India and China are reasons for global warming in the last 10 years. We have not been provided nuclear fuel and hence excessive dependency on coal. Coal is abundant in India, Indonesia and Australia our major sources for power.
Electric vehicles in the form of bikes, autos, cars and buses will help save the country from pollution, reduce noise, average speed to avoid accidents. Governments around the world are already a step further in improving facilities for electric vehicles. Mahindra and other companies attempted but failed due to lack of support in the form of special subsidies or benefits to customers. Power consumption bill was also a major concern. Delhi has electic autos and have become a hit. Even though drivers bought them during Commonwealth games only now has things been cleared after new govt came in place.
Norway, netherlands, US and china have achieved much in this field. They have gone to extend of analyzing load of charging once people reach office and when they reach home they put the vehicle on charging mode.
Tesla and Nissan are globally the biggest companies in electric vehicle manufacturing. Govt must ask them to setup shop here and understand our needs and then atleast by 5 -7 years some progress can be made.
1. No VAT for electric vehicles, no road tax.No toll fees.
2. More electric autos if on road will help greatly reduce pollution and price of travelling. More subsidies for auto drivers to purchase.
3. Charging point with multi level parking at petrol bunks. Since petrol bunks are the one who are source of pollution. They must be given the primarily responsibility for charging.
4. Charging points in all offices and parking lots. Many countries provide free parking for electrical vehicles at shopping plazas.
5. Electric buses will be the key. IIT delhi and IIT chennai have designed electric buses they must be used by local buses transportation. And data collection and issues will help resolve issues and slowly govt can be a biggest manufacturer of electric vehicles.
6. The subsidy must be highest for Buses and reduced little by little to cars, autos and two wheelers.
7. Speed has been a concern raised by two wheeler users, if we can go 75 kms with 60kmph at average speed it must be best vehicle.
Hope govt takes some effort.
