Need of the hour - DC Quick charging

1/12/2013

Reva in the streets of London

The best part about owning an electric vehicle is the fact that you don't have to visit a petrol pump.
The infrastructure needed to deliver 'fuel' to your electric car or bike, is already present.
Every home and workplace has an electric socket. All we need to do is to plug-it in and rock!

In India we use 230 Volts, alternating current as the power source. Plugs and sockets have either grounded /earthed 3 Pin connections or ungrounded 2 pin connections. For Higher current, there is a 15 Amp version of the same 3 Pin plug.

Towards a better tomorrow - Solar Power

After years of lagging behind China and the West in the adoption of solar power, some states in India are proposing to build solar farms at a galloping pace… a pace, if not adhered to, would render them at a risk of falling short of electricity (a familiar problem here) or of paying much higher prices for it.

In just the last five months, five Indian states have announced plans to bring giant amounts of solar power online within five years, including 1,000 megawatts in Andhra Pradesh, 350 megawatts in Rajasthan, 800 megawatts in Madhya Pradesh, 1,000 megawatts in Chhatisgarh and a whopping 3,000 megawatts in Tamil Nadu.

The bright lights of Diwali have further exposed the depth and breadth of India's coal crisis bringing a 21st century reality into painful focus: Geologically speaking coal is abundant, economically speaking cheap coal is not. India may be the first country to face this harsh reality, but it will not be the last.

Fortunately, the clean energy sector is soaring, spurring wind and solar wars as nations fight to ensure they are not left in the black fog of the coal era.

Apparently BMW Group's board member - Harald Kruege was in Delhi speaking to our government officials about the launch of the BMW i3 electric hatchback in India.
He said - “I was in New Delhi last week. We have discussed about this with the concerned minister. We will definitely come to India as we see there is a potential market. But we cannot say when the i3 will be launched in India.”

Exhibitions are always fun! I enjoy visiting them and observing people and products!
You get to meet great people, you see creative products and services showcased to the world, you see networking happening, relationships are built with exchange of cards, business deals are signed etc.

I got a chance to visit Intersolar India 2013 in Mumbai, this week. Apart from the cool products and services, I was pleasantly surprised at the energy and enthusiasm shown by the various companies and the visitors.

Update August 2016
Well, The Mahindra Electric Maxximo is now rebranded as the eSupro. Will be launching in late 2016.
Then there is the Tesla Truck going to be unveiled in 2017. So this old 2014 blog really peeked into the future! :)

Original blog
As the world is trying to build a car that would run on Electricity the guys at Mahindra are trying to bring to life a small sized commercial vehicle popularly known as mini-Truck that would run on Electricity. Most people I talk to think the EV truck will be more difficult to be a success as it will be constantly on the move throughout the day and would require more power which can only be got from a Diesel engine truck.
