The EV sales trend in the past couple of years shows that the pace of e-2W adoption is much higher than that of electric four-wheelers (e-4Ws). Research supports the assumption that e-2Ws and e-3Ws are going to play a central role in achieving "shared, connected, and electric" mobility in India. To support the rapid pace of commercial adoption of e-2Ws and e-3Ws, availability of public charging infrastructure will be a crucial factor. However, apart from a few isolated studies that deal with EV charging infrastructure in general, there is a lack of thorough analysis that focuses on the light electric vehicle segment in the Indian context.

This study aims to facilitate the establishment of ubiquitous charging facilities for commercial light electric vehicle fleets in Indian cities.
