2023 is set to be an exciting year for electric vehicles (EVs). With the push for a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future, many carmakers are getting on board with the trend and introducing new models and updates to existing ones. While in the context of the Indian car market, the electric vehicle (EV) revolution is slowly but surely making its way to India. With the government’s focus on promoting electric vehicles and the growing awareness of their environmental benefits, the country is set to see a surge in EV models by 2023. The upcoming EVs will be more affordable than their predecessors, thanks to the government’s subsidies and incentives. Moreover, the rapid development and improvement in battery technology will make them more efficient and reliable. Leading automakers such as Maruti Suzuki and Mahindra & Mahindra are already making strides in the EV market. Maruti’s WagonR Electric, and Mahindra’s eKUV100, are expected to be big hits. Other automakers such as Hyundai, Tata, and Honda are also planning to launch their EVs in the coming years. The EVs of 2023 will be equipped with advanced features like long-range batteries, fast-charging capabilities, and smart connectivity.
Moreover, the government is also encouraging automakers to adopt green technologies like solar energy, hydrogen fuel cells, and smart grid infrastructure. The rapid adoption of EVs in India is expected to boost the country’s economy, create jobs, and reduce carbon emissions. It is estimated that the number of electric vehicles in India will grow from just 1 million in 2020 to 5 million by 2023. The government’s ambitious plan to make India an all-electric vehicle nation by 2030 is a welcome move. With the launch of new models, India is likely to see a surge in sales of electric vehicles by 2023. This will not only help the environment but also boost the economy and create job opportunities. Here’s a look at a few of the upcoming EVs that will be hitting the roads in 2023.
