NEW DELHI: The development of public charging infrastructure will play a vital role in faster adoption of electric vehicles as driving range anxiety has emerged as a deterrent to customers to accept an EV as a primary car in a household, according to a senior Maruti Suzuki India executive.
The sales of electric passenger vehicles in the domestic market have almost doubled, but the overall base still remains small.
“Total contribution of EVs is 4.5 per cent (overall PV sales), it has grown from 2.4 per cent to 4.5 per cent. Absolutely, if you see numberwise, growth is 100 per cent. But is it sustainable?” Maruti Suzuki India Senior Executive Officer (Marketing & Sales) Partho Banerjee said in an interaction.
