Earth Day: Establish your Green Quotient – Transition to Electric Vehicles from ICEs…!

As the world grapples with the challenges of Climate Change, globally the respective Governments’ administrative machineries are working towards measures to minimise the use of causative agents of pollution and adopt alternate means of environment conservation.

Human activity is causing unprecedented, and sometimes irreversible Climate Change, explains, The Assessment Report (AR6) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). On the other hand, “India has the world’s worst air quality. In 2020, even during the Covid crisis with national and state lockdowns, 36 cities out of 50 cities which had unhealthy levels of air quality were from India.” According to the World Health Organisation (WHO).

 Collective Approach

There is growing consciousness of the alarming situation, and collectively the Indian Government and citizens are playing their part to control the concerns of Climate Change. Keeping in view the climate change commitments made by the Government during the COP21 Summit, to reduce emission intensity by 33% – 35% by 2030 from 2005 levels, introducing alternate means to travel in the transport sector is crucial. There is gradual shift to Electric Vehicles from ICEs being observed owing to increasing awareness of the impact of high pollution levels.

MG ZS EV – The Preferred Choice

The move to Electric Vehicles is most visible among ‘Morris Garages’ (MG Motor) cars’ owners. MG Motor offers the most value-for-money electric vehicle – MG ZS EV, based on the global popular platform from their home country, the UK. MG Motor’s commitment towards clean technologies & green mobility can be seen with the brand’s innovations and comprehensive ecosystem approach around the growing footprint of the ZS EV, now in its new avatar.
