Carbon load of electricity generation, night-time charging restricting climate benefits of EVs: new study
The study says that while greater renewable integration in power generation would improve the climate benefits of EVs in due course, government intervention is needed to ensure a shift towards day-time charging of EVs in the short term.
While India records an impressive growth in the number of electric vehicles (EV), the climate benefit of EV usage are not being fully realised, primarily due to continued dependence on coal for power generation and night-time charging of EVs.
