The electric mobility sector in India is at a nascent stage and the electric vehicle (EV) market is still developing. The low availability of EV charging infrastructure is one of the major challenges facing electric vehicle adoption in the country. The electric four-wheeler (e-4W) segment in particular needs to tackle this barrier to EV adoption. Apart from issues like the limited availability of e-4W models across different four-wheeler segments and vehicle quality issues, the lack of e-4W penetration in the Indian EV market is attributed to lack of public charging infrastructure.
This study aims to bridge the knowledge gap around e-4W segment in the Indian context, especially focusing on charging infrastructure planning in India.
