In the last few decades, the environmental impact of peak-based oil-based transport infrastructure has stimulated renewed interest in electrified transport infrastructure. The automotive industry has been preparing for transformation for more than a century. The increase in fossil fuel prices and the impact of emissions on the environment have necessitated a change in individual transport habits. The government wants car manufacturers to switch to electronic vehicle production, which will reduce the oil bill by $ 60 billion, reduce emissions by 37 percent and reduce dependence on fuel imports. It acts as a shield against vulnerability to oil prices and currency fluctuations. However, the main unresolved issue remains the easy availability of charging points at various locations in the city. The switch to electronic vehicle is mandatory in India in the near future, if not in the near future. An attempt is made to examine the different factors that affect a consumers’ adoption of an electric vehicle. This paper aims to know perceptions of individuals in the Saurashtra region towards electric cars and the potential perception and expectations of alternative technologies in the automotive industry such as electric vehicles.
