Tata's to launch Electric Indica by 2011: Are Electric cars the best option for the country?

Yes i think this will provide us an alternate and reduce our dependency on conventional fuels. i also agree will mr. kailash that there are some concern during long distance drive but there are huge  numbers of people who come in the category of city drives and if only that adopt these vehicles there will be balance between petrol/diesel vehicles and other alternate fuel vehicles.So i think this trend will be beneficial in point of view of environment & less dependency on conventional fuels.

Everyday we r seeing Reva the electric car electirfying our roads. As the fossil fuel is diminishing and  India is one of the larger buyers , we must look for alternatives. The options we r havin is the electric car. So the TATAs the renowned Indian car maker coming into the industry will only boost the industry and  the interest in the people. Also we may look fwd to a more greener Indian roads

Electric and other Hybrid technology based cars are the future if we are looking for a eco friendly vehicles. But the downside is - is the government supporting the manufacturers with these initiatives. Look at Reva manufactured out of India but they dont get a subsidy here but some of the European nations have preferred to give them a subsidy to make it commercially feasible option to buy. And also we are still manufacturing electricity by burning dirty fuels like coal so there should be a trade off - does the consumer needs to be clean or the government

Yes India should concentrate now more on greener vehicles and EVs are the best option for now as bio diesel is not a viable option as that conflicts with agricultural land use, so EVs are going to havppen soon, and in future we will see more EVs in days ahead to come.
