The coming of a major EV manufacturer from USA, Tesla is expected to take the industry up further, owing to their promising features and body designs in Electric Cars. But the reason for a slow switch from petrol/diesel cars to electric cars can be attributed to the reasons like less availability of charging stations, high range of pricing as compared to petrol or diesel based vehicles, lack of suitable infrastructure and innovation, and slower charging batteries.
But seeing the switch from BS IV to BS VI emission norms and the increasing fuel prices of petrol as well as diesel can make coming era of customers rely more on electric cars. Advances like Lithium Urban Technologies, which uses electric cars for staff transportation services and the technology of Rinspeed interconnected cars that is making its way in future are likely to support the industry well in the coming times. Mahindra Reva Electric Vehicles is also contributing its bit by teaming up with the Gopalan Malls chain in early 2013 to set up EV charging stations at all locations. Majors like Tesla that plan to enter India and Mahindra that belong to India are trying to move government to increase the subsidy and reduce taxation over border for the increment of its sales.
