The electric mobility sector in India is at a nascent stage. In spite of the government’s unambiguous policy signal and considerable financial support, EV market development is still on a bumpy road. One significant challenge with regard to scaling up EV adoption is the lack of provision of EV charging infrastructure. The electric four-wheeler (e-4W) segment in particular needs to tackle this barrier to EV adoption. Apart from issues like the limited availability of e-4W models across different four-wheeler segments and vehicle quality issues, the lack of e-4W penetration in the Indian EV market is attributed to lack of public charging infrastructure.
This study aims to bridge the knowledge gap around e-4W segment in the Indian context, especially focusing on charging infrastructure planning in India.
