• The mission of this conference is to examine the key trends, recent developments, and challenges in the Indian e-mobility space; assess the regulatory requirements and policy direction for development of EV charging infrastructure in the context of the projected segment growth; discuss the plans, role and opportunities for discoms, manufacturers and charging infrastructure providers; 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.
• An efficient and accessible charging infrastructure is a pre-requisite for the uptake of electric vehicles (EVs) as it reduces range anxiety and improves charging convenience.
• The government has announced several plans and initiatives to build a national network of charging stations. With a target to achieve 30 per cent new electric car and two-wheeler sales 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 the development of a charging infrastructure.
• The states are also gearing up for the uptake of EVs as a means of mainstream mobility as well as the development of charging infrastructure.
• The growing uptake of EVs presents a host of opportunities for manufacturers and charging infrastructure developers. Over the past one year, the industry has seen a rapid decline in battery costs, technological advancements in the charging segment, emergence of innovative business models, and introduction of policies and subsidies. These have played a pivotal role in enhancing the buzz around EVs.
• However, realising the government’s e-mobility vision is not without challenges and demands unique solutions. The development of publicly available, fast-charging stations will be crucial to support the planned EV growth. The role of discoms would be key in this infrastructure roll-out as they will manage the demand and supply of power for charging EVs.
• The conference will highlight opportunities, technologies, and solutions to build a smart and efficient public charging infrastructure to meet the coverage and convenience requirements. It will bring together regulators, policymakers, discoms, charging network operators, technology providers and OEMs to discuss the challenges and propose solutions for building a user-friendly national charging network.
