E-mobility in India Scenarios Tool

I will build a scenarios tool to simulate the impacts of transportation electrification on India’s energy system, including the environmental and economic impacts. I intend to ensure that there is a focus on the environmental outcomes associated with such electrification, as opposed to a sole focus on the purely macroeconomic effects. Stakeholders from the government and industry should be able to use this tool to gain clarity on scenarios for e-mobility in India to help them make better decisions. The project will also include a public facing tool to help the public understand the implications of these decisions.

The end result of the project, a tool to assess scenarios for electrification of transportation in India, will also be easily adaptable useful to other countries around the world, so they could engage in the same type of exercise to assess the benefits of electrification. This means that the project will have significance not only to India but to others as well.
