A transformation from conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to battery electric (BE) vehicles coupled with a low carbon electricity grid is considered to be effective in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions especially carbon dioxide (CO₂) and a resulting drop in the oil demand. This study investigates the possible savings in the gasoline consumption and reduction in CO₂ emission in India from the battery electric two-wheeler segment during the fiscal year 2021–2030. The CO₂ emissions are estimated based on emission coefficients, average fuel consumption and the annual mileage of two-wheelers. In India, more than 70% of the total registered motor vehicles belong to the category of a two-wheeler. Hence, any policy actions intended at the reduction in CO₂ emission and gasoline consumption from the transportation sector must focus on the two-wheeler segment. Older two-wheeler has higher gasoline consumption due to lower fuel economy which leads to larger CO₂ emission. The study reveals that with 100% replacement of newly registered ICE two-wheelers with BE two-wheelers, a total savings of 322.50 billion litres of gasoline and a reduction of 571.49 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions can be achieved during the period 2021–2030. With strict implementation of a scrapping policy whereby all ICE two-wheelers completing 15 years of service are taken off the road, the gasoline savings and reduction in CO₂ emissions can be enhanced to 403.23 billion litres and 811.27 million tonnes, respectively, during the same period. The enhanced use of non-fossil fuel-based sources for electricity generation will lead to a further reduction in CO₂ emission, as the energy required for the propulsion of BE two-wheeler is sourced from the grid.

从传统的内燃机（ICE）车辆向结合了低碳电网的电池电动（BE）车辆的转变被认为可有效减少温室气体（GHG）的排放，尤其是二氧化碳（CO ₂）的排放，从而减少二氧化碳的排放。石油需求。这项研究调查了在2021-2030财年期间，电动两轮车领域在印度可能节省的汽油消耗和减少的CO ₂排放。一氧化碳₂根据排放系数，平均油耗和两轮车的年行驶里程来估算排放量。在印度，登记的机动车总数中有70％以上属于两轮车。因此，任何旨在减少运输部门的CO ₂排放量和汽油消耗量的政策措施都必须集中在两轮车领域。较旧的两轮车由于燃油经济性较低而导致汽油消耗较高，从而导致较大的CO ₂排放量。研究表明，用BE两轮车100％替代新注册的ICE两轮车，总共可节省3225.0亿公升汽油，减少5.749亿吨CO _2。可以在2021年至2030年期间实现排放。通过严格执行报废政策，所有完成了15年服务的ICE两轮车都将上路行驶，在此期间，汽油节省量和CO ₂排放量的减少分别可提高到4032.3亿升和81127万吨。期。非化石燃料基发电的更多使用将导致进一步减少CO ₂排放，因为推进BE两轮车所需的能源均来自电网。
