India is included for the first time in the second annual EV Index released by HERE Technologies and SBD Automotive.

HERE Technologies, the premier provider of location data and technology solutions, has collaborated with SBD Automotive, a global leader in automotive research, to introduce an Electric Vehicle (EV) Index for India. The unveiling took place in alignment with World EV Day on September 9. This index evaluates and ranks several Indian states and union territories according to crucial metrics that influence the adoption and practicality of EVs.

The ranking for the top states and territories in the HERE-SBD EV Index are as follows:

Chandigarh
Goa
Delhi
Maharashtra
Karnataka
Conversely, the states and territories at the lower end of the index are 25. Arunachal Pradesh 26. Assam 27. Bihar 28. Jharkhand 29. Sikkim

The EV Index provides a comprehensive analysis based on data from 2023 and 2024, covering all-electric vehicles, including two- and three-wheelers. It evaluates the state of EV infrastructure and adoption across India based on several metrics, each contributing to a total score of 100 points. These metrics include the density of public EV chargers per road length, the average power capacity of these chargers, the proportion of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) compared to internal combustion engine vehicles, and the availability of chargers relative to the number of registered EVs.

Highlights from the index show Chandigarh leading with a score of 81.9, thanks to its Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Deployment plan that offers incentives for EV purchases and charging infrastructure installation. Chandigarh has achieved not only the highest score overall but also the most chargers per BEV, with 148 chargers for 179 BEVs.

Rajasthan is noted for the highest percentage of BEVs within its vehicle fleet, while Uttar Pradesh has the largest BEV fleet, indicating its significant influence on India’s shift toward electric mobility. Delhi has improved its charger infrastructure, boasting one charger for every 12.5 km of road, thereby reducing range anxiety for EV drivers.

In terms of charger power capacity, Manipur scores well, although it has only one documented charger, pointing to an uneven distribution of resources and a need for further investment to expand accessibility. Chandigarh stands out again for its average charger power capacity of 46 kW across 148 chargers.

Robert Fisher from SBD Automotive emphasized the collective effort of automakers, energy firms, and governments in developing essential EV charging infrastructure, highlighting the importance of coordination and consumer education to match EV demand with the supply of vehicles and chargers.

Abhijit Sengupta from HERE Technologies remarked that the 2024 HERE-SBD EV Index is instrumental for informed decision-making in the Indian electric mobility sector, encouraging data-driven decisions that will hasten EV adoption in the region.

This index also marks its introduction in India, with its findings extending to the US and Europe for the second consecutive year, offering insights into the progressive electric mobility landscape in these crucial markets.
