Ev In India : India’s electric future ahead

Ev in India is a great success in recent years .EV Stands for Electronic vehicle as these vehicle runs on battery rather than petrol , diesel or CNG . In recent years people of India are adopting electronic vehicles for their daily commute as it is economical to drive and it protects the environment from various hazardous greenhouse gases emitted from petrol and diesel cars and There is at tremendous growth in this sector as lots of automobile companies such as Tata , Mahindra , Byd , Tesla are investing massively in this sector . Electronic market in india is dominated by Tata Technologies by having 72% market share of Ev’s In India . The Government of India is also a major contributor for growth of Ev in India by providing subsidies and tax benefits to both buyer and  manufacturer and goal of our Country is to emerge as a global hub for electronic vehicles manufacturing.

Present Status of Electronic vehicles (ev’s) in India

As of the present there are notable development in Ev sector in India which we will discuss below:-

1.Government Initiative to support Ev In India :

initiatives such as Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid And Electric Vehicles (FAME) provides financial incentives for purchasing Ev’s and building charging infrastructure which leads to development of Ev sector in India.

2.Charging Infrastructure:

Ev Companies such as Tata , Mahindra , Byd etc. are doing massive investment in charging infrastructure to make Ev vehicles in ind charge easily for long routes.

3.Manufacturing and Investments:

Domestic automakers such as Tata , Mahindra Electric and Ola Electric are launching various 2 wheelers, 3 wheelers and cars to expand their Ev catalog In India . other International Players such as Tesla , Hyundai , Byd are investing massively in India to launch their Ev cars in India

4.Policy and Regulation for Ev in India:

The indian government is continuously developing and refining policies and regulations to support the Ev Ecosystem in India which will lead towards the movement of Green Society by reducing various hazardous emissions.

5.Future outlook of Ev’s in India:

Main target of India is to make most people of India to be the Owner of Electronic vehicles by 2030. Electronic vehicles will witness substantial growth with advancements in technology, infrastructure, and supportive policies in coming years

Market share of Various Automobile companies in Ev in India

As per latest Canalys research India’s electronic vehicles market grew by 9.8% in 2023 from 1.8 million in 2022 to 2 million in 2023. Canalys claims that Indian Ev market is growing by 137% yearly. Here is the pie chart Showing the share of Automobile companies in Ev Market in India

Advantages of electronic vehicles(Ev’s) in India

1.Low running cost:

Running cost of electronic vehicles is generally low as compared to diesel and petrol cars. The average cost of running a ev in India generally ranges from .5 paisa to 1 ruppee per kilometer which is far low as compared to petrol and diesel cars which ranges from 6 to 20 ruppees per kilometer

2.Low maintenance cost:

electronic vehicles are cheaper to maintain as compared to petrol and diesel cars as it operates on battery , so it does not need any fuel service which leads to reduction in maintenance cost.

3.Zero Carbon Emission:

Ev vehicles runs on battery which leads to zero Carbon emission which is harmful for our environment.if there is an adoption of Ev in India then we will lead to towards much greener society.

4.Tax and financial benefit on Ev in India:

registration fees and road tax is generally low for Ev’s in India as compared to petrol and diesel cars.Even Road authority has made a rule to not collect Toll charges from ev vehicles for a specific Period.

How Electronic Vehicles work?

Electric vehicles (EVs) are quite different from conventional petrol and diesel cars. Here is a breakdown of how EV’s work

Electricity Storage:

Instead of a gas tank, EVs rely on a large rechargeable battery pack which consist of small batteries to store electricity to make vehicle run.This battery pack is made up of numerous cells that are grouped together in modules.then the battery supplies Direct Current(DC) to the electric motor .

 The Electric Motor:

Unlike a gasoline engine, EVs use an electric motor to convert electrical energy stored in battery into mechanical energy that turns the wheels of a vehicle. AC motors are generally used for their efficiency and reliability.

The Controller:

A critical component is the electronic control unit that acts like the brain which is very crucial for managing the flow of electricity between the battery and the motor. It regulates power based on the driver’s input from the accelerator pedal which helps in improving reliability and mileage of a vehicle.

 Regenerative Braking:

One of the major advantages of EVs is regenerative braking which works when the driver applies the brakes which helps in increasing mileage of an Ev vehicle by acting as a power generator.

Charging:

To replenish the battery, EVs can be plugged into a charging station which supplies AC electricity .there are various fast charger station in India . The on-board charger converts this AC electricity to DC for storage in the battery pack which improves travelling to long distances.
