Electric Vehicles for Sustainable Future

Abstract

            Indian transport sector is one of the largest oil consumers. Conventional fuel vehicles consume fossil fuels and produce toxic greenhouse gases which lead to long term adverse effect on human health and our environment. Many states in India are more polluted, specifically air polluted while India is the 5^th most polluted country in the World. But now consumers in worldwide are preferring electric vehicles. Electric vehicles are a better option for this because they are non-polluting and have a consistent linear performance. According to European Energy Agency research, driving an electric car emits 17-30% fewer carbon emissions than driving a gasoline or diesel vehicle. In India, people consider energy savings as the primary reason for switching to an electric vehicle. In this paper researchers initially tried to show that, how electric vehicles are demanded. Then state-wise demand, vehicle categories- demand and other sales related data. In India, in connection to encouraging people to use and buy electric vehicles governments are investing in e-vehicles related infrastructure also. Research and development sector also working more actively in this field. At the end, researcher tried to show the relationship between electric vehicles and sustainable future with its advantages.
