EV sector is a challenge and an opportunity: ARAI director

Rashmi Urdhwareshe, Director of Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) said that when it comes to electric mobility one has to be mindful of the consumer readiness and reliability must be ensured in terms of electric vehicles. If all these (factors) including cost are thought of, then there are definitely a lot of opportunities in this sector, she said.

She was speaking in a seminar organised by MCCIA on ‘Emerging trends in electric mobility’.

“Electric mobility is definitely an opportunity and presently it is very relevant. We all are suffering from air pollution. Also, there is a need to reduce import of oil. The opportunities and challenges need to be clearly identified to be sustainable in this sector.
