Bihar is racing towards an electric future, and the numbers speak louder than words—demand for electric vehicles (EVs) has skyrocketed by 8x in just five years!

The state has witnessed an unprecedented transformation. Back in 2020, only 12,000 EVs found homes in Bihar. Fast forward to 2024, and this figure has surged past 97,000. The year isn’t over yet, and experts predict sales will cross the one-lakh mark, signaling a tectonic shift in how Biharis view personal mobility.

A Shift Fueled by Rising Awareness and Practical Benefits

Electric vehicles have captured the imagination of the masses, thanks to their lower operating costs, minimal pollution, and stylish designs. With government subsidies making EVs more affordable, the appeal is undeniable. In contrast, the demand for petrol and diesel vehicles has stagnated. Rising fuel prices and hefty maintenance costs are driving buyers away from traditional options.

Even CNG vehicles, which have seen a spike in interest, can’t match the EV boom. Today’s EVs aren’t just economical; they’re packed with advanced features that rival their traditional counterparts. Leading automakers are diving headfirst into this electric revolution, rolling out cutting-edge models that blend efficiency with aesthetics.

Overcoming Early Challenges

Initial concerns about limited charging infrastructure are rapidly becoming a thing of the past. With more charging stations cropping up, including at restaurants and public spaces, long-distance EV travel is now a reality. Innovations in battery technology and a reduction in their costs have further boosted consumer confidence.

Just last year, January saw the sale of 5,022 EVs. This January, sales surpassed that mark by the 15th. By January 18, Bihar recorded a staggering 8,377 EV sales. These numbers tell a story of exponential growth, and the momentum shows no signs of slowing.
