  Government incentives to encourage electric vehicle adoption

  
  

Rapidly growing pollution across the globe and scarcity of energy resources are likely to push many governments to rely on alternative resources. The governments of different countries have stepped in to support the usage of electric two-wheelers as it helps to regulate the emissions and reduce the traffic congestion situations. For example, the French government provides the highest incentive of USD 1,400 for purchasing cargo e-Bikes. Many European countries include Belgium, Denmark, Norway, etc. are giving tax relaxation for purchasing electric motorcycles which further promote the electric two-wheelers market across the region. Indian government has taken the National Electric Mobility Mission Plan 2020 (NEMMP 2020), the Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan, and the Make in India campaign to promote the electric bikes. Furthermore, the Electric Vehicles Initiative (EVI) is a multi-government policy forum dedicated to accelerating the introduction and adoption of electric bikes worldwide. EVI was launched under the Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM), a high-level dialogue among Energy Ministers from the world’s major economies such as Canada, Chile, China, Finland, France, Germany, India, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, and the United Kingdom and the United States. Therefore, such initiatives will augment the demand for E-bikes in the upcoming years.
