By 2030, India could have 50 million electric vehicles on its roads, but building the 1.32 million charging stations needed to support them is an enormous challenge. Despite government efforts, the country’s fragmented charging ecosystem and lack of automaker investment risk slowing EV adoption.

We dive into the “chicken-and-egg” dilemma of EV growth and charging availability and what it will take to convince the next wave of buyers to go electric.
