In India, there will be 25 electric automobiles on the road by 2023. The BMW i7, Tata Tigor EV, Mercedes-Benz EQB, Hyundai Ioniq 5, and BYD Atto 3 are well-known electric vehicles.

Any motor vehicle must be operated with a valid driver’s licence. Electric cars are no different. Driving a car without one is prohibited on public roads.

You do not need a driver’s licence to operate an electric two-wheeler with a top speed of up to 25 km/h and a power output of up to 250 watts, though. Students, youths, retirees, and others favour these automobiles because they don’t need to be registered.

All vehicles registered after April 1st, 2019, must have an HSRP by the rules related to the Central Motor Vehicle Rules, 1989. (High-Security Registration Plate). This registration can only be obtained from government agencies, enabling them to keep an exhaustive database of all vehicles and deter theft.

Electric vehicles are now exempt from paying costs for a registration certificate, according to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH).

All EV owners should be happy about this recent move because they won’t have to pay anything to insure or renew their EVs. More electric vehicles are anticipated to be promoted in India as a result of these adjustments to registration fees.

Additionally, the government exempted owners of electric vehicles from paying road charges. As a result, owners of electric cars will undoubtedly benefit by saving money. According to studies, owning an electric vehicle can significantly save your vehicle expenses.

Public charging is the term for outside-the-home charging, which is an essential addition to inside-the-home charging. The sole subject of this article is public charging. Interoperability between charging stations and electric vehicles produced by various automakers is made possible by the standardisation of public charging infrastructure. 

1. Bharat EV Charger AC001 for AC Charging.
2. Bharat EV Charger DC001 for DC Charging.

Financial fines may result from not having your electric car insured under this mandated coverage. However, this plan does not protect the insured vehicle in case of damage. Therefore, it is advised to choose the Comprehensive Insurance Policy because it provides both Own Damage (OD) coverage and Third-Party Insurance Plan benefits.

Aside from factors like location, model variation, and EV age, the cost of the vehicle determines the price of all motor insurance plans. You may assess the cost of insurance for electric vehicles by using the car insurance premium calculator for more information.

According to how much electricity is used as a fuel, there are three main categories of electric vehicles (EVs): battery electric vehicles (BEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs).
