There are about 13.34 lakh electric vehicles in India. More than 50% of them are e-autos/e-rickshaws. In comparison, there are 27.81 crore registered non-electric vehicles. While the ratio appears small, it is slowly improving. In FY19, only 0.76% of the total vehicle registrations were electric. The ratio improved to over 4% in FY22. The number of electric vehicles for every 1 lakh non-electric ones crossed the 1,000 mark only in Delhi, Assam and Tripura. There were more than five EV-charging outlets for every 100 petrol pumps only in Delhi, Goa and Chandigarh. The growth of electric vehicles depends on the availability of charging stations and on addressing concerns of safety, including recalling models of e-bikes that caught fire
