Battery of issues plagues e-cars

Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari's ultimatum to the auto industry to shift to non - polluting
alternatives ("whether they like or not") or get bulldozed has raised concerns among carmakers on the feasibility of the government's plan to have
all new cars powered by the electric engine by 2030

Gadkari also made it clear that he would go after diesel vehicles warning the industry not to complain of unsold inventory later.

To achieve the target, the industry says manufacturers have to sell 10-15 million electric cars in 2030, which is eight to ten times the sales of such vehicles in the world in 2030.
