India's Electric Vehicle Transition Over the Years
2021
Author(s): Deshpande T
‘Lovebird’, the first electric vehicle (EV) in India, was launched in 1993 by Eddy Current Controls. Equipped with a lead–acid battery, which took eight hours to charge fully, the two-seater car had a driving range of 60 km per charge.
In India, the electrification of the transportation sector is considered a vital strategy to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and air pollution. Therefore, the central and state governments have introduced policies, financial schemes, guidelines, and standards to accelerate the uptake of electric vehicles (EV).
