Global EVs to Reach 85 Million

The global electric vehicle (EV) market is set to experience rapid growth, with an estimated 85 million EVs expected on roads worldwide by 2025, according to industry projections. As part of this global surge, India is anticipated to see a significant rise in EV adoption, with around 5 lakh (500,000) electric vehicles projected to be in use within the same timeframe. The increased momentum in EV adoption is driven by the global push for sustainability, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and transitioning toward cleaner energy alternatives in transportation.

India’s growing interest in EVs is supported by various government initiatives, such as subsidies, tax incentives, and infrastructure development, including the expansion of charging stations. The country aims to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels and cut carbon emissions as part of its commitments to the Paris Agreement on climate change. The Indian government has set ambitious goals to electrify its transportation sector, with a focus on public transport, two-wheelers, and commercial vehicles, contributing significantly to overall EV adoption.

Technological advancements in battery technology, reduced costs of electric vehicles, and increasing consumer awareness are also key factors driving the global EV market. In addition, several major automakers are launching new electric models to meet the rising demand for eco-friendly vehicles. These factors are expected to fuel the exponential growth of the electric mobility sector over the next few years.

However, challenges such as the high initial cost of EVs, lack of charging infrastructure in certain regions, and supply chain constraints for critical materials like lithium and cobalt for batteries still need to be addressed. India’s EV market, though growing, will require continued investment and policy support to achieve its targets and fully integrate into the global EV ecosystem.

The global shift toward electric vehicles represents a major step in reducing carbon emissions and combating climate change, with significant implications for the energy and automotive sectors worldwide.
