Electrification of vehicles is regarded as an important intervention to decarbonize the economy in the fight against climate change. India, a signatory of the Paris Agreement on climate change, is pushing hard to promote Electric Vehicle (EV) adoption in the country. As vehicles start running with electric drivetrains fueled by lithium-ion batteries which require recharging, EV is now a new entrant to India’s electricity consumer-basket. AEEE with support from Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation has carried out research and tried to address some key issues in this sector. The study aims to facilitate the development of a framework for determining appropriate tariffs for electric vehicle (EV) charging in India. Recognizing the need to demystify the EV tariff landscape, the researchers at AEEE have carried out a detailed study bringing to the fore some key aspects of EV tariff design that contributes to the discourse around tariff-setting and regulations.
