The future of mobility certainly looks electric with the policies being developed around EVs by state and central governments.
In the latest development, the Haryana Government has given its approval for the Electric Vehicle Policy 2022. Various state governments are willingly showing participation in this EV race in order to facilitate mass adoption. There are numerous incentives and subsidies offered to EV buyers to make the overall buying experience a bit more inexpensive. As we all know, one of the biggest hurdles in the mass adoption of EVs at the moment is the very high initial price. If the government aids in that regard, more people will become open to this idea.
