Maruti flags lack of EV charging infra
Financial Express Pune
|August 11, 2025
THE ABSENCE OF robust public charging infrastructure is holding back electric vehicles (EVs) from becoming a buyer's first choice, according to Maruti Suzuki India.
Speaking during a media roundtable, Partho Banerjee, Maruti's senior executive officer (marketing & sales), said that while range anxiety has largely been addressed with many new EVs offering up to 500 km on a single charge, the real bottleneck lies in public charging availability and viability.
Banerjee said that though the segment's share has risen from 2.4% to 4.5% in recent years in the country, but an electric is yet to become the primary car for most buyers. He added that the development of public charging infra will be crucial for faster adoption, as driving range anxiety remains a key deterrent.
