No longer a distant vision, EV adoption has become a tangible force reshaping transport, infrastructure, and consumer habits. With electric vehicles now present in 65% of Indian pin codes and used as primary vehicles by 84% of owners , the shift towards sustainable mobility is well underway.Adoption and Usage TrendsThe report reveals EV owners in India are driving an average of 1,600 km per month , 40% more than their internal combustion counterparts. They use their EVs 27 days a month , underscoring the impact of lower running costs and growing public charging access. Road coverage now extends to over 95% of India’s motorable network , enabling long-distance travel on key corridors like Delhi–Manali and Mumbai–Goa without range anxiety.Notably, half of TATA.ev owners have completed trips over 500 km , often incorporating planned charging stops at restaurants, dhabas, and rest areas — an emerging travel pattern that blends convenience with sustainability.Charging Infrastructure GrowthBetween 2023 and mid-2025, India’s public charging network quadrupled to 24,000 stations , achieving 91% National Highway coverage within 50 km. Thirteen states and union territories, including Karnataka, Kerala, and Delhi, have reached 100% NH fast-charger coverage .TATA.ev has introduced hexbin mapping and GPS-based spatial analysis to identify underserved regions and strategically expand the network. This data-driven approach is closing coverage gaps in both metropolitan and highway locations, making long-range EV travel increasingly seamless.Commercial Viability & UtilizationThe top 25% of chargers in India now exceed profitability thresholds, proving that fast charging can be commercially viable with the right scale and standardization. 35% of TATA EV owners use fast charging monthly , up from 21% in 2023, while 77% have taken trips requiring public charging . Partnerships formed under TATA.ev’s Open Collaboration Framework have added 18,000 chargers in just 15 months , highlighting the power of collective action in scaling infrastructure.Ongoing ChallengesDespite strong progress, the report acknowledges persistent obstacles. Nearly half of public chargers are non-functional , with 38% of customers citing reliability as a key barrier. Charger discovery remains fragmented, with users often juggling 17–20 different apps to locate and pay for services. Payment friction persists, particularly for chauffeur-driven vehicles and elderly users.TATA.ev’s SolutionsTo tackle these issues, TATA.ev has rolled out multiple innovations:.ev Verified Chargers : A curated network meeting 90%+ reliability, positive reviews, and location suitability.
