<h1>Electric Vehicle Adoption in India: Gradual Progress Hindered by Cost, Infrastructure, and Consumer Preferences</h1> Government policies and subsidies have incrementally boosted electric vehicle sales in India between 2014 and 2023, but market share remains modest. Despite national goals to achieve 30% EV sales in cars and higher percentages in commercial and two/three-wheelers by 2030, challenges persist including high costs, limited charging infrastructure, and consumer preference for traditional vehicles. A study by a research institute found that while subsidies increased sales, particularly in two-wheeler segments, comprehensive strategies beyond financial incentives are needed to drive substantial market transformation.
