Abstract

Sustainable consumption is an integral part of the sustainable development goals. Electrical vehicles (EVs) globally are being promoted as an eco-friendly transport option and as a potential solution to help nations reduce their fossil fuel dependence. The promotion and adoption of EVs is dependent on several socio-technical and environmental factors ranging from government policies, type of batteries, available infrastructure, knowledge and awareness levels, psychological factors, among others. This study presents a case on India—an upcoming EV hotspot in the world and the country which aims to have 30% EVs on road by 2030. Firstly, the factors that affect perception and adoption of EVs in India have been reviewed. Secondly, this study highlights key policy challenges in India related to EVs targeted at different stakeholders and suggests plausible solutions for each of them including implications for research, policy, and society. The results and findings of the study are expected to add value to existing literature on EV adoption in context of developing countries and help policymakers in India devise robust policies on EVs aimed at improving the overall EV ecosystem in India leading to enhanced consumer satisfaction and trust.
