“…In addition, the housing ministry has introduced modifications in by-laws to set up EV charging points in building premises (Research and Markets, 2019). Hence addressing the hindrance of the scarcity of land and high rent will ensure smooth adoption of charging infrastructure (Dua et al. , 2021).…”

“…In India, ACMA-McKinsey (Dhawan et al, 2017) reported EV charging infrastructure in India less than 500 EV charging stations until 2016.

A concrete deployment plan starting from charging locations till the establishment of a power grid with renewable energy and a total supply chain will be critical in building an EV charging infrastructure network in India (Dhar et al, 2017;Gupta and Saini, 2018;Dixit, 2020;Goswami and Tripathi, 2020).…”

PurposeThe study identifies the challenges of developing the “electric vehicle (EV)” charging infrastructure in India, having an ambitious target of 30% EV adoption by 2030.Design/methodology/approachFirst, a systematic literature review determined EV adoption and challenges in the EV charging infrastructure development globally and specifically in India. Secondly, a focussed group study in which 10 domain experts were consulted to identify additional challenges in India's EV adoption involving EV charging infrastructure.FindingsAccordingly, 11 significant challenges of EV charging infrastructure development in India have been identified–seven through the comparative analysis of the literature review and four from the focussed group study. Secondary data provides insight into the situation around developed countries and in developing countries, specifically in India. Finally, the Government of India's measures and priorities to facilitate such a development are emphasised.Research limitations/implicationsThe study can help policymakers/researchers understand the gaps and align measures to address the challenges. A focussed group study may have its limitations due to the perception of the experts.Originality/valueThe systematic literature review of 43 articles using comparative analysis and subsequently a focussed group study of experts to verify and add challenges has made the study unique.

Transportation systems worldwide heavily depend on fossil fuels, contributing to environmental issues, global emissions, and rising temperatures. Electric vehicles (EVs) offer a sustainable alternative to reduce carbon emissions. Countries, including the United States, China, Norway, and Germany, incentivize EV adoption to mitigate environmental and economic concerns. However, challenges such as limited range, extended charging times, infrastructure gaps, and higher upfront costs hinder widespread adoption. This study assesses EVs' technological advancements and reliability while analyzing India's incentives to promote their rapid adoption. A comparative analysis of India's EV policies with other nations has been presented, along with policy recommendations.

The emerging economies are moving toward electric vehicles (EVs), which are much sustainable means of transportation. However, many social, economic, and technological blockades of EV mobility remain to be addressed. The study investigates social, economic, and technological blockades for e‐mobility in an emerging economy and simultaneously concentrating on their existing and future business implications. Identification of e‐mobility blockades is obtained through literature review and consensus of the experts. Kappa analysis is used to strain the priority map of the mentioned blockades on the basis of developing consensus among experts. Thereafter, a multi criteria decision making approach that is, best‐worst method is adopted to rank the identified potential blockades. The study models the social, economic, and technological blockades of EV mobility in context of emerging economy. To cater blockades in a desired sequence, the study further suggests the ranking sequence of blockades to enhance e‐mobility toward sustainable development. The findings from the study reveals that “costs associated with EVs and “the lack of government policies, standards, and regulations” are the most important blockades to sustainable EV adoption. Thus, the organizations and the Government need to find ways to reduce the cost of EVs and simultaneously should plan and develop policies to enhance EV adoption and to reduce the usage of gasoline vehicles. The third most important blockade that is, “low demand due to undetermined sustainable benefits” indicates that there is an urgent need to spread awareness among the consumers about the sustainable benefits for the adoption of EVs. Further, the sensitivity analysis reveals that sensitivity range for weightage of the group of academicians lies between 0.3 and 0.7 on a scale of 1. If more weightage is provided to the practical scenario, it is discovered that “location of charging station (BEV4)” is more important than “lack of flexible distribution network (BEV2)” to enhance the amount of EV adoption in India. The study provides insights to practitioners dealing with e‐mobility in emerging economies, showing the appropriate sequence of the blockades to help them build up strategies to mitigate these blockades.
