Evolution of Electric Vehicle Charging & Energy Storage Infrastructure in India

The Indian transport sector accounts for 18% of total energy consumption, estimated to be 94.0 million tonnes of oil equivalent (Mtoe). If the country were to follow the present trends of energy consumption, it would require an approximate 200 Mtoe of energy supply annually, by the year 2030 to full...

Summary:The Indian transport sector accounts for 18% of total energy consumption, estimated to be 94.0 million tonnes of oil equivalent (Mtoe). If the country were to follow the present trends of energy consumption, it would require an approximate 200 Mtoe of energy supply annually, by the year 2030 to full fill the energy demand of the transportation sector. Climate change commitments made by the Government of India (GoI) in the COP21 Summit held at Paris, emission intensity reduction by 33- 35% by 2030 over 2005 levels make it is crucial to introduce alternative means of transportation to complement India's rapid economic growth, rapid urbanization, fuel demand, and energy security. Electric mobility has been accepted as one of the viable alternatives in addressing these challenges, when packaged with innovative pricing solutions, appropriate technology, and support infrastructure and thus, has been on the radar of the Government of India.
