EV adoption: demand, infrastructure and driver readiness

Interest in fully battery-powered electric vehicles (EVs) is growing across India and Australia, but that interest doesn't automatically translate into adoption.

In this session, experts from HERE Technologies and SBD Automotive discuss findings from the HERE-SBD 2026 EV Index to examine how charging infrastructure, reliability and real-time information are shaping driver readiness in these two markets.

The discussion will explore India’s rapid infrastructure expansion, Australia’s growing demand and what both markets reveal about the need to turn EV interest into a practical, predictable ownership experience.

You'll learn:

• How EV demand and infrastructure readiness are evolving in India and Australia
• Why charging availability and reliability remain important to driver confidence
• How real-time charging and journey information can support a better EV experience
• What these markets reveal about the next phase of EV adoption
