Speaking at the 1st Global Mobility Summit in New Delhi last month, Prime Minister Narendra Modi touched upon the mantra of 7Cs: common, connected, convenient, congestion-free, charged, clean and cutting-edge for addressing the mobility needs in the coming times. The underlying theme of his speech was the importance of the fact that cities need a paradigm shift in the way they plan mobility. In this context, the words, charged, clean and cutting-edge, play a significant role in the future of mobility because in the motorised segment, these mean electric.
Electric vehicles(EV) may sound futuristic but not anymore, because last year, electric cars surpassed the 30 lac mark worldwide. In addition, 3 crore two wheelers and 1 lac buses were sold last year, a majority of which were in China. This was due to the fact that the country is actively embracing electric vehicles, because of climatic and mobility-based reasons. Going by reports, it is expected that capital cost of EVs will be equivalent to internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles by 2025. This means that in less than 7 years, EVs will be cost-effective than petrol or diesel vehicles, as the cost of operations is already much lower than ICE vehicles.
