Maruti Suzuki: Charging Infrastructure Crucial for EV Boom
Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming more popular, but there are still hurdles.
Maruti Suzuki says more charging stations are needed to help people feel comfortable.
Even though EVs can go farther on a charge now, many people are hesitant to make them their only car.
Sales are growing, but not as fast as they could, and Maruti Suzuki is working on new models and charging options.
Maruti Suzuki says public charging infrastructure is key for faster EV adoption.
EVs accounted for 4.5% of overall passenger vehicle sales in July.
Retail EV sales in July rose 93% year-on-year to 15,528 units.
Consumers hesitate to use EVs as their sole household car due to range anxiety.
Maruti Suzuki plans to launch its first EV, the e-Vitara, and expand charging facilities.
