Electric VehiclesEVs Need Charging Infra More Than Subsidiesedit
The government should set up charging stations in large numbers rather than granting subsidy for greater adoption of electric vehicles, the Economic Survey indicated.

Back to costs for the consumer. There is one thing about the mad push for electric vehicles that I find disconcerting that even massive reductions in taxes and registration charges will not fix. The huge fixed costs of batteries. In a four-wheel electric car, the battery costs make up between 50-70 per cent of the overall vehicular costs. In a twowheeler, the battery will make up between 70-90 per cent of the cost, because really metal and plastics are not that expensive.
