With the outbreak of the pandemic, there are various things that have become new normal. Whether it is the use of mask by people or the inclination toward online pharmacy, or the work from home model. One more thing that also adds to this list of new normal is the growing fondness of the people toward electric vehicles in the world and also in India.
With a big jolt to the economy of the world, there is a sudden price hike in diesel and petrol, people are looking for other sustainable options for fuelling their vehicles.
By switching to an electric car, it is possible for the people to play their part in freeing up the metro cities from pollution. EVs can make it possible for India to move toward a cleaner and sustainable future for the people.
Range plays an important role, as cars often go on long routes, and the charging should be quick and easy, for the electric variants to become more popular in India.
Generally, EVs are expensive, mainly because of battery. 1kWh of power is enough to power a car approximately 6 km, so a 200km variant requires about 35 kWh of battery. The charges for lithium-ion batteries are about USD were not so long ago was 250/kWh globally. But with the constantly falling prices of the batteries and reaching as low as USD100/kWh, in the years to come, electric cars can emerge as a game changer in India as well as the world.
The demand for electric cars will surely increase in India and will reach to a total sale of 376,000 units by the end of this decade.
With rising fuel prices, the need for electric cars has increased. With proper infra, they will become within the reach of the customers, and who knows, may be soon India can live the dream of becoming all-electric in terms of vehicles.
