Fig. 7: Demand for batteries by 2030.
From: Electrifying passenger road transport in India requires near-term electricity grid decarbonisation
Under the EV30@30 initiative, India would require between 91 and 125 GWh of batteries to electrify its two-wheelers (2 W), three-wheelers (3 W), and four-wheelers (4 W). High estimate and low estimate are based on the variations in battery sizes deployed in 2 W (2kWh & 3 kWh), 3 W (4.7kWh & 6.6 kWh) and 4 W (30 kWh & 40kWh)43,103. The percentages refer to the share of battery requirements for 2 W, 3 W, and 4 W. Breakdown of sales forecast by 2030 is provided in Supplementary Figure 7 of the supporting document based on data from Council on Energy, Environment, and Water (CEEW) India43.
