A review on the integration of electric vehicles into the power grid and its impact on the energy infrastructure in India

The integration of electric vehicles (EVs) into the power grid has the potential to transform the energy landscape in India, but it also poses significant challenges to the existing infrastructure. This review paper explores the impact of EVs on the energy infrastructure in India and the potential benefits and challenges associated with their integration. Also, the recent discovery of lithium reserves in Jammu and Kashmir is considered in relation to the development of a domestic battery manufacturing industry and the implications for the energy system. The paper examines the key factors that will figure out the success of EV (Electric vehicles) integration in India, including the availability of charging infrastructure, the management of charging demand, and the impact on the power grid. The review draws on a range of sources, including policy documents, academic literature, and industry reports, to supply a comprehensive overview of the current state of EV integration in India and the challenges with opportunities that lie ahead. Ultimately, the paper argues that the integration of EVs into the power grid has the potential to support the transition to a more sustainable and resilient energy system in India, but that careful management and planning will be needed to ensure that the benefits are realized, and the challenges are addressed.
