How electric vehicles industry is coming out of Covid-19 or Coronavirus crisis?

Electric vehicles companies will be coming out of the COVID-19 or Coronavirus pandemic the fastest because of the simple demand and supply logic. Transportation has become one of the necessities like food, shelter, and clothing for humans, without transportation life is unimaginable, with the incoming slowdown in public transportation the necessity for commercial or personal vehicles would be at a high and electric or battery-operated vehicles will see good days soon after the lockdown. Electric scooters have already found a warm place in the heart of Indian families because of its advanced features and economic nature.

Coronavirus and Slowdown in Public Transportation - like buses: Which bike or car to buy?

An obvious outcome of the COVID-19 or Coronavirus pandemic will be the slowdown in the mobility of public transportation like buses and trains even after the lockdown gets lifted. Call it a precautionary measure or a compulsory initiative to minimize the new cases of Coronavirus patients, the less number of public transports would be a haunting issue for a while. Even without a conscious effort by the government, the collective public psychology would be to avoid all these means of transportation.

According to the market experts, the Covid-19 or Coronavirus pandemic and ongoing lockdown situation in India will close many traditional (petrol/diesel) car, tractor, bike showrooms in India - the combination of market paranoia, genuine crisis, and economic disaster will come with consequences and especially in an industry which is transiting to electric vehicles.  Adding to the above, obviously the BS6 switchover from BS4 (The BS6 has only 10 ppm (parts per million) of the sulfur content while in BS4, 50 ppm of sulfur content is allowed.
