The pedal on EVs

The need to increase investment in battery chargers along proportionate intervals is a no-brainer.

Despite the import ban on items branded as luxury goods, including automobiles, the import of electric vehicles (EVs) has seen an exponential rise, especially in the last fiscal year, 2021-22. According to the Department of Customs, imports jumped sevenfold to 1,807 units compared to the previous fiscal year. The increase in demand is in line with government policy to switch to electric vehicles by 2031 , partly due to a rise in climate change awareness among nations worldwide. But the other more critical issue is reducing dependency on fossil fuels, which has wreaked havoc on the economy time and again.
