15 Electric Mobility Startup Opportunities India Needs Now

World EV Day returns on 9 September 2026, its seventh edition since the campaign began in 2020. Founded by Ade Thomas in partnership with ABB, past editions have highlighted EV adoption in policy discussions in markets including the UK and US, and drawn participation from Ford, Tata, Nissan, and dozens of other global players in previous years. It isn’t owned by any single government or brand — it’s an open campaign that anyone, from a two-wheeler OEM to a solo founder, can build on.

This year’s theme, “Switching Electric: driving down the cost of motoring”, leans into household and business economics: for many buyers, the decision to go electric is increasingly a cost comparison rather than purely an environmental one.
