Let’s not consider a series of issues such as costs, profits and taxes.
I think Indians do not yet have the basic conditions to use electric vehicles.
Just as the operation of fuel vehicles relies on gas stations across the country, the operation of electric vehicles also relies on infrastructure: charging piles.

我们先不考虑成本、利润、税收等一系列问题。
我认为印度人还不具备使用电动汽车的基本条件。
正如燃油汽车的运营依赖于全国各地的加油站一样,电动汽车的运营也依赖于基础设施:充电桩。

There are three situations in the countries around the world that can successfully operate electric vehicles:
1. United States
The population density is low, and most families have their own garages and independent houses. They can charge their electric cars in their own homes. When traveling long distances, rely on public charging stations in shopping malls and highway service areas for emergency charging.
2. China
China has built huge public facilities, and China operates more than 800,000 super charging stations. Accounting for 60% of the world. Although many people do not have their own garages and cannot charge at home due to population density, sufficient public facilities ensure this.
3. Europe
The country is small and the driving distance for cars is short. After completing a single charge, the car can basically travel across the entire country and is not highly dependent on charging facilities. There is no need for such large-scale infrastructure.

全球能够成功运营电动汽车的国家有以下三种情况:
1. 美国
人口密度低,大多数家庭都有自己的车库和独立住宅。他们可以在自己家里为电动汽车充电。长途行驶时,可借助商场、高速公路服务区的公共充电站进行紧急充电。
2、中国
中国建设了庞大的公共设施,中国运营着超过80万个超级充电站。占全球的60%。尽管由于人口密度原因,很多人没有自己的车库,无法在家充电,但充足的公共设施保证了这一点。
3.欧洲
国家很小,汽车行驶距离很短。完成一次充电后,汽车基本上可以走遍全国,对充电设施的依赖程度不高。不需要如此大规模的公共基础设施。

India does not meet any of the conditions. It has high population density, tight living conditions, vast territory, weak infrastructure, tight power supply, and no basic conditions for the operation of electric vehicles. An elite with a garage might be able to buy electric cars and charge them, but they won't be able to drive them long distances.
Until the level of development of social facilities in India improves, it is wise to continue using fuel vehicles.

印度不符合任何一个条件。人口密度高,生活条件紧张,地域辽阔,基础设施薄弱,电力供应紧张,不具备电动汽车运行的基本条件。拥有车库的精英或许可以购买电动汽车并为其充电,但他们无法驾驶它们长途行驶。
在印度社会设施发展水平提高之前,继续使用燃油汽车是明智之举。
