Zoomcar Report Highlights Self-Drive EV Rentals as Key to Accelerating Adoption in Emerging Markets

Zoomcar Holdings Inc. has released its EV Experience Insight Report 2025, analyzing the role of self-drive rentals in accelerating electric vehicle $(EV)$ adoption in emerging markets. The report highlights that while EV penetration in developed markets such as China, Europe, and the US has reached 38%, 21%, and 9.3% respectively in 2024, India lags behind at just ~2% due to limited charging infrastructure, low home-charging access, and higher upfront costs. Zoomcar’s findings indicate that experience-led rental models significantly improve consumer confidence and increase EV purchase propensity, as seen in global markets where up to 42% of renters use EVs to "try before they buy." The report outlines Zoomcar’s plans to expand its peer-to-peer EV rental offerings in India by 2026, in collaboration with OEMs and charging operators, to facilitate wider EV adoption through experiential access.
