Baja Chetak EV spy photos leaked: All you can expect
Recent reports of the Chetak e-scooter test mule on Indian roads indicate that Bajaj is working on a cheaper version of the vehicle. The model's appearance and design were unaltered in the spy photos that quickly went viral online. But there was a noticeable difference at the back wheel. The electric motor of the spotted Chetak scooter was situated on the hub. The rear tyre rim was completely covered, in contrast to the Chetak that was previously in use. The latest model has a multi-spoke alloy wheel and a direct-drive electric motor. The forthcoming model could exclude the earlier single-sided unit given that the spotted Chetak has a double-sided swingarm. Here are some additional details regarding the updated e-scooter. According to the spy photos, the more economical Chetak variation would maintain the same design as the present one. According to rumours, the carmaker, in an effort to save costs, may make a few small changes to the bodywork by converting from the present metal to plastic. The new Chetak EV will be powered by a 2.9kWh battery that will be connected to a new hub-mounted motor. Another cost-cutting effort is being made with this measure. It is clear from all of these changes that the carmaker wants to release a cost-effective Chetak. The cost of the current model is Rs. 1.15 lakh (ex-showroom). The future edition may cost less than a lakh with cost-effective tweaks. Sooner or later, more precise information is anticipated to be made public.Bajaj just launched a brand-new model, the N150, to their 150cc motorcycle inventory. The motorcycle's 149.6cc single-cylinder engine produces 14.5bhp and 13.5Nm and costs Rs. 1.18 lakh (ex-showroom) in India. It has a headlamp that has an LED projector in the middle and two LED DRLs on either side of it. Additionally, it comes in three colour choices: Metallic Pearl White, Ebony Black, and Racing Red. The Suzuki Gixxer, Hero Xtreme 160R, and TVS Apache RTR 160 4V are the new motorcycle's main rivals in the market.

A cost-effective electric vehicle (EV) with a starting price of between Rs. 12.5 lakh and Rs. 16.6 lakh (ex-showroom) is about to be released in India by the Czech carmaker SKODA. The business wants to compete with current models like the Tata Nexon.ev, Mahindra XUV400, and the future Citroen eC3 Aircross while riding the wave of EV popularity in the nation. SKODA Auto board member Martin Jahn discussed the company's goals during a gathering in Vietnam, where it recently started doing business.The business is looking at joint ventures and opportunities for regional production.SKODA is looking at a number of partnerships and localization techniques to produce an inexpensive EV for the Indian market. The MEB platform from Volkswagen might be modified for regional manufacturing; alternatively, a new electric platform could be developed in collaboration with a regional original equipment manufacturer (OEM). Given their prior partnerships on the MEB platform and powertrains, Mahindra may be a prospective partner for the carmaker.Electrifying current models is being consideredOne of SKODA's existing models may be converted into an entry-level EV for India. The top competitors are KUSHAQ and SLAVIA since they both rest on the MQB A0 IN platform. SKODA might save expenses associated with designing and constructing a new model from scratch and increase production effectiveness by electrifying these cars. For the desired pricing range, a single-motor front-wheel-drive setup with a battery capacity of 40 to 45 kWh would be appropriate.Future goals and anticipated launch date for SKODAIn 2025, SKODA's cheap EV is anticipated to arrive in North America. Prior to that, the business intends to release the ENYAQ EV in the premium segment. The automaker's development ambitions in the ASEAN area include a greater component aimed towards India.

Ev sales in India expected to reach 20 million by 2030
By 2030, India's annual sales of electric vehicles are projected to be close to 20 million units, with the majority of those sales coming from electric two- and three-wheelers.According to Kaushik Madhavan, Global Head and Vice President, of the Consulting, Automotive and Transportation, MarketsandMarkets Research, "Growth in EV volumes will be driven by increased model availability, positive customer sentiments, and push from governments."By then, electric two- and three-wheelers are anticipated to contribute more than 90% of the yearly volumes. From 0.6 million in 2022 to 0.8 million in 2023, 1.1 million in 2024, and 14.4 million in 2030, sales of electric two-wheelers are predicted to increase. He predicted that mass, individual, and shared transit will all play a significant role in India's electrification in the years to come."While the most recent FAME subsidy reduction has had an impact on the sales of electric two-wheelers, I think it just has a passing effect. I'm hopeful that things will get better and that the volume will go up. Electric two-wheeler OEMs are now focusing on affordable electric two-wheelers for the Indian market after the FAME II subsidy was lowered, he said.According to Madhavan, new business models are beginning to emerge in India's electric mobility sector, and localised aggregate development for EVs is reducing dependency on imports and developing domestic competencies and skills.The creation of Centres of Excellence for e-mobility solutions is one of the crucial models. In R&D for EV aggregates for local and international markets, EV OEMs from all categories are spending. Additionally, collaborations are being established for data analytics/predictive maintenance products with academic institutions and technological start-ups.The best course of action, according to him, is to concentrate on developing in India the skill and expertise necessary to provide cost-effective solutions exclusively for Indian clients.Other methods include prioritising motor technology and segment clusters, collaborations with microfinance & NBFCs to help the purchase of electric two and three-wheelers in Tier 2 & 3 locations, and fleet electrification through institutional captive sales.The circular economy will also play a major role in the development of e-mobility. According to Madhavan, one of the main elements influencing future investment in India would be the circularity of the whole value chain.
