Based on Uber's history, they'll probably cook up some scheme to fraudulently register combustion vehicles as electric or find some other shady way around the regulation.
Hence the realistic goal of 40% by 2026, that should be enough to setup the charging infrastructure and also to be able to complete the power plants (nuclear,solar, hydro) under construction.
Grandstanding about doing something is very different from actually doing it. Grandstanding is free. That is what this 'reported order' is. To some extent it's the government's job to do this kind of PR, but we don't have to buy it hook line and sinker.
When the government does something concrete to boost the infrastructure, I will be the first to applaud.
"So far, the incumbent government has constructed a total of 28,531 km national highways since FY 2014-15, contrasting with 16,505 km by the previous government up to FY 2013-14, a clear gain of an astounding 12,026 kms, the Financial Express reported."
I thought you talked about physical infrastructure (roads and highways) needed for cars to ply on. After re-reading your comment I realised you are talking about infrastructure needed specifically for electric cars (like charging stations). My bad! Apologise for that!
Either ways, I don't see how the Government can help in this! Isn't this the prerogative of the companies manufacturing their EV to setup? The only place where Government can help is providing land and electric power for these charging stations. That should not be a big deal.
