Electric Vehicles (EVs) offer a promising technology pathway for cutting down oil use and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions on a per-kilometre basis. EVs can achieve 50 g of CO2 emission per kilometre compared to the conventional, internal combustion engine (ICE) cars, which emit between 100 and 150 g of CO2 per kilometre.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh recently pledged to double India’s renewable energy capacity by 2017 at the Clean Energy Ministerial hosted in New Delhi. This target adds to India’s already significant clean energy plans. In 2012, India was the world’s fourth-largest market for new wind power projects, it has ambitious solar energy and state-level targets, and it has significant government programmes on energy efficiency.
