India Sees Growth in Electric Vehicle Sales and Introduction of Range-Extended EVs
India's electric vehicle (EV) market is growing steadily, with September registrations exceeding 330,000 units, driven by rising sales of electric two-wheelers and cars. While EVs remain a small market share, improvements in range, charging infrastructure, and competition are boosting confidence. The government’s new CAFE norms include range-extended electric vehicles (REEVs), which combine batteries with small engines to extend range but still emit some pollutants. As EV adoption rises, decarbonizing India’s power grid remains a key challenge.
