• The heightened interest in electric vehicles (EVs) globally is understandable. The auto industry, powered by fossil fuels, is facing all-round disruption. At a macro level, countries are working towards mitigating climate change, addressing the issue of surging pollution, lowering crude import bill and ensuring energy security. In this scenario, battery-run EVs with zero tail pipe emission are emerging as a good alternative.
• Governments across the world are deploying carrot-and-stick strategy to push auto sales towards EVs and, India is nowhere behind. With a target to achieve 30 per cent of new sales of cars and two-wheelers to be electric by 2030, the government is actively taking steps to create an ecosystem for e-mobility. These include fiscal and non-fiscal measures to create demand for such vehicles as well as adequate supplies to ensure development of the charging infrastructure.
• In the latest development, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) council has lowered the tax on EVs from 12 per cent to 5 per cent and on electric chargers from 18 per cent to 5 per cent. Earlier this year, the government announced an outlay of Rs 100 billion for three years, towards Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles (FAME 2) scheme to expand the commercial EV fleet. The power ministry is also working on a draft tariff policy that will ensure reasonable electricity charges from discoms. Besides, the road ministry has proposed an exemption of registration fees for battery-operated vehicles.
• In March 2019, the cabinet also approved setting up of a National Mission on Transformative Mobility and Battery Storage, to drive clean, connected, shared, sustainable and holistic mobility initiatives which included a Phased Manufacturing Programme (PMP), upto 2024. .
• States are also gearing up for the uptake of EVs as a means of mainstream mobility and development of charging infrastructure. Karnataka was the first to launch a comprehensive EV policy, followed by Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Delhi, Kerala, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
• India’s drive towards EV-led mobility has accelerated in recent years. The EV industry witnessed a growth of 124 per cent selling 56,000 units in FY18 as against 25,000 units in FY17.
• Despite the euphoria surrounding EVs, several speed bumps in the policy and industry landscape remain. The biggest hurdle for Indias EV ramp up is likely to come from its near non-existent EV ecosystem, from charging infrastructure to manufacturing of critical component supply like battery cells, motors and controllers, which are mostly being imported from China. A specific concern is that of the electricity grid. What needs to be changed in the grid for it to be able to handle this type of demand?
• Directionally, India s EV policy is headed in the right direction, but the country does not have a comprehensive national plan for EVs with clear targets. Any e-vehicle mandate adopted in India will need to have sound legal backing, a well-defined timetable for intermediate goalposts and adequate lead time for manufacturers and fleet managers of all sizes to plan a smooth transition
• Besides resolving the aforementioned issues, going forward, development of publicly available, fast-charging stations will also be crucial to support the planned EV growth. Further, utilities and power companies need to factor in renewable energy for meeting power demand from EVs since a key goal for using these vehicles is to reduce the pollution.
• The mission of this conference is to examine the opportunities, issues and challenges in the Indian e-mobility space; assess the electricity needs and requirements of EVs in the context of the projected segment growth; discuss the plans and requirements of the key stakeholders; examine the charging and other infrastructure requirements; and showcase global case studies as well as noteworthy solutions and technologies. It will also provide a platform for the industry to share experiences and exchange views and opinions.
