KARNATAKA has taken the lead in the electric vehicle ecosystem network in India — it has the highest number of 5,765 public charging stations, which account for 23 per cent of the national total.
The state also ranks among the top three in the sale of electric vehicles (EVs), contributing to 9 per cent of India's total sales in 2024. Karnataka recorded sales of over 1.7 lakh EV units, the maximum being two- and three-wheelers. "This unprecedented growth in EV sales and charging infrastructure in 2024 sets a strong foundation for Prime Minister's Electric Drive Revolution in Innovative Vehicle Enhancement (PM's E-Drive) scheme to accelerate the shift toward a sustainable and net-zero future," said the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) report released on Friday.
