EVs to reach cost parity with ICE in 2 years: Gadkari

The Hindu  

With falling lithium-ion battery prices, electric vehicles can now maintain cost without subsidies but it is for the Finance and Heavy Industries Ministries to decide if incentives need to be given to electric vehicles, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari said on Monday. Speaking at the annual session of Automotive Components Manufacturers Association at New Delhi, Mr. Gadkari, the Minister for Road Transport and Highways, said within two years, the cost of EVs will be the same as petrol and diesel counterparts. Meanwhile, Delhi-based research think tank CMSR Consultancy said 60% of Mumbai’s population was inclined to purchase from companies that transition to electric vehicles. The data in the report titled “Consumer perceptions and insights in the last mile delivery sector for the transition to electric vehicles” found that Pune had the largest share of people expressing interest to buy from companies that transition to EV.
