Consumer Attitudes Towards Electrical Vehicles in India

Author(s) Er. Sumit Pandey (MBA)

Abstract This report explores consumer attitudes toward electric vehicles (EVs) in India, focusing on understanding the factors influencing their adoption, challenges faced by consumers, and their preferences. With the growing need for sustainable solutions to combat air pollution and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, EVs are emerging as an important alternative to traditional fuel vehicles. The report analyzes the Indian EV market, its growth trends, government initiatives, consumer behavior, and challenges to EV adoption, and provides recommendations to overcome these barriers.
The study highlights that while India has made significant progress in promoting EVs, the overall adoption rate remains low, accounting for only 7% of total vehicle sales in FY 2023–24. Two-wheelers and three-wheelers dominate the market due to their affordability and suitability for short-distance travel, while four-wheelers and buses face slower adoption because of high upfront costs and limited charging infrastructure. The Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles (FAME) scheme has played a vital role in accelerating EV adoption by offering subsidies and incentives. However, the scheme has achieved only 76% of its revised targets, with several gaps in fund utilization and infrastructure development.
