One thing is clear the future is electric and the entire automobile industry is moving towards adopting electric vehicles. Especially electric two-wheelers industry as the demand for electric two-wheelers is higher than that for four-wheelers.
What is stopping this rEVolution? Its cost. the upfront cost of Electric Vehicles is higher due to their battery, and this is one of the major drawbacks of its adoption, and thus the Indian government has brought a lot of EV policies and subsidies to make it cost-effective for every middle-class family.
Based on the vehicle’s battery capacity, which is measured in kWh, the subsidy amount has been calculated.
