India’s push toward electric vehicles is outpacing its charging infrastructure, with a growing shortage of EV charging points threatening to slow adoption. Despite ambitious targets for electric mobility, the current network of 67,000 charging stations falls far short of meeting demand as sales surge. Experts warn that without rapid expansion of charging hubs—especially in urban and highway corridors—consumers may face inconvenience and hesitation in switching to EVs. The gap highlights a critical challenge in balancing India’s green energy goals with the practical needs of everyday drivers.
