Author(s): Ghate A
The policy by far presents itself as the most comprehensive sub-national policy that adopts a system-wide approach to promote the adoption of EVs. Anchored to the objectives of reducing air pollution in the city, the policy targets three critical areas to trigger market adoption of EVs: Demand generation; demand assurance, and infrastructure creation.
This presentation by the International Transport Forum (ITF) explains the car and road congestion through a microscopic approach; car, accessibility and land use through a macroscopic approach and regulation of urban mobility toward coherent policy packages.

The World Resources Institute (WRI) organised a webinar on Testing and Accreditation Status of Electric Vehicles in India on November 11, 2019, as a part of the project, "Electric mobility Forum" launched by the vice president of India in 2019. The speaker Anand Deshpande, Sr. Deputy Director, ARAI (Pune), talked about the clean disruptions of energy and transportation and shared a broad outlook of EV global scenario while highlighting the Indian New EV program and Electric Vehicle standardization in India.
In this interview, Mr Malin Andersson of the Urban Transport Administration describes the effects of this largest European consolidation project. At the Lindholm research campus, for example, around 80 percent of the heavy goods traffic is saved through the consolidation of deliveries and waste collection. But Gothenburg also uses other instruments - such as congestion charges - to improve traffic and promote smart logistics.

Author(s): Mubashir S
In this webinar, Dr Sajid Mubashir, Scientist, Department of Science and Technology, Government of India talks about "Standardizing Charging of Electric Vehicles: Benefits, Opportunities, and Challenges." He focused on EV targets set by India by highlighting the FAME-2 targets along with Basic and Fast Charging systems, Charging standards and the batteries.
India’s focus on next-gen mobility has definitely taken on legs under the current government, but the ‘National Electric Mobility Mission Plan (NEMMP) 2020’ was actually unveiled in 2013.
