Exited to see this great signal for innovation and investments.
Policy optimism is real, but key EV adoption bottlenecks still remain:
💰 Affordability – High upfront costs vs ICE
Charging infra & Battery swapping -Â availability, speed, reliability, standardized connectors.
Consumer awareness – Range anxiety, resale concerns
Skill gap – Trained workforce for EV design, service, safety
Supply chain – Battery materials, semiconductors, localization, rare earth magnets
Grid readiness – Load management, renewable integration making EVs relatively more greener.
These will define how fast EVs truly scale ⚡
I feel we are not solving these real user problems.
So Still, ICE ecosystem isn’t disappearing anytime soon until these issues are solved.
Gadkari’s signal on ICE’s end—real EV shift or accelerated announcements? 🤔
What should industry / engineers / policymakers focus on next?
