Electric vehicles are considered cleaner depending on the type of vehicle and the source of the electricity it uses. For example, some battery electric vehicles which derive energy from sources such as solar, wind, nuclear, or hydropower have zero CO2 emissions.
If the vision turns into reality, it could not only be India’s chance to become leaders in EV (electric vehicle) technology globally but also save 876 million metric tons of oil and 1 giga-tonne of carbon-dioxide emissions by 2030.
