2. Introduction
An EV is a shortened acronym for an electric vehicle.
EVs are vehicles that are either partially or fully powered on electric power.
They have low running costs as they have less moving parts for maintaining and are very
environmental friendly as they use little or no fossil fuels (petrol or diesel)
3. Why do we need EVs?
o Fast reduction of fossil fuels.
o Purpose of EVs has a significant reduction in air pollution (CO2 emissions) and
reduction of crude oil usage.
o Facilitate employment growth and economic of country.
o Climate Risk Index 2020 published by German watch; India's rank has degraded
in world's vulnerability ladder from 14th in 2017 to 5th in 2018
o To reduce dependence on OPEC+ countries
o Increasing Oil Imports leading to depletion of forex reserves
o High cost of ownership of IC engines due to rise in oil prices

7. EVs - Indian Scenario (Regulations)
To promote the adoption of EVs, the Department of Heavy Industry formulated a FAME India Scheme.
Government initiatives to Promote Electric Vehicles in India:
• Reduction in GST on EVs 12% to 5% against the 28% for conventional vehicles.
• Exemption of registration fees
•The Ministry of Power has also allowed the sale of electricity as a ‘service’ for electric vehicles’ charging to
attract investors into the charging infrastructure.
•The government has granted an exemption to battery-operated transport vehicles and vehicles that run on
methanol and ethanol fuels from the requirements of the permit.
•The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has allowed 16-18 years to obtain driving licenses to drive
e-scooters.
8. Electric vehicles in India represent a promising and sustainable future for
transportation, offering numerous environmental and economic benefits.
As the nation continues to embrace EV technology, we are moving towards a
cleaner and greener tomorrow.
