Content: Considering the scenario, EVs are not witnessing any major growth in terms of adoption and owing to the inadequate advancement in battery technology, these packs can’t be charged as quickly as formerly anticipated and lack of charging stations. Analysts expect battery prices to go up by 20per cent over the coming years, even though the prices of raw materials such are cobalt and lithium are plummeting due to lower demands. Many manufacturers are trying to increase the ratio of energy-dense nickel in the cathode to 80 per cent from 60per cent while reducing the amount of cobalt and manganese. However, since Nickel as metal gets very hot, batteries can catch fire, rendering such EVs commercially unviable. Solid progress in battery technology can bring down the cost of EVs by 30 per cent to 40 per cent, as per a Goldman Sachs report. Despite that, not many consumers would actively purchase such vehicles without adequate subsidies and purchase incentives. The True Ecosystem
In the case of two-wheelers, which essentially are personal mobility products, has a large base in rural regions. Since cost is an important factor here and as huge numbers of jobs are at stake, the transition to any environment-friendly commuting option should be more gradual in nature. In rural India, two-wheelers are often dubbed as veritable instruments of progress. They are providing affordable access and low-cost mobility to millions and in turn, democratising transport - making progress truly inclusive.
