To accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles, two things need to happen. The first would obviously be the release of accessible and reliable electric vehicles—something that’s been happening at a blistering pace in Asia and in Europe. Alongside this, the development of infrastructure designed specifically to cater to growing EV use must also be rolled out.
It can be argued that the number of electric vehicles is growing at a much faster rate than that of fast-charging infrastructure. This is especially true in Asia, particularly in India. That said, it won’t be long until the lack of charging facilities presents itself as a real problem, especially for electric motorbikes and cars that don’t have removable batteries. This is because users of these vehicles, particularly those living in high-rise condominiums or apartments, might not have the luxury of space to install their own fast chargers.
