Changeover from fossil fuels to Solar PV is a need in today’s world to limit emissions & protect the environment. India is blessed with good potential for Solar PV. The target of 100GW of Solar Power by 2022 has been set by Govt. of India. Transportation sector in India is a major consumer of imported petroleum products leading to emissions & a drain in foreign exchange. Electric vehicles are one of the ways to overcome this. As numerically 2 & 3-wheelers make up around 84% of all vehicles in India, impact of changeover to e-vehicles in this segment is significant. This paper attempts to analyse the potential of Solar PV for charging the electric 2 & 3-wheelers in India. It also studies the impact, advantages & challenges related to the concept.
