Scope of electric vehicles in India 2023 Updated

Pollution and emission of harmful gases have emerged as a huge problem of our planet in recent years. We need solutions to combat these immense problems in order to protect our generations from getting haunted by scarce limited resources. Currently, no country is able to get its hands on fresh air. The lack of fresh and clean air is making the world need eco-friendly solutions. It is a commendable fact that people too are turning towards using environment-friendly products. These products use natural resources and are renewable causing no harm to the ecosystem. The world has begun opting for green products. 

India has been facing the problems of pollution and hazardous air for a long time. Since India is an agricultural country, it is also rapidly developing its industrial power. The industries emit smoke and waste that prove harmful to the environment. Sometimes, agricultural waste is burnt which is responsible for air pollution in the country. India ranks among the most polluted countries. India is also using environment-friendly solutions. People are using electric vehicles in India to protect the environment. These vehicles run on electricity and are of no harm to nature. 

Electric vehicles are composed of one or more electric motors. They use traction motors for propulsion. These vehicles are powered through a collector system by electricity from other electric sources. Electric vehicles or EVs are decorated with in-built batteries, solar panels, or electric generators. These things help the vehicles to charge by converting fuel to electricity. The vehicles can also be charged using solar panels and other renewable and natural sources of energy which is not harmful to nature. Electric vehicles are not only limited to road transport, but trains and aircraft are also using the latest technology. 

People in India are actively turning towards using electric vehicles. These are affordable and easy to use. Being light-weighted, these vehicles are easy to balance and can be used by old people as well. To combat pollution issues, India advocated the use of electric vehicles in 2013 under the ‘National Electric Mobility Mission Plan 2020’. The Government of India is also planning to use the maximum number of electric vehicles in the country by 2030 as agreed in the Paris Agreement. The Plan 2020 will tackle the problems of National energy security, pollution emission through vehicles and growth of domestic manufacturing capabilities. 

India’s shift towards electric vehicles is significant for achieving environmental sustenance.  Many car manufacturing companies, including Reva Electric Car Company, and Ola have ensured making electric cars more common in a couple of decades. On the other hand, the Indian Government has established a joint venture of all the PSUs of the Ministry of Power entitled Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL). EESL is wholly responsible for the procurement and sale of Electric vehicles in India. It keeps a track of all the vehicles running on the Indian roads. Thus, their maintenance of these vehicles is also recorded for statistical analysis and to make improvements.

India is a country with a vast population and immense traffic problems. There is a very vast scope of electric vehicles in India in the next few years. The use of these vehicles will be enhanced in the coming years. The upcoming generations will entirely be dependent on these electric vehicles only. Electric vehicles are emerging in the market and replacing the conventional ones. These have a number of benefits, but there are some of the advantages and advancements of electric vehicles which will help India to create a sustainable environment.

Electric Cars in India: Mahindra & Mahindra brought its first Electric Car in India in March 2013. It launched electric e20 in 2013 at affordable prices. Now, it has come up with numerous vehicles that run on electricity. It has launched the sedan eVerito, the commercial vehicle eSupro which is electric. Mahindra Electric’s Treo range has three-wheelers running on lithium-ion batteries. Recently, Mahindra & Mahindra has bagged the title of being the first Indian car manufacturer to cross 170 million eKilometres. Soon, there will be all three-wheelers on roads that will use electricity as fuel.

Electric bikes in India: There will be a number of manufacturers launching their electric two-wheelers in India in the next few years. Out of them, Revolt RV 400, TVS Creon, Bajaj Urbanite, etc. are the few names which are the most awaited two-wheelers for the next year. These vehicles help people to travel faster without causing any harm to the environment. Not only the mainstream manufacturers will launch their two-wheelers, but some start-ups will also get a chance to deliver their innovative products. Emflux Motors is a start-up based in Bengaluru, which will launch India’s first electronic sports bike called Emflux One, and catering the needs of the people who love sports bikes and want to go green at the same time. 

Car Pools: Indians are adopting carpools and they have found a significant change in the environment. Car-pooling is also advocated by big corporates as they provide the facilities for their employees. Transport network companies like Ola and Uber also provide carpools under Ola share and Uber share. The companies ensure that the vehicles used for car-pooling are electric and provide no harm to nature. 

Three-wheelers: The Government of India has introduced e-rickshaws and e-buses in different government organizations. These vehicles use electric batteries and solar power as the fuel to run on the roads. This also enhances the spirit of using public transport instead of personal ones.

Hence, it would be appropriate to say that the future of electric vehicles in India in the coming years is safe. The use will only increase. The upcoming generations will be devoted to utilize natural resources and prevent the problems of pollution and the emission of harmful gases. The electric vehicle industry will also see a rise in the Indian market in the next decade due to the efforts taken by the Indian Government to combat the issues of pollution and save the planet.
