In view of climate change considerations, the Government of India is putting all efforts and asking the auto manufacturers to reduce the internal combustion engine driven vehicles and increase the electric vehicles on the Indian roads. The Government has announced that 30 per cent of all the vehicles must be electric by 2030 and has also made policies related to the charging infrastructures required. But there will be millions of e-buses, private e-cars and e-cabs, mostly concentrated in large/metro cities; and that would demand enormous power to be supplied to these cities. By computations of power demand in 2030 for e-buses, private e-cars, e-cabs, e-rickshaws and e-scooters, this paper proposes to highlight this aspect of power demands of electric vehicles on major cities, which has not been covered in any technical literature so far, especially for the Indian National Grid.
