It is no wonder to
know that a populous country like India features in the list of the top 10 most
polluted countries in the world ever so often. Hence in an effort to reduce the
overall carbon footprint and keep the overall air pollution levels in check,
electric vehicles were first introduced. There cannot be a second opinion in
the fact that electric vehicles are the future of transportation for mankind.
