Abstract :
As per The World Economic Forum ReportIndia has six out of top ten most polluted cities in the
world and Air pollution kills over a million Indians every
year. In 1885 when, an Otto four-stroke gas engine
modified to run on petroleum vapour by Gottlieb Daimler
at this time no one thought that this invention would affect
the environment badly one day by emitting the harmful
gases in environment by combustion. Rapid growth in
urban population and sprawling of cities over a period of
time has led to devastating changes in the overall mobility
pattern. In addition to this, the wrong notion of social
status continuously provides ammunition for owing more
personalized vehicles. All these have triggered
innumerable environmental and social impacts in terms
of air and noise pollution, as per emission inventory for
road and transport in India- Globally the transport sector
is responsible for 25% of total carbon dioxide (CO2)
emissions from fuel combustion in 2018, India's
transportation sector contributes about 10 per cent of
total national greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and road
transportation contributes about 87 per cent of the total
emissions in the sector.2
, cities/countries have decided to
reduce their carbon footprint by going electric. India has
also pledged to go completely electric by 2030. With this
continuous trend of electrification and declining fuel
economy, experts believe that the automobile industry will
be continued with the battery used vehicles and by the
next decade, almost all the vehicles will be converted into
electric vehicles. This paper has tried to explore whether
the transformation to electric mobility will be a solution
in achieving enhanced mobility options with a green
future or another disruption in the transportation sector,
future and challenges for E-Vehicles in India. The aim of
this paper is to focus on the environmental impacts of the
transformation of the mobility pattern to electro- mobility
systems.
