One might argue that the onus of reversing global warming should fall on the developed world, which on a per capita basis consumes much more energy and emits significantly more greenhouse gases. As India’s GDP and per capita income continue to climb, so too will its energy consumption. costs less than fossil-fuel-based electricity.

After that, it kicks into a gas car; basically a series hybrid.
