EV Boom in Full Swing: What’s Fueling It?

FADA President CS Vigneshwar shared that government schemes like the PM e-Drive, more investments in local EV tech, and rapid charging infrastructure rollout are major reasons behind this solid growth.
Also, the rising fuel prices, insane maintenance costs of ICE vehicles, and growing climate consciousness are pushing people towards EVs.

“EV adoption isn’t just a trend now. It’s a movement,” says Vigneshwar. “We’re seeing it across two-wheelers, rickshaws, even buses!”

Electric Cars Nearly Double in Sales – That’s Wild!

Let’s be honest, electric cars in India always had the “luxury toy” tag. But not anymore.

  • e-PVs (electric passenger vehicles) sales rose nearly 80% year-on-year!
  • From 7,323 units in June 2024 → to 13,178 units in June 2025.
  • Their share in total EV sales grew from 2.5% to 4.4%.

This means regular folks are finally seeing EVs as practical family rides — not just eco showpieces.

Two-Wheelers Still the King, But It’s Evolving Fast

India = Two-wheelers country. That won’t change soon. But the kind of two-wheelers people want is changing big time.

  • Electric 2-wheeler sales hit 1,05,355 units, up 31.69%.
  • They now make up 7.3% of all two-wheeler sales, up from 5.8% last year.

Scooter brands like Ola Electric, Ather, TVS iQube, and Bajaj Chetak are winning hearts — and charging points are finally popping up in smaller towns too.

“Two-wheeler market was shaky last year, but June 2025 showed real comeback vibes,” Vigneshwar noted.

Electric Rickshaws? Still the Real MVPs

This one’s a no-brainer. If you’ve been in any Indian town lately, you’ve definitely seen battery rickshaws EVERYWHERE.

  • EV 3-wheeler sales: 60,559 units
  • That’s 60.2% of the total EV market!
  • Up from 55.4% share in June 2024

Last-mile delivery? Urban rideshare? Local transport? They’re all being quietly taken over by electric 3-wheelers.

Commercial EVs Grow 122.5% – The Surprise Winner

This one’s the dark horse — and it’s sprinting.

  • Sales of electric commercial vehicles (trucks, buses, delivery vans) went from 515 to 1,146 units.
  • That’s a 122.5% increase, making it the fastest-growing EV segment of June 2025.

    Fleet owners are realizing the benefits — lower fuel costs, reduced maintenance, and silent operations. Plus, with city pollution rules tightening, it’s not just smart — it’s necessary.
