E Vehicles become an unavoidable thing in India people plan to close all-electric vehicles in 2030 due to pollution, climate change, and more. Most of the people are started to buy Electric vehicles can be bikes or cars with many top companies like OLA, Ather, Komaki, Mahindra, Tata, Kia, Morris Garages cars, Hyundai, and much more.
Electric vehicles are gradually increasing in India because of many benefits when compared to fuel vehicles. In this article, we are discussing the top benefits of electric vehicles in India.
Introduction
Here we are trying to elaborate top benefits of electric vehicles in India and why people are preferred to migrate from fuel to electric vehicles. What are the issues that they are faced with fuel vehicles?
1. Reduced Carbon Footprint
Reducing carbon footprints is one of the best benefits for all Indian people. The fuel vehicles like bikes, cars, trucks, autorickshaws and buses produce a high amount of carbon dioxide and harmful gases which increase climate change in the world. Therefore Electric vehicle plays a vital role on Indian roads like Prince. The battery is the source of Electric vehicle which does not produce any harmful gases and smokes and help us to keep the environment safe and clean.
2. Lower Running Costs
In my personal experience, electric vehicles are the most cost-effective to travel in India than compared to fuel vehicles like petrol and diesel. I keep spending very low maintenance like there is no chance to change engine oil, taxes, and other components. And we don’t no need to spend money on petrol and diesel.
3. Government Incentives
But still, people are hesitant to buy electric vehicles due to the price of cars or bikes. Luckily Indian government encourage people to buy electric vehicles in term of providing subsidies, tax concession, reducing the GST rate and much more below I have listed briefly
- Purchase Incentives: Direct discount provided to the user on the cost of the electric vehicle
- Coupons: Financial incentive where the amount is reimbursed later
- Interest Subventions:Discount offered on the interest rate while availing loan
- Road tax exemption:Road tax at the time of purchase is waived off
- Registration fee exemption:One-time registration fee applicable on new vehicle purchase is waived off
- Income tax benefit: Provided as a deduction on the tax amount payable by an individual to the government
- Scrapping incentives:Provided upon de-registering old Petrol and Diesel Vehicles
- Others: Incentives such as interest-free loans, top-up subsidies, special incentives on electric three-wheelers, etc. can also be availed

4. Noise Pollution Reduction
Electric vehicles another best benefit is noise pollution, in India, everyone gets to know how we suffer in noise pollution while travelling inroads. All E- Vehicles are reduced noise pollutions completely. Here Nitin Gadkari Minister of Road Transport and Highways of India says about noise pollution.
“I am studying this and soon planning to make a law that the horns of all vehicles should be in Indian musical instruments so that it is pleasant to hear. Flute, tabla, violin, mouth organ, harmonium…,” Gadkari said.
5. Improved Air Quality
Fuel-less vehicles are not producing strong gases and smokes hence our environment air quality will increase gradually while using electric vehicles. And this help the upcoming generation.
Here EPRI, NRDC, Environmental Assessment of a Full Electric Transportation Portfolio, 2015 says “a PEV today has 54 percent lower lifetime carbon pollution today. In 2050, the reduction could be larger, as much as 59 to 71 percent compared to a more efficient CV that achieves 48 miles per gallon in real-world driving, depending on the electricity grid carbon intensity.”
6. Reduced Dependence on Fossil Fuels
India heavily relies on imported crude oil, which is a significant drain on our economy. By promoting the adoption of electric vehicles, we can reduce our fuel usage in India which helps to increase our Indian economy. India’s fuel is depending on major foreign countries which slightly reduces our funds while importing from other countries. India will reduce importing fuels in future while people are merging with electric vehicles.
Recently Russian crude accounted for 40% of India’s oil imports in February
7. Low Maintenance
As we discuss above 2nd point we have very low maintenance due to fewer components in electric vehicles. There is no need to change the engine oil and other things.
8. Increased Convenience
We don’t depend on other locations like petrol stations often when we charge our electric vehicle at home as per our convenience and safety. And we can save more time instead of waiting at traffic and petrol stations.
9. Reduced Health Risks
Traditional vehicles emit harmful gases like carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter, which are major health risks. By using electric vehicles, we can drastically minimize our health risks.
Electric vehicles drastically reduce health risks. Mostly all fuel vehicles expose gases oke, like NOx, Volatile organic compounds, Ozone, Carbon monoxide (CO), Hazardous air pollutants (toxics), Particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5), Carbon dioxide (CO2), Water vapour.
10. Positive Social Image
Finally, electric vehicles have a positive social image, promoting a sustainable and responsible lifestyle. By using electric vehicles, we can contribute to a cleaner environment and set an example for others and a quality future for our children.
Conclusion
n conclusion, electric vehicles offer so many benefits, saving money, a healthy life, a healthy world and the best quality future for our children. We can reduce our carbon footprint, lower running costs, cleaner and healthier environment. With the Indian government’s support gradually increasing public awareness, electric vehicles are becoming most popular in India.
