As India gears up to meet its ambitious climate goals, the government's proposal to make electric vehicles (EVs) mandatory by 2028 has sparked a heated debate. With a massive population and a growing demand for personal transportation, the country's infrastructure and charging network would need a significant overhaul to support the transition. Experts warn that India's lack of charging infrastructure, particularly in rural areas, could hinder the adoption of EVs and make it challenging for the country to meet its target. As the government weighs the pros and cons of this ambitious plan, one thing is clear: India's readiness for a mass shift to electric vehicles will be put to the test in the years to come.
