The Future of Electric Cars: New Launches and Plans of Top Brands

The automobile industry in India is going through a phase of rapid change, and the demand for electric vehicles (EVs) is increasing day by day. Environmental awareness, rising petrol-diesel prices and the government's EV-friendly policies are further promoting it. In such a situation, the top auto companies of the country and the world are coming up with new models and future plans of electric cars.

Why Are Electric Cars Necessary?

The increasing problem of environmental pollution and carbon emissions has made electric vehicles necessary. EVs are not only eco-friendly, but are also more economical than expensive fuel in the long term. The Government of India is also running many schemes with the goal of adopting EVs by 2030, such as FAME II scheme and tax exemption.

Tata Motors has already launched successful cars like Nexon EV and Tiago EV. Now the company is working on a plan to launch more than 10 EV models by 2025. Tata Curvv EV and Harrier EV are in the news in the coming time.

2. Mahindra
Mahindra has recently introduced its Born Electric Series which includes models like XUV.e8, XUV.e9 and BE.05. Mahindra plans to have a 30% share in the EV market by 2026.

3. Hyundai

Tesla has been planning to enter India for a long time. Now it is expected that by the end of 2025, the company can launch vehicles like its Model 3 and Model Y in India.

Government and future of EVs
The Government of India is working rapidly on charging infrastructure. Apart from this, road tax and registration fees are being waived on electric vehicles. State governments are also giving subsidies, which has made buying an EV even cheaper.

Challenges still remain

Lack of charging stations

Battery price and replacement

Range anxiety for long distance travel

EV acceptance in rural areas

To solve all this, the government and companies will have to work together.
