India's electric vehicle adoption hits new highs in 2025
India's EV scene is buzzing—adoption jumped from just 0.71% in 2020 to a solid 7.5% in 2025.
Registrations soared from under 2 lakh to nearly 20 lakh, showing that electric rides are quickly becoming the new normal.
What's powering this EV boom?
A big push from the government: major incentive schemes like PLI for auto parts and batteries are making it easier (and cheaper) to build EVs right here at home.
The PM E-DRIVE Scheme, launched in 2024, is helping everything from e-bikes to busses and even boosting public charging spots.
Charging up India
Charging stations have exploded—from about 5,000 in early 2022 to over 26,000 now—so range anxiety is fading fast.
With batteries and components being made locally, owning an EV is more affordable and practical than ever for young Indians on the move.
