India’s EV revolution is accelerating—but here’s the grid reality:

 EVs need electricity.
 Electricity still relies heavily on thermal power.
 Solar & wind are growing, but remain intermittent.
 BESS isn’t yet ready to replace nationwide 24/7 baseload.

EVs can cut oil imports and urban pollution, but India cannot simply switch off coal overnight.

Decarbonization is an engineering marathon—not an overnight switch.
