India’s electric vehicle (EV) market is rapidly growing but faces significant challenges in charging infrastructure, with only one public charger for every 135 EVs, compared to a global average of one per 6-20 EVs. Over USD 450 million has been invested in charging networks and battery-swapping models. The “Charging Ahead II” report suggests India learn from global leaders like California and the UK, recommending streamlined regulations and public-private partnerships to enhance EV adoption. The introduction of a new combined charging standard aims to improve infrastructure efficiency. Collaboration between government, private investors, and technology is crucial for success.
