Introduction: Climate is Changing Mobility
Climate change is already impacting:
Urban infrastructure
Transport systems
Energy networks
Extreme conditions like:
Heatwaves
Flooding
Unpredictable weather
Are reshaping how mobility systems must function
From our vantage point as a technology-led organization:
EVs must not just be sustainable—they must be resilient
The Market Gap: EV Growth Without Climate Readiness
India’s climate strategy—supported by Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change—focuses on:
Emission reduction
Clean energy
However:
Limited focus on EV resilience under extreme conditions
Charging infrastructure vulnerable to climate risks
Battery performance affected by temperature
The gap is clear:
EV systems are growing—but not fully climate-adaptive
