Industry Experts’ Insights on the Future of Electric Cars

We had the opportunity to speak with several industry experts about their thoughts on the current state and future of electric and hybrid cars in India. They all agreed that the government’s push towards electric mobility, through policies such as FAME II, is a step in the right direction.

However, they also highlighted the need for further investments in charging infrastructure and R&D to make electric cars more accessible to the masses. One of the key takeaways from the discussion was the need for a robust charging infrastructure for electric and hybrid cars to truly take off in India.

Several panelists pointed out that the lack of charging stations is currently one of the biggest hurdles to the wider adoption of electric vehicles in the country. They also emphasized the need for Government policies and incentives to make electric vehicles affordable for the masses.

Government Policies for a better future

The Indian government has already taken steps to promote the adoption of electric and hybrid cars. The FAME II scheme, for example, provides financial assistance for the purchase of electric vehicles and charging infrastructure.

The government has also set a goal of achieving 30% electric mobility by 2030. However, panelists agreed that more needs to be done to fully support the growth of the electric and hybrid car market in India.

New EV policy of India

In addition to existing policies, the Indian Government has recently announced a new EV policy. The policy aims to set up an ecosystem for EVs and to make them more affordable and accessible to the public.

The policy includes a target of 30% EV in public transport and 20-25% EV in private transport by 2030. The government also plans to set up EV charging infrastructure in all major cities and highways and introduce financial incentives for EV buyers and manufacturers.

The Role of Auto expo.

And that’s where the role of the auto expo comes into play, as it serves as a platform for manufacturers to showcase their latest models and technologies, and for consumers to get a firsthand look at the latest electric and hybrid cars on the market.

Additionally, it serves as a platform for industry experts to share their insights and ideas on how to support the growth of the electric and hybrid car market in India. The Auto Expo 2023 was an exciting event for anyone interested in the future of sustainable mobility in India. 

In Conclusion

Overall, day 1 of the Auto Expo provided a glimpse into the future of electric and hybrid cars in India. With many exciting new models on display and positive developments in government policies and incentives, it’s clear that electric and hybrid cars are well on their way to becoming mainstream in India.

However, there is still a lot of work that needs to be done in terms of infrastructure and affordability to make them accessible to a wider range of consumers.
