Economic Development, Technological Advancements, and the Expansion of Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure in India

Abstract

The global transition from fossil fuel reliant transportation has led to the development of advanced EV markets with India being an important part of this shift. From an economic development perspective, this paper looks into the correlation between economic development, technological push and the deployment of electric vehicle charging stations in India. This seeks to find out how policies, technology and polices that times favourite economics has favoured and what lies in the future of the increase in the number of charging stations for electric vehicles. The study also focuses on the use of public-private partnerships in fast-tracking the charging infrastructure for EVs as a driver of sustainable change towards the climate change goals of India as well as energy diversification.
