By Raphae Halim Affordable Electric Vans are important to enable small businesses move cargo across the city or for small distances. The Diesel cargo vans used by small businesses nowadays are noisy, emit PM 2.5 pollution and should be electrified ASAP to reduce emissions and reduce our use of imported oil. So we reached out to Kinetic Green, makers of electric cargo vans, asking them to show us their product which could benefit small businesses. They showed us the Kinetic Green, Safar Shakti Star, which we took on a spin.

The Okinawa Ridge+ electric scooter by Gurgaon based Okinawa Scooters, was the company's first product with Lithium-Ion batteries. We recently had an opportunity to test drive the Ridge+ and give our opinions in our Lets Ride video. Here are more observations and comments. So there was a reveal event by Revolt Motors which showcased the new series of electric motorcycles.
They introduced 3 flavours of the motorcycle RV300, RV400 and RV400 Premium. The most revolutionary part of the announcement was that there was no MRP (Max Retail Price) announced! By Raphae Halim We got an opportunity to ride the Ampere Zeal Electric Scooter, which is the latest scooter launched by 10+ year old EV company Ampere Vehicles.
The dealer in Cinchwad, Pune invited us to take a look at it. In this blog, we highlight our observations in real time as we rode the Zeal. Blu Smart Electric Taxi, Hyundai Kona launch, DC Fast chargers, Solar Power : PluginIndia Delhi trip11/7/2019 The PluginIndia team felt the full blast of the Indian EV transformation during our recent trip to Delhi/NCR, which is the region where we observe huge investment in the EV space and maximum disruption caused by electric vehicles.
We saw electric Rickshaws everywhere, including from organized players like Smart-E. We travelled across NCR in an electric taxi by a startup called Blu Smart. We then were invited by the Hyundai team for the launch of first All-Electric SUV in India - The Hyundai Kona. We then also visited a user who has installed a 5 kW solar power system at his home and charges his electric car using Solar! By Kamlesh Mallick with inputs from industry So the 2019 budget was presented by our finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman and electric mobility was the major winner.
There are income tax breaks for consumers, there are lower import duties on components for manufacturers and less GST than before. All this shows the commitment of our government towards green mobility in India. Let's all welcome a new electric car to the Indian EV market. Hyundai are launching India's first electric SUV on July 9, 2019.
No this is not a gossip news item that you read in auto blogs or websites these days about EV's. This is a real launch, where the car will be made available for individual and commercial customers in India. We have been in touch with the nice people in Hyundai over the year talking about the car, the team etc. They don't reveal much, but here are important points to consider if you are interested in the Hyundai Kona Electric SUV. by Dr Peter Harrop, Chairman, IDTechEx
Not long ago it was just dreams. Small internal-combustion aircraft provide taxi services, serve the declining market for private flying and a few other needs. Some are over 30 years old because total cost of ownership is an issue. Designing electric replacements seemed like entering a dust bowl. Spotting that there is more money in larger aircraft, some raised investment to jump in at the deep end and make 8-100 seat pure-electric aircraft or, more realistically, hybrid interim versions first, such as the Faradair BEHA. It is well analysed in the new IDTechEx report, "Manned Electric Aircraft 2020-2030".

यदि आप एक भारतीय शहर में निवासरत हैं, तो अपने चारों ओर देखिए।देखिए इन प्रदूषण करने वाले, तेल पीते दो पहिया वाहनों, कारों एवं एसयूवीज़ को और सुनिए इन वाहनों के भयानक ध्वनि प्रदूषण को। लोग इन तेल पीती बड़ी एसयूवीज़ में अधिकांश समय अकेले ही इनकी सवारी करते हैं। एक डीज़ल एसयूवी की ज़रूरत क्या है ? जब आप ९५% समय अकेले ही या एक अन्य व्यक्ति के साथ उसमें सवारी करते है। ये २०१९ है, और क्यों हम अपने शहरों में और अधिक इलेक्ट्रिक वाहन नहीं देखते जो हमारे शहरों की हवा को साफ़ रखने में हमारी मदद कर सकते हैं? इसके कई कारण हैं -जागरूकता की कमी, बाज़ार में विकल्पों की कमी, बैटरी की चिंता, चार्जिंग अधोसंरचना की कमी इत्यादि। लेकिन एक अन्य बड़ा कारण है जिसकी चर्चा अक्सर नहीं होती है और वो हैं कार्पोरेट, विशेषकर आंतरिक दहन इंजन वाहनों के निर्माताओं ने हमारे नवजात भारतीय इलेक्ट्रिक वाहन उद्योग के विकाश को अवरुद्ध किया है। Twenty Two Motors, a Gurugram-based start-up had partnered with Taiwanese scooter maker Kymco, who will bring in it's Ionex battery swapping solution, which will be incorporated into the Flow electric scooter.
We speak to the CEO and Co-Founder Mr Parveen Kharb, and ask him some questions on the product, the technology and upcoming milestones. The Chinese market for electric buses has sharply dropped as subsidies disappear. India has announced energetic moves to replace 150,000 diesel buses. That and more modest moves elsewhere are likely to keep deliveries rising, as appraised by analysts IDTechEx in the report, "Electric Buses 2019 - 2029".
By Prof Nagendra Singh Tiwari इस महीने फ़ेम २ की मुख्य विशेषताएँ घोषित की गईं। फ़ेम २ की सामान्य दिशा दुपहिया वाहनो, सार्वजनिक परिवहन एवं बेड़े के माँग एवं प्रोत्साहन के हिसाब से सकारात्मक है।
ई वी समुदाय इस बात से भौचक्का है की निजी इलेक्ट्रिक कारों को इस योजना से बाहर रखा गया है, ऐसे और भी बैटरी निर्माण से सम्बंधित कई महत्वपूर्ण प्रश्न हैं जिनके उत्तर दिए जाने की आवश्यकता है यहाँ तक की जिनके उत्तर पूर्व में दिए गए है उनके भी। प्लग इन इंडिया चिंतन के इस एपिसोड में, हम फ़ेम २ योजना एवं भारत में स्थानीय बैटरी पैक, घटकों और सेल निर्माण की बात करेंगे
The FAME 2 (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles in India) salient features were announced this month. The general direction of FAME 2 is positive in terms of demand side incentives for two wheelers, public transport and fleets.
While the EV community is aghast, that private electric cars are excluded from the scheme, there were more important questions regarding battery manufacturing that needed answering and even those have been answered. In this blog, we talk about the FAME 2 scheme and also look at mandates for local battery pack, components and cell manufacturing in India. |
