Abstract :As a developing country, India is about to commence the most enthusiastic electric-car transformation in the transportation sector. India is planning to be the first all-electric vehicle country by 2030. Compared to previous years, a booming in electric vehicle sale is clearly visible in the vehicle markets. However, the question is whether India is equipped to welcome this transformation. The purpose of electrification of a vehicle is to ensure a pollution-free transportation. As per the latest reports, out of the 300 GW of electricity produced in India, 80% is from thermal power plants. The pollution contribution by thermal power plants is unquestionable. So the cause of vehicle electrification is violated at this point. Apart from that, the grid effects of plugged in hybrid vehicles is another major issue. As India lies in a geographical condition of high solar energy exposure, integration of renewable energy to the charging stations, grid and facilitating the V2G implementation will support this endeavor as well as help to establish a sustainable transport system. This paper presents a case study of impacts and challenges of vehicle electrification venture in India. In the proposed renewable energy powered wireless charger system according to the Indian model, efficiency of 94% achieved, which can replace the present grid based wired charger used in India. The findings and statements are validated with PSIM simulations and data published from Govt. of India.
