Highlights

    EVs are the future of transportation but there is still a long way to go to achieve the kind of results that we are aiming for. When it comes to the efficiency of an electric vehicle, it is still considered to be lower than their fuel-based counterparts. EVs usually need to be charged for long hours and have lower speeds which makes the buyer uncomfortable to select an EV. There are also many gaps in terms of the infrastructure that we require to sustain electric vehicles. However, the environmental impact is more than enough to cover all the drawbacks.

    Moreover, private and government organizations are encouraging the youth to come up with technology that can improve the current scenario with EVs. Over the past few years many electric vehicle championships have started taking place in India. Some of these are only for students and allow for new ways of thinking and developing electric vehicle technology so that it can be adopted easily. Here are a few of the top electric vehicle championships in India:
