Q6. What do you understand by ‘E-Mobility’? How can it help India achieve its ambitious targets of net zero emissions by 2070? Discuss (250 words)

Difficulty level: Easy.

Reference: Insights on India, PIB

Why the question: On July 16, 2024, Professor Ajay Kumar Sood, Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India, launched the “e-Mobility R&D Roadmap for India” at Vigyan Bhawan Annexe, New Delhi. The goal is to make India self-reliant in the e-mobility sector within five years. Key Demand of the question: To define e-mobility and suggest ways for India to achieve net zero emissions by 2070 using it. Directive: Discuss – This is an all-encompassing directive – you must debate on paper by going through the details of the issues concerned by examining each one of them. You must give reasons for both for and against arguments. Structure of the answer: Introduction: Begin by defining e-mobility. Give examples and data for e-mobility in India. Body: First, how e-mobility can help India achieve its target of net-zero emissions. Next, mention the programmes India has implemented. Next, what more needs to be done: – e.g. focus on four areas: Energy Storage Cells, EV Aggregates, Materials and Recycling, and Charging and Refueling. Conclusion: Conclude with a way forward.
