Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.

The enthusiasm to own Electric Vehicles (EV) is increasing among the people. Though it costs 40-45% higher than usual fuel vehicles, saving on petrol and diesel and contributing to saving our mother earth are rational reasons to buy it. Some companies already have started selling EVs. Well reputed Tata Motors is in the first row with its Nexon EV release. Hundreds of start-ups have already started selling electric two-wheelers. The customers need to know that there are certain grave issues to be understood. The principal one is the lack of charging and maintenance infrastructure. Those who have independent houses have the facility of installing a charging setup but in apartments, it is a real challenge. There have been some recent fire incidents in EV bikes' batteries. The minister for road transport and highways, Nitin Gadkari warned the companies to recall faulty vehicles. Another serious challenge is that when there are many EVs, can the governments provide sufficient electricity? Now power cuts are everywhere as there is not much coal availability. What and how it will be in the future is a serious question to be answered. It is good to imagine that the roads of India are full of electric vehicles and no more noise and no more thick smoke from the vehicles. It is also estimated that in two or three years as the price comes down and present issues with EVs are addressed we will see many such vehicles on our roads.
