Why E-cars….?
Electric cars
are powered by electricity, which as an energy source is cleaner and cheaper
than oil. Even when the electricity comes from the dirtiest coal-dominated
grid, electric vehicles still
produces less pollution than their conventional counterparts, and
with fewer tailpipe emissions.
Model available and price…
For Electric
Cars, there are 2 new models on offer from various manufacturers. Mahindra E
Verito (Rs. 9.50 lakh), Mahindra e2oPlus (Rs. 6.07 lakh) and are among the most
popular cars in this segment.
Govt. of India vision…
Sometime last
year, the Union government suddenly announced that India would make the
paradigm shift to full electric mobility by 2030. This was more a statement of
intent signalling a necessary and transformative shift to ease polluting
vehicular emissions on our congested roads. NITI Aayog has since suggested that
40% of personal vehicles and public transportation in the country should go
completely electric by 2030. This seems a more realistic target.
There are a number of great
benefits to electric vehicles (EVs) over conventional petrol/diesel cars.
·
Cheaper to run. Owners of an EV have the advantage of much lower
running costs. ...
·
Cheaper to maintain. ...
·
Other savings. ...
·
Better for the environment.
·
Health benefits. ...
·
Safety improvements. ...
·
Our energy security
Moving forward
on the path to electrifying mobility is a complex issue and requires all
stakeholders to work together. When we planned the solar mission, we had
intensive consultations. The roll-out was smooth. EVs require a similar effort.
I hope NITI Aayog will take the lead and make the transition to electric
mobility smoother and faster.
