在印度，因為空氣汙染致死的人數與吸菸致死的人數幾乎相等
空氣汙染每年造成約120萬人死亡
印度因為蓬勃的經濟發展，而成為世界上第三大石油進口國，每年必須花掉1500億美金
而2030年開始只販售電動車的措施，將可節省下600億美元的花費
並且降低數百萬印度車主的用車成本
印度能源部長表示，前兩三年政府將會在財政上支持電動車市場
不過在此之後電動車市場的成長將會由消費需求所驅動而不需補貼
這篇新聞首先就提到了空氣汙染在印度是多嚴重的問題，甚至比中國還要嚴重
而禁售燃油車也是為了解決空氣問題的必要手段
世界上只有少數地區能像北歐那樣有良好的公民素質跟健全的政府可以去支持先進的政策
更多的是像中國跟印度這樣遭遇嚴重的問題而不得不採取各種政策去解決問題
光是每年120萬死亡人數以及經濟損失
空氣汙染問題對印度來說已經算的上是一場另類戰爭了
雖然出發點與先進的北歐國家不同，但終歸都是做出了要消滅道路上汙染排放源的決定
在能源供給上也是拼了命往太陽能等再生能源發展
目標是在2027年達到53%非化石燃料發電量佔比
(來源：http://e-info.org.tw/node/201919 )
搭配上發展電動車政策，從源頭以及末端消滅空氣汙染
而台灣為了2025非核家園的口號
現在的規劃是在2025年實現再生能源占20％、天然氣50％、燃煤30％的發電結構
等於石化燃料佔比是80％
兩相對照一下印度跟台灣的能源政策以及電動車規劃...
感覺我們落後太多了

Every car sold in India from 2030 will be electric, under new government
plans that have delighted environmentalists and dismayed the oil industry.
It’s hoped that by ridding India’s roads of petrol and diesel cars in
the years ahead, the country will be able to reduce the harmful levels of
air pollution that contribute to a staggering 1.2 million deaths per year.
India’s booming economy has seen it become the world’s third-largest
oil importer, shelling out $150 billion annually for the resource – so a
switch to electric-powered vehicles would put a sizable dent in demand
for oil. It’s been calculated that the revolutionary move would save the
country $60 billion in energy costs by 2030, while also reducing running
costs for millions of Indian car owners.
India’s Energy Minister Piyush Goyal says the government will
financially support the initiative for the first two or three years, but
the production of electric vehicles will be “driven by demand and not
subsidy” after that.
More than a million people die in India every year as a result of
breathing in toxic fumes, with an investigation by Greenpeace finding
that the number of deaths caused by air pollution is only a fraction less
than the number of smoking-related deaths.
The investigation also found that 3% of the country's gross domestic
product was lost due to the levels of toxic smog.
In 2014, the World Health Organization determined that out of the 20
global cities with the most air pollution, 13 are in India.
Efforts have been made by the country’s leaders to to improve air
quality, with one example coming in January 2016 when New Delhi’s
government mandated that men could only drive their cars on alternate
days depending on whether their registration plate ended with an odd or
even number (single women were permitted to drive every day).
While such interventions have enjoyed modest success, switching to a
fleet of purely electric cars would have a much greater environmental
impact.
Indeed, it’s been calculated that the gradual switch to electric
vehicles across India would decrease carbon emissions by 37% by 2030.
As India’s ambitious electric vehicle plans begin to take shape, oil
exporters will be frantically revising their calculations for oil demand
in the region.
In its report into the impact of electric cars on oil demand, oil and gas
giant BP forecast that the global fleet of petrol and diesel cars would
almost double from about 900 million in 2015 to 1.7 billion by 2035.
Almost 90% of that growth was estimated to come from countries that are
not members of the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
Development), such as India and China.
China is also gearing up for a move away from gas-guzzling cars.
Last month, the Chinese confirmed they intend to push ahead with plans
that will see alternative fuel vehicles account for at least one-fifth of
the 35 million annual vehicle sales projected, by 2025.
Oil bosses claim it’s too early to tell what the implications of a move
away from petrol and diesel cars will be. However, Asia has long been the
main driver of future oil demand and so developments in India and China
will be watched extremely closely.
