Low Speed two wheelers: Customers buying low speed Electric two wheelers (both with lead and Lithium batteries) are a happier lot as the initial price of these vehicles after subsidy become attractive (Rs.27000 to Rs.50000) and the running cost are also just 70 paise (incl battery replacement and charging cost) against Rs 1.30 /km of...Continue Reading
For the last 1.5 years, the customers in some of the EV segments like E- Scooters are being offered EVs at two price points corresponding to the level of technology, speed and power. However only 2% customer have really shifted to higher speed products. The major barrier being the prices and the diminishing TCO advantages...Continue Reading
The confusing actions and the words like the ones spoken recently by the senior most officials in the government certainly doesn’t help anyone. The existing manufacturers suffer the most, the new comers take a back seat and investors simply vanish.

On one hand the max current drawn in electric two wheeler is quite low (generally less than 100 amp), the lithium batteries are not put to extreme stress, however most electric two wheeler batteries have no forced cooling therefore the chances of heat developed / heat trapped are higher. A safe two wheeler battery system...Continue Reading
Although countries like China and Norway have gone fairly ahead in electric mobility, the world as a whole is still far away from a significant shift in electric mobility in the cars. As per the latest estimates we may end up having only 600000 or so electric cars in 2018. The cumulative total electric cars...Continue Reading

Looks surely so. India may achieve the dubious distinction of having the worst polluting cities around the world as China may vacate this ignomous list in 5 to 7 years. Some of the cities like Delhi are already ahead of the most polluting cities in China, atleast during some months of the year and the...Continue Reading
Amongst the efforts to find alternates like Sodium –Air batteries, Fuel cells are a promising alternate to the lithium batteries. However Hydrogen required for fuel cells poses a big channel on production, handling and storage. Hydrogen generation, compression, storage, dispensing, and service are all value-added components that should be identified when choosing the correct hydrogen...Continue Reading
