One thing that bugs me about the EV push, is India’s electricity generation expanding at a pace that will be able to keep up with the massive increase in EVs? Don’t want to go back to the load shedding era
Initial push will be include hybrid and hydrogen commerical vehicles. EVs being normalized will take decades when country as ample electricity but process has begun at full scale.
Even diesel generator based recharging stations are good enough since pollution is restricted at one place where it can be controlled or treated.
Honestly worried about how ice ban would work in northeast , even in my city in 2023 load shedding is still happening monthly sometimes weekly and is likely happening in many other Ne cities , logically going with green hydrogen than ev is likely better which ig M Nitin is trying to do
Even hydrogen would create the need for radically different filling infrastructure than exists today. Hydrogen is definitely the future but the tech isn’t quite there today and the infra is even further behind.
+ for NE I’d have thought it would be logical to aggressively pursue hydro power?
There will be no ICE ban any time soon in India. Normalization of EVs will gradually replace combustion engines. Electric motors are a far cleaner and energy efficient source for thrust than an IC engine which basically runs on expansions in exothermic reactions and most energy gets waste in form of heat. And unlike IC engines which breathe on air and are greatly affected by air & temperature at remote areas, EVs will be least affected until conditions are extreme enough to affect their performance (such extreme conditions would already have jammed an IC engine).
well... for. me eletric cars are just those woke things...
Do you know the difference between an EV and a combustion engine vehicle?
Far from being woke, EV is a next generation era of transportation and a geopolitical target for India.
Eradicating dependence on middle east on oil, acquiring absolute energy efficiency in transportation, facilitate an all weather unaffected drive for people boosting economy everywhere and nearly one fifth of air pollution diminished.
biggest scam is climate change
Climate change is a reality. Although it is quite different from what uneducated teenage activists showcase it to be.
The solution for same is controlling wastages and vanity things in west, not closing down emerging industries in Asia which don't even produce a fraction of pollution as compared to former one.
