ABSTRACT:
As the threat level of climate change rises, any contribution towards its mitigation is essential. A majority of the top 10 most polluting cities in the world are in India. Air pollution is a major cause of severe disease and health related problems for the people of India. Vehicular traffic accounts for approximately 29% of the total air pollution in the country and this number is likely to increase as India moves from being the 5th largest to the third largest automobile market in the world. (Express News Service, 2019) A proposed solution to the greenhouse gas emitting internal combustion engines is electric vehicles. A major benefit of electric cars is their contribution to improving urban airquality by reducing emissions that occur over the life of the car.
