Transport sector accounts for about 20% of global energy use with around 25–30% emissions resulting from vehicles alone. Electric vehicles (EVs) are considered to be non-polluting and environment friendly substitutes to conventional fuel vehicles because they have a zero tail pipe emissions and electric traction is more efficient than regular engines. A primary survey was conducted across 10 cities (7 tier-1 cities and 3 tier-2 cities) in India and around 6000 sample surveys were administered in order to understand consumer perceptions for EVs. The purpose of the study was to understand current vehicle ownership and driving patterns of consumers, their awareness on EVs, purchase criteria and expectations for EVs, their views on public charging infrastructure and incentives offered by government. It would enable us to understand the drivers for improving acceptance of EVs and estimate their market potential. The survey analysis indicated that over 90% of the consumers travelled within 60 km per day and travel time was less than 2 hours. Also, consumers prioritized basic EV infrastructure as the most important criteria among the others impacting their purchase decision, followed by cost of EV and its performance. More than 50% of consumers favored quick charging option over normal charging option and were willing to pay double price for charging at quick charging stations. Lack of charging infrastructure, high upfront cost, low driving range etc. were found to be main barriers for large scale adoption of electric vehicles.
