🚗⚡ EVs Are the Future!
In this episode of The Gobinath Podcast, I sit down with Karthik Palanisamy, Founder & CEO of Zeon Electric Charging, to talk about the real story behind electric vehicles in India — from charging infrastructure and cost efficiencies to battery tech, adoption curves, and the future of mobility.

We dive deep into:
• Why EVs are the inevitable future of cars, two-wheelers, and even heavy commercial vehicles.
• How India’s charging infrastructure compares to petrol pumps and why public charging isn’t a bottleneck.
• Cost comparisons: Public DC chargers vs Home AC charging vs ICE fuel.
• How EV charging works in real life — breaks, charge times, and the Tesla Experience in India.
• EV connectors explained: CCS2, Type-2, Type-6, and why universal compatibility matters.
• Battery management systems, second-life usage, recycling, and sustainable energy cycles.
• Battery swapping decoded: Who benefits and why it exists.
• EV adoption curve: From early adopters to laggards — how EVs are growing exponentially.
• The EV safety revolution in India: From 2021 EV incidents to ARAI regulations.
• Renewable energy’s role in electrification and fighting climate change.
• Why legacy car brands resist EVs — and why the transition is inevitable.
• Karthik’s vision for EVs and infrastructure in India by 2030.

Whether you’re an EV enthusiast, a car owner, or just curious about India’s EV future, this episode is packed with insights, hidden truths, and industry secrets you won’t hear anywhere else.

🔋 Key Takeaways:
• EVs reduce dependency on crude oil while supporting sustainable energy.
• 80% of EV charging happens at home or work — public DC stations complement long drives.
• Battery technology is evolving rapidly: longer life, stationary storage, and recycling value.
• Range anxiety is a myth with proper infrastructure.
• EV adoption is exponential — the future is electric, and it’s here.
