The race to transition towards an electrified transportation scenario is gathering steam globally. With the much-anticipated autumn’s climate change event of COP 26 in Glasgow around the corner, stakeholders are rallying around the idea of electric vehicles (EV) in an attempt to mainstream the environmental and economic case for e-mobility solutions across the world.
Different stakeholders and decisionmakers are treading on different paths to further this e-mobility discourse. Governments, including city administrations, are pursuing the route of target announcements and pushing for policies aimed at catalysing the uptake of such vehicles. Recently, the Biden administration announced a target of 50 percent of total vehicle sales to be electric by 2050. Many nations have propounded similar target-based announcements.
