Regulatory support, charging infra to aid faster EV adoption in India: Kia

Regulatory support in terms of incentives for personal segment and standardisation of charging infrastructure can help in the faster adoption of electric vehicles in the country, a top Kia India official said on Thursday.

While lauding the Indian government’s efforts to push the electric vehicle segment in the country, the automaker noted that the lack of incentives for buyers in the personal space could lead to slow adoption of such cars in the country.

Currently, the FAME II scheme covers only electric two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and four-wheeled passenger vehicles for commercial usage and goods carrying vehicles.
