What Delhi’s New EV Policy Fails To Address! @askcarguru| Sanket Upadhyay This video features a discussion between Sanket Upadhyay and expert Amit Khare (Ask Car Guru) regarding Delhi's new Electric Vehicle (EV) policy. While the need for an EV policy to combat pollution is acknowledged, the discussion highlights several gaps and concerns in the current implementation. Key Takeaways: Two-Wheeler Mandate: By 2028, all new two-wheeler registrations in Delhi will be required to be electric (1:38-2:30). The experts question whether the city's charging infrastructure can support this rapid transition (2:03-2:10). Neglect of Taxis and Four-Wheelers: A significant criticism is the lack of specific, strong incentives for the commercial taxi sector, which contributes heavily to daily pollution due to high mileage (4:12-5:17). The policy is also viewed as lacking substantial benefits for private four-wheeler owners (5:35-6:05). Infrastructure Gaps: The experts argue that the focus is heavily on registration mandates rather than building the necessary charging ecosystem. Current progress on charging stations is behind targets (6:30-7:30), and issues like non-EVs occupying charging bays remain unaddressed (7:42-7:55). Need for Standardization: A major point of contention is the lack of a standardized charging system for two-wheelers. Unlike electric cars that use CCS Type 2, two-wheelers face fragmented charging solutions and incompatible battery-swapping designs, which the government should mandate to be open and universal (8:28-10:10). Call for Government Leadership: The speakers suggest that the government should lead by example by transitioning its own fleet to electric vehicles before imposing strict mandates on the public (11:43-12:05).
