Electric vehicles are gaining popularity as a sustainable alternative to gasoline vehicles. The document outlines the history of electric vehicles dating back to early inventions in the 1820s and discusses advantages like lower emissions and less noise compared to internal combustion engines. However, electric vehicles also currently have disadvantages like higher costs and a need for improved battery technology to equal the range of gasoline vehicles. The future of electric vehicles depends on developing batteries with higher energy density and shorter charge times. India aims for electric vehicles to account for 30% of new vehicle sales by 2030 and is making investments to expand charging infrastructure nationwide.
