Electric mobility presents a viable alternative in addressing these challenges, when packaged with innovative pricing solutions, appropriate technology and support infrastructure and thus, has been on the radar of Government of India. Electric mobility will also contribute to balancing energy demand, energy storage and environmental sustainability. Electric Vehicles (EVs) could help diversify the energy needed to move people and goods thanks to their reliance on the wide mix of primary energy sources used in power generation, greatly improving energy security. Thanks to their storage capacity, they could help support the uptake of clean electricity, enabling greater use of variable renewable in electricity production. If coupled with the decarbonization of the power sector, EVs would also provide major contributions to keep the world on track to meet its shared climate goals.

Electric mobility comes with zero or ultra-low tailpipe emissions of local air pollutants and much lower noise, and, by being one of the most innovative clusters for the automotive sector, can provide a major boost to the economic and industrial competitiveness, attracting investments, especially in countries.

EV industry in India is in nascent stage, with less than 1% share in total vehicle sales.

For uptake of EVs in Assam, the Government of Assam have undertaken multiple initiatives to promote manufacturing and adoption of EVs in Assam. With support of the government, EVs have started penetrating in the Indian market. However, availability of adequate Charging Infrastructure is one of the key requirements for accelerated adoption of EVs in India. BEE has been nominated Assam State Designated Agency (ASDA) as the State Nodal Agency for EV Public
