Discover the future of sustainable transportation. Explore statistics, environmental impact, and solutions shaping India's journey towards a greener tomorrow.
Understanding the current landscape and future projections of electric vehicle adoption across India
260 million two-wheelers dominate India's vehicle population. Electric two-wheelers account for 7% of new registrations (Jan-Sep 2025)
EV sales growing at 28.6% year-over-year (June 2025). Government targets 30% EV penetration by 2030
Understanding the environmental challenges of EV manufacturing and the sustainable solutions being implemented
Mining lithium, cobalt, and nickel damages ecosystems, pollutes water, and is energy-intensive
Produces nearly 4 tonnes of COâ‚‚ per EV. Energy-intensive production processes contribute to emissions in coal-dependent regions
Coal-based power limits EV environmental benefits. Most Indian power comes from coal until more renewables are used
Advanced recycling technologies can recover 95% of lithium and cobalt, reducing mining dependency and toxic waste
Accelerate transition to solar and wind-powered manufacturing and charging infrastructure to significantly reduce carbon footprint
Developing domestic supply chains reduces transportation emissions and supports local economies with cleaner production controls
Comprehensive approaches to accelerate electric vehicle adoption and create a sustainable transportation ecosystem
Expand charging networks with fast-charging stations. Target 1.32 million charging stations by 2030 with government support
Subsidies, tax benefits, and low-interest loans under FAME II and state policies to reduce upfront costs and make EVs affordable
Promote domestic EV and battery manufacturing through PLI schemes, technology partnerships to control costs and create jobs
Education campaigns highlighting cost savings (lower fuel costs), environmental benefits (reduced emissions), and technological advantages
Quick battery replacement stations for commercial vehicles and two-wheelers to reduce charging time
Support battery swapping and R&D for robust batteries that handle weather extremes and extend range
Ultra-fast charging hubs, standardization, and grid upgrades with decentralized solar charging
Addressing the critical challenges that hinder EV adoption and implementing effective solutions for sustainable growth
EVs cost 20-40% more than ICE vehicles, mainly due to batteries creating a significant barrier for mass adoption
Limited driving range (150-300km) and sparse charging infrastructure create consumer hesitation and fear of getting stranded
Heavy reliance on imported batteries (70% components imported), limited domestic manufacturing capabilities and cost fluctuation
