Re:Toyota CEO talks about why he isn’t all-in on EVs by King-Aaron on Sunday October 02, 2022 @09:45PM (#33062499)
While they are starting to sell more EVs in India, as soon as you travel even half an hour outside of a major city the infrastructure gets... rather average. While people who live in New Delhi will be able to charge their car, that's not the case in the majority of the country.

It's way easier to charge your EV in rural areas using local small scale wind/solar/hydro than it is to lug around immense amounts of liquid fuel to said remote areas.

You don't need hectares of panels to charge an electric rickshaw or a scooter.
