8th Electric Vehicle Expo E-Rickshaw and E-Bikes Era for India

8th Electric Vehicle Expo spotlights that 2019 will be the start of E-Rickshaw and E-Bikes Era for India evexpo electric charging electricvehicles cuepen It was groundbreaking experience for the last two & half days speaking with representatives of many companies exhibiting at 8th India expo held at New Delhi, 21st to 23rd, 2018. Most of the local and international companies exhibited eRickshaws, eAutos, and eBikes in line with Govt.’s objective to convert these vehicle-categories to E-vehicles sooner. Most of these vehicles are planned to be launched in Q3/Q4 of 2019. Further there were ample number of Indian companies exhibiting Lithium battery packs and solutions offered for integration to EV manufacturers. Many vehicles were showcased with lithium batteries, offering right prices to users. Glad to see the faster adoption of Lithium batteries replacing the dominant lead acid batteries. Additionally, there were many ancillary suppliers as well as the ready-to-retrofit solution providers for converting existing vehicles to Electric vehicles. Nevertheless, there were hardly any display of E-Cars and E-buses. Only Mahindra and BYD displayed their vehicles at expo. Overall, the event highlighted that the era of E-rickshaws and E-Bikes will begin from 2019 in India.

  Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) plans to set up 500 EV charging stations in the public areas of the city. PMC has also selected locations for the set up of charging stations which includes municipal gardens, educational institutes, and main roads. PMC has issued tender for the same and private agencies too can bid on the setup. It plans to charge a minimal fee for charging vehicles and the amount earned will be used to maintain the stations. The implementation of the project will take place on a revenue-sharing basis. PMC will provide the required space for private owners to establish the stations and other arrangements can be made by the companies. Setting up new EV charging stations will boost the adoption of electric vehicles in the city of Pune. In Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad, people are buying more electric vehicles than electric rickshaws, and hence e-rickshaws couldn’t make an impression in the city. But officials believe that e-rickshaws have a brig...

  The Ministry of Power has previously announced new EV charging infrastructure standards and guidelines. In compliance with the rules, the state government has fixed the ceiling cost of service charges to be charged by electric vehicle public charging stations. It approved the Rs 12.06 + applicable GST service cost maximum for electric vehicle rates covered by State/Central subsidies. it is still less expensive than petrol and diesel. “It costs Rs 300 if any four-wheeler takes 25 units to completely charge their cars.” “You can’t even get three litres of petrol with the same quantity of petrol,” Car comparison between petrol, diesel and electric vehicles If the price of petrol is considered at Rs 100 per litre and mileage is considered 16 km per litre, the cost of the car, per kilometre, will be about Rs 6.25. If the price of diesel is considered at Rs 95 per litre and mileage is considered 22 km per litre, the cost of the car, per kilometre, will be around Rs 4.31.  ...

Lithium battery business training

  Some dramatically different approaches to EV batteries could see progress in 2023, though they will likely take longer to make a commercial impact. One advance to keep an eye on this year is in so-called solid-state batteries. Lithium-ion batteries and related chemistries use a liquid electrolyte that shuttles charge around; solid-state batteries replace this liquid with ceramics or other solid materials.  At the same time, concerns about supplies of key battery materials like cobalt and lithium are pushing a search for alternatives to the standard lithium-ion chemistry.  In the midst of the soaring demand for EVs and renewable power and an explosion in battery development, one thing is certain: batteries will play a key role in the transition to renewable energy. Here’s what to expect in 2023. The global battery value chain, like others within industrial manufacturing, faces significant environmental, social, and governance (ESG) challenges Environmental:  The ex...
