Abstract

The shift towards electric mobility in India is motivated by the need to reduce the considerable environmental effect on the road sector induced by rapid urbanization and commuter traffic. Which accounts for 80% of total emissions including 60% of greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles. To address this problem the Indian government set up a target for electric vehicle fleets in the country by 2030. The goal is very ambitious but difficult to achieve due to the lack of resources, technology, and infrastructure required for EVs. Hence, different policies, battery technology, charging infrastructure, consumer perception, incentive programs, and local manufacturing for affordability and availability will have to be provided to create an ecosystem for electric vehicles in India. The paper gives an overview of current e-mobility trends, practices, and innovations, and the policy imperatives required to encourage the growth of sustainable e-mobility in India.
