<h1>India's Economic Survey 2018-19: Boost EV Adoption, Cut Costs, Expand Charging for Sustainable Transport by 2030.</h1> The Economic Survey 2018-19 presented by the Union Minister for Finance and Corporate Affairs highlights the potential of Electric Vehicles (EVs) in India, emphasizing the need for policy measures to reduce lifetime ownership costs and enhance charging infrastructure. The transport sector, a major CO2 contributor, necessitates a shift to alternative fuels. Despite a low market share of 0.06% for electric cars, EV adoption is growing, especially in two-wheelers and buses. The Survey suggests developing universal charging standards and improving battery technologies. Achieving significant EV sales by 2030 could substantially reduce CO2 emissions and oil dependency, positioning India as an EV manufacturing hub.
