Hence, they expect some growth in the electronic Vehicle sector, which can be traveled for long distance during the daytime. Hence, EV manufacturer group such as Hero group, Ashok Tata motors, and Ashok Leyland want the government to focus on Commercial Vehicle space and to provide a huge number of EVs in their fleet.
British Car drivers have to pay extra dollars to power up their car during travel. Well, there are nearly 160,000 battery cars on UK roads, but the increasing plug-in cars have a huge impact on electricity during the peak hours.
