Electric Vehicle Adoption Grows in India

India has seen a notable increase in electric vehicle (EV) adoption, with 3.38% of total vehicle registrations being EVs, totaling over 36 lakh units from 2019 to 2024, led by Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra. The EU also reported that hybrid and electric vehicles accounted for 48.3% of new car registrations in 2023, with significant growth in battery-only electric cars, particularly in Finland and Sweden. Belarus expects its number of electric cars to double in 2024, reaching around 24,000 units, supported by expanding charging infrastructure. Despite the gains, both India and the EU highlight the need for further infrastructure development and consumer awareness to boost EV adoption. As countries worldwide push for greener transportation, the varying rates of EV adoption underscore the disparities in infrastructure and policy support. Overall, the global shift towards electric vehicles reflects a growing commitment to sustainable mobility solutions.
