Brief about the report/data:
The technology for electric two-wheelers has now reached a critical stage of development, and several manufacturers have launched marketable models. In this scenario, a bottom-up estimate of the annual growth of the use of electric two-wheelers would provide crucial information about the necessary infrastructure, manufacturing capacity, policy initiatives, and technological development objectives.
This forecast report contains a jointly developed agent-based tool to estimate the penetration of electric two wheelers in India. The basic tenet of this tool is to simulate the decisions of the buyers. The tool is further used to assess multiple possible scenarios in the EV penetration in the market.
