2. 2025
is ready to get the tag of the Breakthrough Year
✓
A. New Government vision
The government is very determined to push Ev:
FAME III scheme.
Battery Standardization
Policies.
Bharat Charging Standards 2.0 refers to the latest version of these standards
that includes both low-cost AC and DC charging solutions. This includes the Bharat
AC-001 standard for slow charging of small vehicles
and the Bharat DC-001 standard for DC fast charging of two-
and three-wheelers.
· Higher subsidies up to 40% of the cost of the vehicles for electric two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and commercial EVs
· Tax benefits for EV buyers
These reforms are definitely to make EVs more affordable and safer.
✓
B. Expanding Charging Infrastructure
So far the biggest barrier was charging.
India planned to cross 15,000+ public charging stations in 2025, and now the total charging
stations are more than 18000+.
·
More EV charging hubs to be generated
·
Fast-charging corridors on Highways
· Domestic charging units are improving in speed and safety significantly through power output for better efficiency.
There are more than 30 in India setting up thousand of chargers throughout the country, and the main top players in this list like Tata Power, Statiq, ChargeZone, and Jio-BP are setting up thousands of chargers nationwide.
✓
C. Cheaper & Safer Batteries
Battery cost is directly proportional to the battery capacity in kWh.
· Local battery manufacturing is increasing.
· Lithium-ion battery prices are falling.
· New sodium-ion batteries are entering the market.
· All prospects for solid-state battery is being explored.
With solid-state and improved lithium-ion chemistries, what we expect the price to come down to will make EVs more appealing and become accessible for a different range of consumers to ride on it..
✓
D. Entry of Strong Automotive Brands
All existing players, both national and international brands, had their focus towards launching new EV in 2025 and 2026:

E.Cost of Ownership Becomes More Attractive
EV cost per km: ₹1–₹1.5
Petrol vehicle cost per km: ₹7–₹10
Maintenance of EVs is 60% cheaper because:
· No engine oil
· No fuel filters
· Fewer moving parts
With continuous improvement in charging infrastructure, EVs are more appealing now.
3. Challenges to be faced:
Adoption barrier.
People are concerned about charging infrastructure.
Supply constraints due to raw material shortage.
High production cost.
Range Anxiety.
4. EV Segments That is doing the wonders.
🚲
A. Electric Two-Wheelers
Most explosive growth due to:
· Low price
· Easy charging
· Ideal for city commuting
Brands: Ather, Ola, TVS, Hero, Bajaj.
🛺
B. Electric Three-Wheelers
The auto-rickshaw segment already booming due to excellent savings.
2025 showing full dominance.
🚗
C. Electric Cars
Mass-market EVs from Tata and Hyundai making headlines in 2025.
🚚
D. Electric Commercial Vehicles
It’s a win-win situation for delivery vans, cargo vehicles and buses with EV adoption due to the lower operating costs.
5. Future of Transportation in India and EVs Role
Prospects are bright in different multiple ways.
·
Release of fresh cleaner air, especially in big
cities
·
Lower transportation cost
· Reduced dependency on oil imports
· Stronger manufacturing ecosystem
· New job opportunities in EV maintenance, charging, and battery industries
· Boost to tech innovation
2025 is not just a year—it is the start of a new mobility era.
CONCLUSION
2025 is showing the signs for a great shift. With more improved and convenient facilities rising, these are good prospects to see new models enter the market. The rising awareness about environmental threats is inspiring the people to embrace electric mobility at a very fast pace. We may experience some challenges, but that is the part of the business for improving conditions.
