electric car
Electric cars are vehicles that operate on an electric motor and rechargeable batteries. They have grown in terms of visibility and availability in the market over the past decade.
Companies like Tesla have added to the visibility of electric vehicles in the public space in recent times. Auto majors, who have so far relied on fossil fuel-driven vehicles, too are discussing electric cars as a viable option for the future.
Cumulative global sales have passed a million electric vehicles in 2016, led by US and China. An estimated 570,000 electric vehicles were sold in 2016 in Europe.
In India, electric cars have existed as a niche product, with the Reva driving around for over a decade. The Reva is now part of the Mahindra stable as the ‘e2o’. Mahindra also has a sedan variant on offer and an SUV variant in the pipeline.
Tesla Motors too is looking to enter the Indian market, with plans to set up a battery plant. The Tesla Model 3 could be expected on Indian roads in a couple of years.
Potential issues that could slow down the spread of electric cars in India are price point, maximum range and the lack of charging infrastructure.
