tax and the vehicle can be affordable for the user.

Hello Everyone.
My Name is Sandeep Kaur, I am going to present my point of view as No India is not ready for Electric Vehicles:

1. There is a lack of charging stations.
2. The cost of Evehicles is very high as compared to simple vehicles
3. many rural areas don't have much electricity
4. E vehicles are not good for long journeys as after full charge it cannot go long.
5. Indian roads are not very good for using these vehicles.
6. there are more chances of a blast of the battery and the possibility of firing.
7. Export taxes are higher in the case of Electric Vehicles.

Whether Evehicles are too costly but still, it has advantages as well.

1. It is best for preventing pollution which is done by fuel vehicles.
2. As it uses electricity so no need to use petrol.

So overall I want to conclude that if India wants to adopt it then they should focus on advancements of the infrastructure required as charging stations, roadways, long battery life etc. If India will make advancements in infrastructure and reduce the cost of electric vehicles then we can say that India is ready in future.

As we accept that today the price of petrol and pollution increase day by day but the mileage and power give to the engine only by petrol. Which is not given by electric vehicles. Today petrol pump available every where and takes very short time to fill petrol tank of the vehicle. But electric vehicles takes lots of time to recharge. Some time it's seen that electric vehicle are fail to pick more than 6 people due to bad engin quality. And the speed of electric vehicles also a problem for those who want to reach their destination very soon. Now most of the people prefare petrol vehicle rather than EV.

The main thing for EV to educate ourselves first regarding the use of EV.

We should use EVs in eco mode and charge batteries at least after use of 80 per cent. The road infrastructure should play an important role in the long life of batteries and the life of vehicles daily commuters use EV to save the environment which we need of us on a priority basis.

Hello, everyone, this is Anil.

Today my topic is whether India is ready for electrical vehicles.

In my opinion yes. India is still a developing country so we want to apply this electrical vehicle there are lots of advantages to E-vehicles.

It may reduce pollution Even the rate of petrol become too high in that situation we need to follow this e-vehicles. But one another major disadvantage is there in India there are only 10 Charing stations. If we try to produce the batteries lithium is required for that in India there is not much more amount lithium. Finally in my opinion, yes if India is ready for the e-vehicles it is a good sign for us.

Hello everyone.

Today's topic is India ready for electric vehicles or not.

In my point of view, now India is ready for all new technology like EV, but with some conditions.

Due to increase in pollution and fuel cost we should going towards Ev. Electric vehicles produces negligible pollution and also the weight of Ev is lighter than petrol or diesel operated vehicle. But it is also connected to fuel (coal) for producing electricity for charging of lithium batteries, because in India there is no sufficient amount of renewable energy for charging batteries. Apart from this, in India there is only few EV charging station, So there is one more problem waiting in line for long time to charging EV.

So, finally we can say that India is ready for Ev if production of renewable.

Good evening everyone,

To say if India is ready for EVs or not, to answer this let's ask if any country is prepared for EVs or not, this is more suitable according to most of the surveys and charts we are still dependent on fossil fuels for most part of electricity generation which we need in charging the EV's battery and many other natural resources which are being used in the manufacturing of batteries and whole process of manufacturing of EV, whether it be directly or indirectly, all EV nowadays to say if any country is ready for EV the answer will be no let alone India no doubt our government is working hard to achieve such a noble cause in the reduction of pollution but as of now the actual work is not even started as per the vision of all the upcoming goals there's no doubt we are also working on the sector to reduce the use of fossil fuels but there is no good results globally, as of now any country is not able to reduce the amount of fossil fuel we use in electricity generation but instead it as only grown since last few decades but still there is a hope if not by 2030 then by 2040 we will not just be ready but will be seeing future of EV globally.

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.

Hello everyone.

From my point of view, Yes, India is ready to embrace electric vehicles As our government is working on it and promoting EV vehicles in the country.
Yeah, its Expansion comes with more challenges like its charging station and something related to this which will be a bit costly as compared to petrol Diesel vehicles.

We need to increase the charging stations in all cities as also government are providing charging stations to all cities like Pune, Maharastra and some cities are developing but we need to work in every city And especially we need to focus on Rural areas which are a little bit challenging but not difficult. Indian govt. Should promote EV vehicles as much as possible soon India will adopt this culture and will be the top country among all.

That's all. Thanks

Among the world's 20 most polluted cities, India is in 13th position.

So we have to use the Electric Vehicles to change this.

Electric Vehicles are 100 per cent eco-friendly. They do not emit toxic gases or smoke in the environment which leads to global warming and helps to reduce pollution. It requires less maintenance than conventional vehicles as there are fewer fluids to change and fewer moving parts.
