Charging Infrastructure in India: Addressing the Biggest Hurdle in EV

One of the major challenges in India's EV growth is charging infrastructure but public-private collaborations, incentives, and renewable energy can help improve the situation. Read here as we at CarDekho list down resources, comparisons, and financial aid that will help in improving EV adoption in India

What makes EVs so exciting? Many factors including how ‘cool’ it sounds to be able to own and drive an electric vehicle (EV). In India, owning a car is one’s success story and in cities, where toxic air quality is a grave issue, many consumers prefer to buy EVs. Innovative solutions for EVs can be offered in a personalised way to woo buyers. This is where platforms such as CarDekho are poised to offer a seamless experience to EV buyers.

Addressing consumer concerns is critical for EVs to take off and show a clear robust demand with potential Indian consumers.

Strategies to Enhance Charging Infrastructure:

●  Cross Collaborations and Partnerships: Consider state regulatory bodies collaborating with EV and auto manufacturers to develop charging networks across cities.

●  Infrastructure Development and Expansion: More incentives are required to install charging stations. Further, it can lead to infrastructure expansion.

●  Streamlining Charging Protocols: Building electric mobility at scale signifies a departure from conventional strategies. The approach has to factor in the economics of energy players while paving the way for revisiting and defining new charging protocols.

●  Integrating with Renewable Energy: Democratising energy can boost sustainability, minimise operational costs and refuelling time while paving the way for a fundamental shift in the energy scenario such as in the two wheeler and three wheeler segments, bringing the biggest impact in society and local communities.
