EV and li-ion battery training 2023 at Academy of EV Technology

Level 1 charging (110–120 V) can be a good fit for many workplace charging programs. For electric vehicles typically purchased by most employees, Level 1 charging often has sufficient power to fully restore vehicle driving range during work hours.  Chandigarh has the highest density of vehicles in India with around 12 lakh registered vehicles, including both two-wheelers and four-wheelers. The number of vehicles per house on an average is two and has led to a sharp deterioration in quality of air. The UT electricity department in its power tariff petition submitted before the Joint Electricity Regulatory Commission (JERC) has proposed a power tariff plan for electric vehicle charging stations,  The department has proposed charging Rs 5 per unit in the slab of 0-150 units; Rs 5.30 and Rs 5.60 per unit in 151-400 units and above 400 units, respectively. The power tariff proposed for electric vehicle charging stations are higher as compared to domestic category, b...

Tata Motors, which emerged as the lowest bidder for Calcutta and a few other cities, will supply the buses. “A team of engineers from the company has already held several workshops with our drivers and maintenance staff. We have done a few trial runs with the two buses,” a West Bengal Transport Corporation official said. “An electric bus shed has been built at the Nonapukur tram depot where 10 buses will be stationed. We have installed charging stations as well.” The buses will either 9m or 12m long. The shorter one will cost Rs 34 lakh while the longer Rs 88 lakh. Forty buses of each of the variants will be on the roads with options for slow and fast charges. The 9m buses will have two batteries while the other three. “The fast charging set costs Rs 15 lakh and can charge the batteries of a bus in two hours. The slower one will take six hours. Seventeen such charging stations will be set up across the city,” a West Bengal Transport Corporation engineer said. “Rough...

Delhi Govt Launches Draft EV Policy, Aims To Have 25% EVs By 2023 Several industry leaders and experts in electric mobility on Tuesday welcomed the Delhi government's draft "Electric Vehicle Policy 2018", which aims to ensure adoption of 25 per cent e-vehicles among new registrations by 2023. The draft policy will remain valid for five years (2018-2023) from the date of notification Will focus on incentivising the purchase and use of electric two-wheelers Considers #charging #infrastructure as a key driver of #EV adoption Charging Infrastructure: Key Driver Of EV Adoption The policy also takes into account charging infrastructure as a key driver of EV adoption and will work towards enabling both private and public EV charging points. The policy paves way for 100% subsidy on installation of charging point up to INR 30,000 per charging point for the first 10,000 points at residential or non-residential buildings. For the bidding and operational conveni...

Mahindra’s Electric Mobility group is taking a leap into electric vehicles with the inauguration of its first Electric Technology Manufacturing Hub in Karnataka, India. The new facility is a tangible step forward in support of Mahindra’s Future of Mobility vision of providing Clean, Connected & Convenient vehicles for customers. The facility will produce Mahindra’s first electric 3-wheelers, the Treo and Treo Yaari, under Mahindra’s +ME (Mahindra Electric) brand. The new 3-wheelers will start at Rs. 1.36 lakhs, including FAME subsidy (Faster Adoption and Manufacture of (Hybrid and) Electric Vehicles). Mahindra will also manufacture battery packs, power electronics, and motor assemblies at the new factory, which will increase the total output from +ME to 25,000 units per year. “As the pioneers of electric mobility in India, Mahindra is poised to be at the forefront of the electric vehicle revolution while spearheading the endeavor through its range of clean mobility ...

Just published scientific article in World Electric Vehicle Journal (together with a few others) about e-roaming and the use of a single roaming language " Advancing E-Roaming in Europe: Towards a Single “Language” for the European Charging Infrastructure" Link: https://www.mdpi.com/2032-6653/9/4/50 This is also very interesting for other countries, as it is all about removing barriers for EV drivers, charge point operators and emobility service providers. And it is about the benefits of standardization. 

EV manufacturers and sellers were waiting for a single policy that laid out a roadmap for creating an EV ecosystem, including charging stations and manufacturing and buying incentives. The two-wheeler segment is expected to lead the EV market in India, not cars or buses. "We will see electric two-wheelers as a way to adapt proclivity of electric mobility in India, instead of forced adoption through four-wheelers," Rebecca Lindland, senior director In 2017, India sold about 900,000 EVs, 4 per cent of the volume of diesel and petrol vehicles sold. The government of India had a plant of converting the entire fleet of vehicles to fully electric by 2030, which it sort of scrapped. Prime Minister Narendra Modi was expected to launch a policy on  'Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric vehicles' (FAME-II) , much-anticipated policy for the Indian EV industry, the first phase of which (FAME-I) was released in 2015. If India manages to transform i...

The power ministry would soon bring an electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure policy, which will also allow individuals to set up charging station for commercial use to boost e-mobility, said Power and New & Renewable Energy Minister R K Singh, this Sunday. "We have circulated the EV Charging Policy for comments (among other department/ministries). The second line of the policy says that everybody is free to set up EV charging station," Singh told reporters at International Symposium to Promote Innovation & Research in Energy Efficiency (Inspire). Singh also informed that his ministry is working to coordinate with oil ministry to set up EV charging station at petrol pumps. The EV charging infrastructure is required to boost EVs in the country. India intends to have a sizeable share of EVs in the vehicle strength by 2030, which is in line with its commitment to reduce emission intensity by one third from the level of 2005.

To boost production of electric vehicles (EVs) in the country, the ministry has also suggested defining semi knocked down and completely knocked down kits used for assembling EVs for streamlining of customs duty. The Heavy Industries Ministry has proposed reducing customs duty on parts of electric vehicles which are currently not exempted from import tariff to the Department of Revenue, according to senior officials. With an aim to boost production of electric vehicles (EVs) in the country, the ministry has also suggested defining semi knocked down and completely knocked down kits used for assembling EVs for streamlining of customs duty. The tax structure entailing a one-year sunset clause was proposed by the Heavy Industries Ministry to the Finance Ministry in a meeting last week and is likely to be introduced along with the Rs 5,500 crore FAME India scheme entailing subsidies for all categories of electric vehicles, strong hybrid cars and for establishing charging infrastruc...

About 87 percent of Indian drivers and vehicle owners would buy an electric vehicle, if that helped reduce air pollution, according to a new survey. Only 12 percent would switch to EVs to avoid using petrol and diesel, according to the survey commissioned by Climate Trends, a Bengaluru-based nonprofit, which polled more than 2,000 Indian drivers, owners and those who planned to buy a car. In 2017, India sold about 900,000 EVs, 4 percent of the volume of diese l and petrol vehicles sold. Transportation accounts for about  11 per cent  of India’s carbon emissions and is a major source for air pollution in several cities nationwide. As many as 14 of the world’s top 20 most-polluted cities are in India, according to a 2018 World Health Organization  report . The findings of the Climate Trends survey were launched on Sept. 6, 2018, a day before the start of a two-day long conference organised by NITI Aayog, the central government’s think...
