IFGE Advocates Coexistence of Ethanol and EVs in India's Clean Mobility Transition
The Indian Federation of Green Energy (IFGE) advocates for a diversified clean mobility strategy in India, emphasizing that ethanol and electric vehicles (EVs) should coexist rather than compete. With nearly 300 million internal combustion engine vehicles still in use, IFGE highlights E20 ethanol blend as an immediate step to reduce oil dependence, despite a 2-6% fuel efficiency reduction compared to E10. Testing shows no widespread engine damage, especially in newer vehicles, while India advances nationwide E20 deployment and higher ethanol blends alongside EVs and other technologies.
