The biggest electric vehicle facility in the world, according to electric vehicle manufacturer Ola Electric, will be established in Tamil Nadu. Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Gujarat, and Uttar Pradesh were the only other five states competing, but Tamil Nadu received the funding.The investment of 7,614 crores to produce electric automobiles in Krishnagiri district, which currently produces electric two-wheelers, was attributed by the Tamil Nadu government to its updated Electric Vehicles Policy.Thangam Thennarasu, the state's minister of industries, characterized the heavy investment as evidence of the company's faith in Tamil Nadu. He added that in addition to land subsidies and power advantages, the state also provided the manufacturer of electric vehicles the alternative of financial or transition subsidies. The state provided conveniences to battery producers and consumers in addition to the original equipment producers to foster an environment. For example, a Rs. 10 lakh subsidy will be given to consumers of such public EVs. The electric car policy in Tamil Nadu has been updated to meet the most recent demand. Investors benefited more because of this. To support the EV industry, the Tamil Nadu state has announced its electric vehicle strategy 2023, which seeks to attract investors of 50,000 crores and create 1.50 lakh employment.Now Ola will have the world's largest four-wheeler manufacturing facility in Tamil Nadu. But Why does Ola rely so much on Tamil Nadu for its manufacturing plants? Let's look into it.Now, Tamil Nadu is at the top of the Indian automotive sector. With its world-class production capacity, Tamil Nadu, one of India's most industrialized states, can attract any form of automotive-based industry. In addition, Tamil Nadu is the only Indian state with four international airports and four of the country's main shipping ports. 35% of India's automotive parts manufacturing and about 30% of four-wheeler production are produced in TN. Around 20 OEMs that cover all car sectors, over 350 automotive parts manufacturers, and more than 4,000 SMEs classified as Tier-IV are currently based in Tamil Nadu.90% of electric scooters now on the market travel at 25 mph. Ola predicts a huge market potential for its high-end EV scooters. According to a study by KPMG-CII (Confederation of Indian Industries), the percentage of electric vehicles in use within the next ten years might reach 30%. In the following ten years, that would raise revenues from 1% market dominance to 30%. In addition to TN government programs and subsidization for EV production, there are also established manufacturing estates with the required infrastructure, such as undisrupted water and electricity supply, customs duty waivers, land at a subsidized cost, and quick and straightforward single-screen authorization for the development of production hubs. The ample personnel and transportation infrastructure support OLA investment in TN Hosur, which is situated at the border between Bangalore and TN. Hosur is a major industrial city that is home to numerous automotive and manufacturing businesses. The state has the technical ability to generate 4.82 million two-wheelers and 1.71 million automobiles annually. All of these persuade OLA to locate the largest EV production facility in the world in Tamilnadu. The automotive manufacturer would produce 1,50,000 vehicles annually, adding slightly more than 3,000 jobs. According to a report published by Ola on Friday, the hub would be utilized to deliver electric two-wheelers, automobiles, and battery cells to host vendor and distributor facilities.

On 16th February, the Geological Survey Of India discovered 5.9 million tonnes Lithium in Jammu and Kashmir. Up to now, India has relied on importing lithium from Australia and Argentina. Lithium is a crucial component of battery packs, which power many devices, including electric vehicles, computers, and smartphones.According to experts, India's plans to expand the number of privately owned electric vehicles by 30% by 2030 as part of measures to reduce carbon emissions to combat global warming may benefit from the revelation.According to the Indian Ministry of Mines, the Geological Survey of India discovered lithium deposits in the Salal-Haimana region of the Reasi district in Jammu and Kashmir. Significantly smaller lithium resources were discovered in the southern state of Karnataka in 2021.The government has previously stated that it was searching for sources in India and overseas to increase its supply of rare earth metals required to advance innovative technologies.The need for rare metals, particularly lithium, has grown globally as nations strive to implement cleaner solutions to halt climate change. Bolivia has the greatest lithium deposits in the world, with an estimated 21 million tonnes, and China agreed to invest $1 billion (£807 million) in their development in 2023. The World Bank estimates that to achieve the global climate goals by 2050, mining essential minerals would need to expand by 500%.However, according to experts, lithium extraction is not environmentally beneficial. Australia, Chile, and Argentina have the highest concentrations of subterranean brine reservoirs and hard rocks from which lithium is recovered.Following mining, it is burned using fossil fuels, scorching the environment and causing scarring behind. Additionally, the extraction process necessitates much water and produces much carbon dioxide discharged into the environment.A significant quantity of water is required to remove it from the subterranean reservoir, many of which are situated in water-scarce Argentina. This has sparked objections from indigenous people who claim that such activities are depleting natural resources and causing severe consequences of water shortage.Due to its rapid EV adoption, India is quickly growing to be one of the largest countries in the EV business.The primary challenge, however, was importing Lithium for the battery pack from other nations. Now India is independent. It has likely achieved self-sufficiency in the EV world as well after discovering the lithium mine. However, the process of mining to make batteries is a little complicated. 90% of the refining process is still happening in China. So finding a mine is just a foundation step, the question for the bigger picture is, If India can integrate its entire mining into battery making process in India?  It is the first-ever Lithium mine found in the country. It is just the start of the biggest EV revolution, it seems. Currently, the mining stage is estimated in the preliminary exploration stage (G3), and it will take a lot of work to proceed the resources belt to the G1 Level. Going ahead, the social & economic conditions have to be ascertained before declaring it a proven & probable reserve. There are 26 million tonnes of lithium reserves globally. And more than 98 million tonnes are identified resources explored.Australia is the leading Lithium producer and has mined over 61000 tonnes of Lithium from a global sum of around 130000 tonnes in 2022. Even if India can mine around a million tonnes of commercially feasible Lithium from its reserve, it will be groundbreaking news for the EV revolution in India

When delivering the Union Budget for 2023–24 on February 1, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman almost doubled the FAME 2 subsidy spending to Rs 5,172 crore. Compared to the Rs 2,900 crore it had set out in the budgets for 2022–2023, this represents an increase of 78%. According to the newly revealed Budget statement, the Ministry of Heavy Industries would get Rs 5,172 crore in subsidies under the FAME plan for the financial year 2023–24, or 85% of the entire Budgetary allocations of Rs 6,145 crore. Indeed the government has foreseen the future of EV and expects more acceptance by Indian consumers.However, according to the Society of Manufacturers of Electric Vehicles (SMEV), the subsidies provided in the existing Budget are highly improbable to have a significant impact on the Ev sector because the funding allotted for FY24 will not really represent an increase in the government's aggregate investment since the FAME 2 subsidy was made official for a five-year fiscal year ending in FY24.The government provided Rs 500 crore for FAME 2 in FY20. In FY21, this was reduced to Rs 318 crore. The government boosted the budgetary allotment to Rs. 800 crores in FY22, to roughly Rs. 2,900 crores in FY23, as well as to Rs. 5,172 crores in FY24. In fiscal years 2020–21, FAME–budget II's commitment experienced a usage rate of 46%; however, in fiscal years 22 and 23, it has been fully utilised.According to information provided by the Press Information Bureau, as of 19 December 2022, 7.67 lakh EVs had received assistance through Phase II of the FAME India Scheme with a Consumption incentive totalling approximately Rs 3,311 crore.Although the finance minister decided not to provide any wiggle room for the manufacturers of conventional internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs) in this Union Budget, the Budget did redouble its efforts to promote EVs by broadening the import taxes dispensation on capital goods and machinery needed to produce lithium-ion (Li-ion) cells for batteries and by maintaining the prices on import of essential battery components.The report from the PIB also claimed that the Ministry of Heavy Industries sanctioned 6,315 e-buses to 65 cities, and central & state government entities across 26 states & union territories under the scheme. It has also been reported that the Ministry has sanctioned more than 2500 charging grids & stations across 68 cities in 25 states & UTs under FAME II.In the last few years, EV sales have increased dramatically. It is hardly shocking that the EV business would eventually rule India. More than 2 lakh electric vehicles have already received government-backed subsidies, totalling to this point. (View Figures 1.1 and 1.2)The subsidy is especially beneficial to two-wheelers. According to the statistics from the pie graphic, EV two-wheelers themselves received 76% of the subsidies in 2022. We anticipate that the increase in such spending will be about 85% in the upcoming budget. We can already see that two-wheeler batteries typically range in size from 2.5 kW to 3 kW. For EV two-wheelers, the subsidy per kW under the FAME 2 programme is Rs 15,000. In other words, if sales increase to 10,000 electric vehicles, as they undoubtedly will, then the total amount of subsidies in the upcoming budget might be for 10,000 electric vehicles with an average battery size of 2.5 kW.OpinionIt's become popular to talk about FAME-II subsidies. Due to their inability to secure FAME-II subsidies, the 2021 main competitors lost a significant amount of customer base in the second half of 2022. Many businesses are now in this situation. The amount of operating capital needed by businesses has grown as a result of the government's enhanced inspection of the 50% localization requirements and its implementation of the 100-day wait for FAME-II payments.Whether the government sees a way to reduce the cost of producing batteries through localization and economies of scale will determine whether FAME programmes will be extended.Although We predict that the overall budget allotment will stay the same, the Subsidy value in terms of per kWh will gradually decrease. In the third phase, it is also likely that the central government may follow the lead of the state governments and send subsidies straight to the customer account after the EV has been purchased. If you are interested in buying an EV, you can get all the info here!

An introduction model with a solitary motor driving the rear wheel along with a dual-motor, four-wheel-drive ballpark are both anticipated for the EV9 concept's consumer variant.The EV9 concept's interior has a relatively understated panel with a dual infotainment setup, a horizontal steering wheel without spokes, and no tactile buttons at all. The idea has a three-row arrangement with a second column of chairs that can be tucked fully compact and a first line of seating that can rotate to form a lounge-like area. It is decorated with hip ambience lighting everywhere.BYD SealThere are two battery options available for the BYD Seal. With a 61.4kWh battery, the bottom two trims are said to have a 550km range. A bigger 82.5kWh battery is included in the long-range and efficiency models, giving them a relative range of 700 km and 650 km (650 km is for 4WD). The CTLC consists of all ranges, making the actual figure smaller. Interestingly, the prolonged version's capacity is 50km lower than the performance variant. DC rapid charging typically takes 30 minutes to charge 20–80% of a device.The BYD Seal is a smart Chinese EV with all the necessities, including 5G connectivity, an integrated dash camera, and Bluetooth microphones for KTV. Additionally, because it is a BYD, it has a 15.6-inch rotating touchscreen in the centre that can be switched from landscape to portrait with the push of a button. The long-range test model also has a 10.25-inch instrument panel and a HUD.Hyundai IONIQ 5 EVFor a time now, there has been the Hyundai IONIQ 5 EV. Since the Ioniq 5 has already been formally introduced in India, the South Korean company accepts reservations for a low fee of Rs 1 lakh.The Kia EV6 and the Ioniq 5 have the same architectural underpinnings. Thus, the Hyundai EV uses essentially the same batteries and equipment. The Ioniq 5 EV is anticipated to come in Basic Range and Extended Range versions, with both all-wheel drive and back-wheel power choices. The base model reportedly has a 58kWh battery, while the extended-range model will have a 72.6kWh battery.

The Hyderabad-based firm, Pure EV is one of the competing EV manufacturers in the Indian EV market. Under the trade names "PURE EV" and "PURE Lithium," the company produces high-performance lithium batteries, electric scooters, and motorbikes. The firm has built a specialized EV and battery production plant of over 1 lakh square feet. It also has a technical R&D center for EV motor design and evaluation. One of the top EV2W brands in India right now, PURE also holds a commanding lead in sales to South Asian nations like Nepal and Bhutan. The company's primary goals are to create items that the general public adores and establish a solid EV market reputation.Just like every other EV manufacturer, Pure EV saw a drastic growth in EV sales in 2022 compared to its fiscal year 2021. The expansion increased from 10996 units in 2021 to 14961 units in 2022. The development is little to the eye. Still, as competition is growing every day in the EV industry in India, many such companies are eyeing to be the market leaders with their flagship products. Pure EV is trying to do the same. Although significant incidents happened last year, such as the fire incidents regarding Pure EV vehicles, this was the reason for a massive drop in sales in the second quarter of 2022.But the company has sworn to bounce back with its brand new launches and future modifications to a safer and more secure riding experience.Let's analyze Pure EV's products launched in the Indian Market.Pure EV eTryst 350The motor of the PURE EV Etryst-350 produces 3000 W of output.

In March of this year, Hero MotoCorp revealed a new product with a new name. This brand was formed exclusively to design and manufacture two-wheelers in the burgeoning mobility category, where electric scooters are the hot item. So it would be wise to stand up and pay attention when the biggest two-wheeler manufacturer in the world introduces its first electric scooter. With its first EV, the Vida V1 electric scooter, Hero MotoCorp has finally entered the market for electric two-wheelers. The Ola S1, Ather 450X, TVS iQube, and Bajaj Chetak are just a few of the electric scooters that the latest Hero Vida V1 E-scooter will compete against. The top 5 fascinating facts about the brand-new Hero Vida V1 electric scooter are listed below.Battery & RangeThere will be two versions of the Vida V1. the V1 Plus and the V1 Pro from Vida. The battery capacity is the main distinction between them. The premium Pro model receives a bigger 3.94kWh battery pack than the cheaper Plus variant, which has a lesser 3.44kWh battery capacity. The V1 Plus's and the V1 Pro's IDC ranges are 143 km and 165 km, respectively. A PM synchronous motor with a maximum power of 6kW is included with the electric scooter. Four riding settings are available: Sport, Ride, Eco, and Custom. This makes the scooter a better competition for e-scooters like the Ola S1 series, which provides up to 180 km of range per single charge.ChargingThree alternative methods may be used to charge the revolutionary Vida V1 electric scooter. Two detachable battery packs for the scooter are included; they may be recharged at home. On the other hand, the Pro's increased range requires more time to charge—5.55 hours as opposed to 5.30hr for a 0 to 80% charge with the household charger. Additionally, it has a portable charging feature that enables charging the battery while parked. The electric scooter achieves 1.2km of range per minute with fast charging.Hero affirms that the current Ather battery charging infrastructure may be used to recharge the latest Hero Vida V1 electric scooter. For those who are unaware, Hero MotoCorp has made significant investments in Ather Energy.Multiple ModesThe new Vida V1 has three standard ride modes: Eco, Ride, and Sport. The V1 Pro additionally features a Custom mode that allows more than 100 possibilities to meet the needs of the commuter. The e-scooter also includes a limp mode, which restricts the speed to 20 kmph on batteries when the battery is less than 10% of its capacity. Only the scooter supports Eco and Ride when the battery level is below 20%. Additionally, it includes a SuperSport mode that engages with an accelerator push of above 95%. This enables swift acceleration while overtaking.Speed & PerformanceThe electric motor in both versions has a 3.9kW stable output and a 6kW peak power. The V1 can reach its stated peak speed of 80 kmph. With this, however, there is a tiny variation in throttle between the two models. The Pro achieves the 0-40kmph speed in 3.2 seconds while the Plus completes it in 3.4 seconds. It also has a boost mode. This indicates that the scooter switches to sport mode every time the accelerator is wholly turned, which is a characteristic that should be useful for overtaking moves in the city. The device requires 30 seconds to return to the normal mode after switching to sport mode.The top speed is matched by its rival, the Ather 450X, but the latter has a slightly less powered 5400-watt PMSM Motor, giving the Vida a winning edge.Design & FeaturesWhen you first glance at the V1, it has a youthful, contemporary appearance with some intriguing design elements, such as a single-sided swingarm made possible by a swingarm-mounted powertrain. It has a clean appearance at the top right of the back tyre. Bright color variations, such as Matte White, Matte Sports Red, and Matte Abrax Orange, are offered. The Vida V1 is a scooter with many convenient features, despite the same amount of kit being provided for both variations. Along with linked capabilities like turn-by-turn navigation, geofencing, and find my vehicle, this has three riding options, keyless access, LEDs, a theft alarm system, and cruise control.The price of the Vida V1 is Rs. 1.45 lakh for the Plus model and Rs. 1.59 lakh for the Pro model. The FAME-II subsidy is included in the ex-showroom rates; state-level subsidies are not included. At this pricing, the Vida V1 is among the costliest electric scooters on the market, costing more than its main rivals, the Ather 450X, TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak, and Ola S1 Pro.Share if you liked & Follow us for more such EV related contents!

The Hyundai IONIQ 5 EV has been out for a while. The South Korean business has begun accepting bookings for such Ioniq 5 for a small cost of Rs 1 lakh now that it has officially been released in India. This electric hatchback will be Hyundai's second electric car in India, following the Kona electric. This is the first car constructed on the E-GMP Platform, which supports the Kia EV6. Hyundai unveiled the revolutionary IONIQ 5 in our region with its specialist BEV Platform E-GMP, which will create its upcoming electric vehicles.Range The same architectural foundations are both the Kia EV6 and the Ioniq 5. The Hyundai EV thus utilizes relatively similar batteries and systems. It is believed that the Ioniq 5 EV will be offered in Basic Range and Extended Range variants, with both back wheel power & all drive options. According to reports, the basic model will feature a 58kWh battery, and the extended-range variant will include a 72.6kWh battery capacity. It promises to have a 480km range overall. The range is on the lower side compared to its competitor, The Kia EV6, which gets you around 708km. Thanks to these incredible specs, the car's low profile, and the electric motor's instantaneous torque, the EV can achieve 100 kmph in 6.1 seconds for the conventional AWD model and 5.2 seconds for the extended-range AWD variant.Power & AccelerationThe Ioniq 5 utilizes an entirely electric powertrain with various available power levels. The primary battery and the vehicle's one electrical power source, situated in the back, combine to produce 168 horsepower. Hyundai estimates the Ioniq 5 will hit 100 kmph in 7.4 seconds thanks to the extended-range battery, the 225 hp, and the 258Nm of torque it generates. The all-wheel-drive variant is significantly more powerful and quicker, with 320 horsepower and a vast 446 pound-feet of torque. On the test range, it required 4.5 seconds to achieve 100 kmph. The Volvo XC40 recharge can reach 100kmph in just 4.2 seconds with 402bhp of motor power, which gives fair competition to the IONIQ 5. The Ioniq 5 handled well on various surfaces, and its broad EV wheels and low center of mass gave the impression that it was agile when swerving from left to right.Battery & ChargingHyundai provides the Ioniq 5 in two battery pack variants: AWD and transversely mounted drive, 58kWh and 72.6kWh. The lesser battery produces 170 horsepower with rear-wheel driving and all-wheel drive; the larger battery produces 217 horsepower and 305 horsepower with both drivetrains. The bigger battery extends the range to a projected 481km, whereas the lower battery pack is sufficient for 383km in the authorized testing stage. The battery can be recharged from 10% to 80% using the Ioniq 5's super duper 800V charging capacity within 18 minutes. It is unknown which motor configuration will travel to India.Interior & FeaturesThe cabin of the IONIQ 5 is a high-tech space with a digital display and green architectural features. The EV includes a top display that projects driving directions onto the glass using virtual reality. The small hatch also has the advantage of being electric because it has a flat bottom for passenger comfort and cargo capacity. Travelers may relax on the front seats because they can relax and have cushions while the IONIQ 5 is charging. This car has plenty of room for passengers' legs at the front and the rear. There is a 12-inch TFT and 12-inch electronic gauge panel within the same display panel. The first is the focal point of all amusement. Advanced voice recognition technology and smartphone applications are integrated. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included in this.DesignIts design is marked by several sharp edges and grooves that provide uniqueness to its boxed look. When looking either from the side, someone can't help but note the steeply slanted windscreens and the striking alloy wheels. The vehicle's vintage style, which includes square lights and taillights made of subpixel rendering, gives it a unique look. The Hyundai IONIQ 5 EV was named World Car of the Year 2022, thanks to its breathtaking exterior styling. The inside is undoubtedly significant, thanks to the EV architecture Hyundai uses to build the car. Better cabin space is one of the advantages of creating an entirely electric platform from the roots up.The IONIQ comes in five distinct colors: Atlas White, Cyber Gray, Digital Teal, Lucid Blue, Phantom Black, and Shooting Star.Price & BookingThe business still needs to disclose the car's pricing, although it is currently available for reservation for Rs 1,00,000. Hyundai is anticipated to make its full specifications and pricing known at the upcoming Greater Noida Auto Show. This highly appreciated electric car is anticipated to cost around Rs 40 lakh and Rs 50 lakh in India. This cost is extremely reasonable and will be warmly appreciated by the average client because of the top benefits of the hatchback.Share if you liked the article & Follow us for more EV related information!

India's electric vehicle market is expanding quickly. The scope of the Indian EV industry is growing as a result of the introduction of fresh EVs, which are mostly being pushed by two- and three-wheeler manufacturers. On the contrary, the market has expanded significantly due to several incentives and subsidy-driven EV policies implemented by different state governments.The Gujarat EV Policy seeks to provide an all-encompassing answer to the problems preventing the proliferation of EVs. On the one hand, it attempts to give the clients incentives and discounts to increase demand. By incentivizing the infrastructure producers, it seeks to create strong EV charge stations. Additionally, the Gujarat EV Policy aims to encourage automakers' production of more EVs. Let us look at how the Gujarat State Government has subsidised EVs through different policies and incentives.What Comes Under The Policy?The Gujarat EV Policy will be in effect for five years, from July 1, 2021, to June 30, 2025. The state's automobile industry should migrate to e - mobility, according to the main goal of the Gujarat EV strategy. Gujarat is intended to become a center for producing EVs and related machinery. Through the EV strategy, the state government hopes to promote start-ups and invest in the electric transportation industry and related support industries like analytics and information systems. By lowering pollution levels in the state, it also intends to enhance environmental quality.A subsidy of up to Rs. 20000 for two-wheelers, Rs. 50000 for three-wheelers, and Rs. 1.5 lakh for four-wheelers was set aside under the Gujarat EV Policy. The Gujarat EV Policy intends to fund 20,000 EV four-wheelers, 70,000 EV three-wheelers, and 110,000 two-wheelers throughout the four-year operational term. A maximum of 200,000 electric vehicles are designed to be supported under the strategy in the state.TargetsThe Gujarat EV Policy plans to establish a robust EV charging infrastructure in addition to electric automobiles. To do this, the policy stipulated a 25% capital subsidy on gear and technology for the responsibility of business Charging infrastructure for two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and four-wheelers, up to a maximum of Rs. 10 lakh. First, 250 commercial, public EV charging stations will use this.Additionally, for the duration of the policy, the Gujarati government declared a 100% exemption from power duty for EV charging stations. Additionally, it was announced that, except for the farm connection, State Distribution Licensees (DisComs) would permit the charging of EVs from an existing consumer connection at the current rate.We will look at how the subsidies impact the purchasing cost of the EVs. Lets take Ather 450X for an example. The cost of Ather 450X is around 1.77Lakh (ex-showroom, Gujarat). After subsidy, the cost drops down to Rs. 1.57Lakh, with a subsidy of Rs. 20,000.How does it impact the Prospective buyers?Achieving cost equality among EVs and ICE vehicles depends in large part on subsidies. To overcome the initial pricing hurdles and increase customer interest in electric automobiles, the subsidies have to be maintained in the near future. Economies of scale may reduce EV pricing to the point where subsidies are no longer required as EV sales increase and battery technology develops. Understanding how subsidies and EV adoption interact will speed up India's transition to electric transportation.In the state of Gujarat, these subsidies are directly impacting the sales growth of the EV market. The policy is highly generous to the prospective buyers and encourages them to adopt EV technology efficiently. Until July of this year, the sale of electric cars (EVs) in the state climbed by 200% over the same period last year. In the first half of 2022, the number of electric car sales exceeded 30,000, up from 9,917 in the initial half of 2021. The progress is eye-catching and promising for the coming future.Highlights of the SchemeEstablishing charging stations at fuel pumps will be permitted.Facilities for housing and business will soon have charging stations.Within four years, gasoline worth five crore rupees would be saved by e-vehicles registered at the Gujarat RTO by being free from the registration charge.At least 6 lakh tonnes of CO2 emissions will be cut.Through DBT, subsidies of up to Rs. 20,000 for two-wheelers, Rs. 50,000 for three-wheelers, and up to Rs. 1.5 lakh for four-wheelers would be instantly deposited to bank accounts.

India's market for electric scooters is now booming, and an increasing number of companies are introducing their models to this market.  Range concerns, though, is one of the main worries that consumers have when purchasing an e-scooters because charging stations are still in their infancy. While some companies are concentrating primarily on the network for charging, others are delivering devices with a respectable commuting range in an effort to solve this issue.Your riding style will determine the range. Your scooter's electric motor will use more energy the quicker and more forcefully you ride. Limiting abrupt acceleration and braking throughout your bike will extend your range. Rather, steadily pick up speed till you attain your desired riding pace. For an extended range distance, keep your speed steady for almost as much as you can.A particular motor size requires greater energy output results in even more battery capacity, which correlates to a lengthier e-scooter range. A typical e-scooter can go 20 kilometres at an ordinary speed of 30 kilometres per hour and has a storage capacity of roughly 250 Wh. Extremely powerful e-scooters may travel up to 120 km per charge and have capacities that are measured in the thousands of watt hours.For instance, let us look at a illustration to help you out with the range dynamics ➖If you need to calculate how much range you can squeeze out from your EV with a particular speed and battery size, Simple maths is, Distance = Speed x TimeFor time, you need to find out battery capacity and nominal motor power of your EV (the consumption), Time = Battery capacity / Power consumptionSo if you have a scooter with battery capacity of 250Wh and battery consumption of 250W and you choose a speed of 40km/h. Then, you can cover a range of,Time = 250Wh/250W = 1hrHence, the Range is deduced to, Distance = 40km/h x 1h = 40kmHowever it is just a laboratory range and real-life range may vary a lot as it depends on many derivative factors. So, let us just glance at some of the electric two wheelers that are presently available for purchase in India and have a riding range of more than 100 km:Ola S1 proWhen Ola S1 Pro is compared with an ICE scooter, its fun factor cannot be disputed. You may choose between Eco, Normal, Sports, and Hyper settings. By default, the scooter starts off in Normal mode. With a full charge, the scooter's 3.97kWh lithium-ion battery pack can propel the EV up to a range of 170 kilometres in eco mode. To charge it from  0 to 100%, it requires well over 6.5 hours and costs roughly 15% every hour. The top speed of the Ola S1 pro in turbo mode is 110 km/h. The 5.5kW BLDC hub motor in the Ola S1 pro allows the EV to speed from 0 to 40 kmph in 4.3 seconds, but it requires 9.8 seconds to hit 60 kmph.Okaya Faast F4The twin 72V LFP battery pack that powers the Okaya Faast F4 gives it a maximum capacity of 4.4 kWh.
