Challenges Hindering the Mass Production of Flex Fuel Hybrid EVs

Despite the promise of Flex Fuel Hybrid EVs, several challenges hinder their mass production and widespread adoption. Issues such as the corrosive nature of ethanol-blended fuels damaging vehicle engines, lower energy density leading to decreased mileage and higher running costs, and limited supply infrastructure pose significant hurdles. Additionally, concerns regarding food security arise as ethanol production requires land, potentially impacting underprivileged citizens' food distribution and contributing to land use change. Addressing these obstacles, including engineering costs, carbon footprints, and sustainability implications, is crucial before scaling up Flex Fuel Hybrid EV production in India's auto industry.
