Introduction:-

Reiterating its commitment to the Paris Agreement, the Government of India has plans to make a major shift to electric vehicles by 2030

E-commerce companies, Indian car manufacturers like Reva Electric Car Company (RECC), and Indian app-based transportation network companies like Ola are working on making electric cars more common over the next two decades

Industry associations

·         Society of Manufacturers of Electric Vehicles (SMEV)

·         Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design

The electric cars available in India are :

·         Hyundai Kona Electric

·         Mahindra e-Verito

·         Mahindra e2o

·         MG ZS EV

·         Tata Tigor EV 2019

·         Tata Nexon EV 2020

Highest Range

The Hyundai Kona electric has the highest range of 452 km in a single charge among the electric cars available in India.

Motorcycles

The following companies have launched electric motorcycles in India:

Revolt Motors  

Tork Motors (to be launched)

Emflux Motors (to be launched)

Ultraviolette Automotive

Ather Energy

As a member country of UNO, India has committed on the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to shift to Electric vehicles by 2030.
 India houses 13 out of the 20 most polluted cities in the world [1].
 Indian auto industry is the 4th largest in the world next to China, USA,and Japan[2]
 India is the biggest importer of crude oil and transport sector the major consumer.[3].
 India is surplus in electricity generation since 2015.
Therefore India has to make rapid shift from ICE vehicles (Internal Combustion Engine vehicles that operate on Diesel and Petrol) to EV(Electric Vehicles).
The predominant reasons ushering the transition to Electric Vehicles (EV) are:
 To reduce the crude oil imports and dependence on fossil fuels.
 To provide cost effective transportation in the long run
 To reduce air pollution & noise pollution and create a clean environment.
 To tap the global opportunity in EV market.
 To facilitate growth and manufacturing capacity in the sunrise sector
 To utilise the skilled manpower in the manufacturing automobile sector
 To identify green and cheaper energy sources

 SETTING UP PUBLIC CHARGE POINTS FOR EVS:
 Setting up public charging stations have been de-licensed by the Central Government
 Govt. has prescribed one charge station for every 3 kms X 3 kms radius and every 25 kms on either side of a Highway
 Residential and Commercial buildings should provide EV charging infrastructure.
The transition from ICE vehicles to EVs largely depends upon the development of the charging infrastructure. Several private players and manufacturers are already into the market. The investment in the facility on the other hand depends on the potential for the EVs in the market.
