Bengaluru's electric car registrations surge in 2023
Bengaluru's impressive growth in electric car registrations is attributed to its tech-savvy workforce, better road infrastructure, and a robust EV ecosystem. Ravi G Bhatia, President and Director of JATO Dynamics India, also highlighted the role of subsidized electricity for charging and widespread public charging stations, in driving this growth. These factors have contributed to Bengaluru's significant lead in electric car registrations in India.
