Electric Vehicles are clean and eco friendly automobiles that have taken the Indian market by storm. These vehicles are manufactured and marketed by many companies all over the nation.

1. Electric Vehicles are here to stay in India
The revolution of driving an Electric Vehicle or EV has touched the Indian
roads in large numbers these days. Several companies are manufacturing
these vehicles to cater to the needs of Indian consumers. The reason why
these vehicles are getting so popular is because EVs are eco friendly and
guarantee returns in the long run. Apart from manufacturing brand new
EV vehicles, there are companies that have developed retro-fitted kits
that can convert existing petrol or diesel driven vehicles into hybrid
electric vehicles. Main reason why this technology has emerged is
because of the rising fuel prices. Furthermore, in the long run nonrenewable sources of fuel derived from fossil fuels will get depleted and at
such junctures these EVs will come to the rescue of the public.
Unlike fuels like petrol and diesel that lead to an increasing carbon dioxide
(CO2) level in the air EVs are pollution free because they run on
electricity. These battery powered vehicles do not pose any challenge to
the atmosphere and also cause no threat to various economies across the
globe as they run on power. Neither do they consume on the rare crude
oil deposits nor do they need expensive gas pumps to be set up all over
the nation. Many companies develop, manufacture and market Electric
Vehicles in India at present. Some of these are as follows:

company that operates out of Bangalore and this company is
involved in designing and manufacturing compact electric vehicles
especially for the Indian market. The REVAi electric car is now
available in 26 countries across the globe.

petrol or diesel into a hybrid or clean electric vehicle.

But the EV that has swept customers off their feet in India is the EV
range from Polaris India. This range is called the GEM electric
vehicle. The EVs from the off road vehicle giant go by the names
E2, E4, and E4S. These vehicles run on 72-Volt Battery System and
have an onboard charger. Most of them are covered under a 2 year
vehicle protection plan. Besides they have a very light body because
the aluminum frame is sturdy and light offering. The EV from Polaris
has an advanced suspension with a 4-wheel braking system.
Besides there are 3 point seat belts that offer extra protection to
the driver and the passengers.

3. EVs serve as a perfect valet parking vehicle and thereby make
customer service easy. Besides they also serve as efficient parking
enforcement and security patrol vehicles and can also be used by
police and defence forces. EVs are also public safety patrol vehicles
that can be used within campuses. Neighbourhood commuting is also
made easy with them. All in all electric vehicles or EVs are the next
generation cars that the public will use for commuting on Indian roads.
