EVs emerge as primary choice for 84% of Indian users: Report
India's electric vehicle adoption is undergoing a massive shift, with 84 per cent of EV owners now using their vehicles as the primary mode of transport in 2025, up from 74 per cent as of 2023, as per India Charging Report 2025 by . The study highlighted that EVs are now becoming part of the mainstream, with an average driven monthly running of 1,600 km-- about 40 per cent higher than ICE vehicles. This demonstrates a growing confidence in both technology and its infrastructure. Given the low-running costs, improved reliability, and a rapidly growing public charging network, the owners are reported to drive their EVs 27 days a month, 35 per cent more than the ICE users. 'EVs now traverse over 95 per cent of India's road network,' added the report. Charging infrastructure Despite multiple challenges during the EV adoption journey, suitable infrastructure remains essential to accelerate the growth. According to the report, India has reported a four-fold growth in public charging points since 2023, reaching 24,000 by mid-2025. On national highways, 91 per cent of the stretches now offer a fast charger within a distance of 50km. Karnataka, Kerala, and Punjab have achieved full coverage. The study has also underscored the persisting challenges on the pathway of mass adoption, including unreliable chargers-- about 12,000 public chargers were reported as non-functional as of February 2024 out of 25,000 public chargers till then. Fragmented discovery and payment systems with multiple applications to choose from have also been a major challenge in the journey. The study also underlines the growing significance of fast chargers, with 36 per cent of surveyed customers terming fast charging as a necessity rather than a luxury. The report also highlighted that 35 per cent of owners accessed fast chargers at least once a month, up from 21 per cent two years back.

India's EV Charging Network Expands Significantly, Per TATA.ev Report 2025
New Delhi – India's electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem is rapidly developing. One of the key parts of the nation's green mobility journey is charging infrastructure. recently published India Charging Report 2025 states that the country's climate goals, urban pollution issues, and energy security needs make the shift to EVs essential, not just a goal. As of 2025, EVs have been registered in over 65% of India's pin codes. A staggering 84% of EV owners now use their electric cars as their main mode of transport, up from 74% in 2023. On average, EVs are driving 1,600 km monthly, which is 40% more than internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. This is largely due to their lower running costs and improving public charging infrastructure. report shows that EV users drive their vehicles on 27 days a month. This is 35% more often than ICE owners. With 95% of India's motorable roads now accessible for EVs, the previously widespread range anxiety is decreasing. Notably, half of users have completed long-distance trips of 500 km or more on well-known routes like Delhi-Manali and Mumbai-Goa, with regular charging stops at restaurants and dhabas. India has seen a four-fold increase in public charging stations, reaching 24,000 chargers across highways and urban areas. Using detailed spatial mapping, has pinpointed gaps in fast-charging coverage and identified growth opportunities. Currently, 91% of national highways have a fast charger within a 50 km radius. States like Karnataka, Delhi, Kerala, and Punjab have 100% coverage for NH fast chargers. The study also shows a significant rise in charger usage. About 35% of TATA EV users now depend on fast charging at least once a month, up from 21% in 2023. Additionally, around 77% of users have taken trips that needed public charging. However, challenges still exist. Of the 25,000 public chargers reported in 2024, nearly 12,100 were non-functional, raising concerns about reliability. Users often face difficulties with finding and paying for chargers, sometimes switching between 17 to 20 apps. To tackle this, introduced '.ev Verified' chargers with a reliability rate of over 90%. It also launched a unified platform – and DrivePay, for real-time charger information and easy UPI/RFID payments. The Mega Charger network, which operates at 120 kW with a 95% uptime, enhances access to high-speed charging, with 30 stations currently active and a plan for 500 by 2027. report concludes that while India has made notable progress, ensuring charger reliability, compatibility, and ease of access is crucial for maintaining the momentum of EV adoption.
