The year 2023 represents a crucial milestone in the ever-changing landscape of electric cars (EVs): World EV Day. This worldwide celebration honours the explosive revolution that is transforming our modes of mobility. It is a day when industry stakeholders, visionaries, and innovators gather to reflect on the past and the future.

According to Raaja Kanwar, Chairman & Managing Director, Apollo Green Energy & Apollo Supply Chain, building a robust charging infrastructure is pivotal to develop an ecosystem for EVs.

“As we advance toward a greener tomorrow, it becomes evident that electric vehicles symbolize more than just a technological shift; they signify a profound transformation in our relationship with the environment. On World EV Day, we celebrate the freedom of choice, the ability to reduce emissions, and the capacity to shape a sustainable world. The adoption of electric vehicles is closely tied to the availability of charging infrastructure. Currently, insufficient charging infrastructure represents a significant barrier to the widespread adoption of EVs. Despite ongoing challenges in the charging infrastructure, substantial investments are paving the way for the EV industry to thrive, generating millions of jobs, and aligning with India's commitment to environmental protection. Building a robust charging infrastructure is pivotal, ensuring that this sustainable revolution thrives and reshapes our future,” Kanwar said.

Pankaj Goyal, Co-Founder and COO of AutoNxt Automation, feels that EVs are not just important for greener tomorrow, it is also good for economic growth as demand for EVs is creating jobs.

"Electric vehicle manufacturing is driving a transformative shift in the global economy. As we transition towards sustainable transportation, this industry is not only reducing carbon emissions but also sparking economic growth. The demand for EVs is creating jobs, stimulating innovation, and fostering a cleaner, more resilient future. From the production of batteries to the assembly lines, this sector is a catalyst for economic revitalization. As governments and businesses invest in EV infrastructure and technology, the benefits extend beyond environmental gains; they encompass prosperity, competitiveness, and a sustainable legacy for generations to come. The economic impact of electric vehicle manufacturing goes beyond profit margins; it's about investing in a cleaner, more prosperous future," Goyal summed up.

Mayank Bindal, Founder & CEO, Snap E Cabs - an eco-friendly public electric transport service - said that his team believes that "we are not just driving the change - we are the change."

"In most other companies helping the planet by adopting sustainable practices is undertaken by the CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) wing; While the intent is strong, sometimes execution falters as the goals fail to percolate across the company in a consistent way. However, at Snap-E it would be fair to say that the entire company has imbibed the CSR ethos; We believe that solving some of the most pressing transportation problems for our customers in a profitable way and leading the way to help adopt sustainable practices and helping the planet are not two different goals: there are one and the same," Bindal said.
