India to switch to electric vehicles by 2030
An ambitious program is to promote electric mobility in India. With financial incentives, every vehicle in the country is to be replaced by an electric vehicle by 2030.
The Indian government has set itself the goal of strongly promoting electromobility: By 2030, every vehicle in the country should be electric. This is reported by the India Times.
The incentive program will operate entirely without financial support from the government, according to Energy Minister Piyush Goyal: The idea is that buyers will not have to make a down payment on a new vehicle, and their installments will match the amount they save by not using expensive gasoline. The program is not yet a done deal, however.
India is the third largest vehicle market in Asia and suffers from heavy air pollution from fossil-fuel vehicles.
