Assam Lags in EV Readiness, Lacking Charging Infrastructure
A new report shows that Assam is not doing very well in getting ready for electric cars.
Even though more and more electric three-wheelers are being used, the state needs more places to charge the cars and incentives to encourage people to buy them.
This means that Assam is behind other states in making it easy for people to switch to electric vehicles.
Assam ranks low on EV readiness due to poor charging infrastructure, according to a Niti Aayog report.
Assam's overall rank for EV adoption, charging infrastructure, and EV technology is 27th among states.
Assam has the highest commercial EV adoption rate, but lacks charging infrastructure.
Assam has a poor private EV adoption rate, ranking 29th among states.
Over 85% of three-wheelers registered in Assam in 2024 are electric, driven by strong incentives.
