Impedance to EV Adaption in India Nitin Agrawal This paper was written as a part of survey conducted in India towards the adaption of Electric Vehicle as a part of academic project in Institute of Product Leadership India. Institute of Product Leadership Bengaluru, India
Abstract: While it is financially beneficial to switch to electric vehicle the adaption is not growing fast due to the infrastructure challenges and other challenges faced with battery charging and time. The cost & life of the battery is a major concern. DIY kits and converting existing vehicle also has many challenges that are discussed in this paper. Keywords: Challenges in Two-Wheeler and Three-Wheeler Electric Vehicle Adaption in India.
I. INTRODUCTION The population of India was 1.41 billion as of January 2022. The most of its population is in the low- and mid-income rage. They prefer the two-wheeler Bicycle or bikes for the daily commute. While there are other options, we will discuss in this paper how the electric vehicle adaption in two and three-wheeler auto-rikshaw are facing infrastructure challenges towards adaption.
II. IMPEDANCE TO EV ADAPTION A. Total Vehicle Population in India As per the Statista report there are more than 295.77 million vehicles operating in India in 2019.
