by Mansi L. Be happy

Electric vehicles have the potential to reshape the transportation sector. In lieu of this, the government of the National Capital Territory launched the Switch Delhi Campaign to appeal to the citizens of Delhi to shift towards EVs.

This campaign aims to make Delhi the EV capital of India. The government of Delhi is educating the citizens to replace their conventional fuel vehicles with EVs.

Reasons to switch to Electric Vehicles

Electric vehicles will drastically cut carbon emissions and clear the air for significant climate progress.
The running cost of an EV is much lower than an equivalent petrol or diesel vehicle. Electric vehicles use electricity to charge their batteries instead of using fossil fuels like petrol or diesel.
Electric vehicles are more efficient, and that combined with the electricity cost means that charging an electric vehicle is cheaper than filling petrol or diesel for your travel requirements. The transportation sector is one of the highest-emitting sectors and issues ranging from environmental concerns to fluctuating oil prices continue to push consumers toward alternatives to combustion engines.
EVs are easy to drive due to their simple controls
They do not create noise pollution due to the absence of mechanical parts
EVs deliver quick acceleration due to the high torque available from the get-go
EVs will rattle fossil fuel markets, with energy experts anticipating an erosion of oil demand for transportation around the globe.
Electric vehicles are eligible for government-provided subsidies and tax benefits
An Ev does not have a traditional gearbox, which is another distinction from a conventional vehicle. EV works like a car with an automation transmission, eliminating the need to shift gears.
EV technology is much simpler than that of a combustion engine.
