Women, Energy Access, And India's Elections

23/4/2014

0 Comments

 
By Justin Guay and Vrinda Manglik
The world's largest democracy is holding its elections, and the result will have big implications for the future of Indian energy policy.

By May 12, an expected 815 million voters — the equivalent to the combined populations of the U.S. and the European Union — will have gone to the polls to vote in India's general election. With Indian women voting at increasing rates, politicians are attempting to court female voters more than ever.  The topic of energy access should not be overlooked in this election — especially since energy can largely affect women's lives and, potentially, their votes.

With elections now in full swing, some Indians have called for party endorsements of a six-point "Womanifesto."  This platform is largely focused on women's equality and protection against violence and discrimination. As these issues become increasingly salient, only the new — and increasingly important — Aam Aadmi ("Common Man") Party (AAP) has offered its endorsement so far.

Automotive Engineer Josef Memmel is not only an expat and businessman but above all he is a visionary who is passionate about Electric Vehicles and the environment. He has designed quite a few electric bikes, some of which have solar roof. The vehicles with Solar roof do not need to be manually plugged in to be charged. His own bike has never been manually charged till date.

Battery Technology picks up speed

If you think about the the time we used to marvel at the introduction of Pentium 1 processor on desktop PCs to today where QuadCore processors have become common on smartphones, its been a long walk… a hell of a long walk.
And right through, the tech world has seen a plethora of innovations like development of USB Ports, Wi-Fi connectivity, 15,000 RPM Hard Disk Drives, Terabyte External HDD that can fit inside your shirt pocket, CD, DVD, BlueRay, thinner laptop, digital cameras, iPod, development of the mobile phone, smartphones that share the same features as the desktop PCs, Tablet PC and now Smart Watches.

Right through these 2 decades, battery technology made certain discoveries but they were never really implemented in to any mainstream products except for Li-Ion for laptop, cameras and mobile phones. This remained true for almost a decade. And the price of the Li-Ion battery fell by about 4 times but it still remains very high. Battery technology till now was struggling to keep up with the advances in hardware.

I wonder how many companies in India, which is the world’s biggest bike market are thinking of producing a three wheel bike (trike)? After discussing and analyzing many bike manufacturers I have come to the conclusion that the answer is – None. No company in India is presently in the process of designing a Trike with high ground clearance.

How we are charging our electric car?  This is a serious question.
Imagine if over a period of time all petrol cars owners get converted to Electric Car owners. Imagine the amount of load that would be put on the Grid during charging. These modern cars would still be charging from the same old grid that existed 15 to 20 yrs ago, a grid that cannot expand anymore, cannot take any more load and a grid that is used to going offline intermittently and almost on the verge of collapsing completely.

The biggest question is what if the entire grid fails for a few days or months?… during periods of War or bad weather.

Recently a Survey was carried out and published on World Street Journal. The data is correct but what they have done is twisted the facts around a little to show a negative image of Electric Cars. The article in particular is here
Read both versions and tell me who is correct?

Below is my explanation of the figures presented:

Tesla Motor's - Gigantic Giga Battery Factory

There is that company EV lovers look up to.  There is that company other EV companies yearn to emulate. There is that company that has admirers all over the world.  There is that company that kick started the modern EV revolution.  That company is Tesla Motors. The man who leads that company is Elon Musk.
Their products such as the Tesla Roadster and the Telsa Model S just kickass and are even scaring car companies who make their profits based on OIL based cars and are forcing them to launch EV's.
So when Tesla Motors announce massive plans, the industry notices. Tesla announced plans to setup massive factories to manufacture batteries, in a move that could lower the global prices of Lithium-Ion batteries.
