Electric cars are gaining massive recognition around the world. Not only with personal passenger vehicles, but also with public transportation such as school buses and transit buses going the electric way. Rising emissions and sharp increases in fuel prices have led to the need for battery-powered cars. Also, there are quite a few benefits to these. To name a few, there is the preservation of the climate and helping to combat the climate crisis, the reduction of the carbon footprint, the ease of shipping, etc. India has also recognized these benefits and is seeing an increasing availability of Electric Cars. The country's auto giants are trying to carve a niche at the top of this newly established market.
