The US election's result has observed bittersweet reactions from all over the world. Donald Trump has once again climbed up the presidential chair by riding a worldwide wave of “right” ideology. Since the inception of his 2nd tenure, Donald Trump has already taken decisions to put “America first”. One such decision by the President-elect is to put a 25% tariff on all products imported into the US from Mexico and Canada and a 35% tariff on products from China. This hard-power decision taken by Trump has been feared by many economists throughout the world. But what are they feared about? What does it mean for India? Are EVs in India going to be more expensive? Let's find out! The Decision It is safe to say that the steps taken by Trump’s administration do represent the majoritarian will of the American people as he was already advocating for a 60 per cent tariff on imports from China, and 10-20 per cent on others. According to him, high tariffs will boost manufacturing in the US which will rebalance trade with other countries, and improve government finances. The President-elect announced the tariff imposition on the top trading partners of the USA–Mexico, Canada and China on the social media platform Truth Social.&nbsp; Earlier, the Inflation Reduction Act has already introduced various tax credits for EV companies to set up their manufacturing units in the USA. In fact, according to a report by nrdc.org, the USA has already surpassed China as the most favourable country for EV investments. Now, with the tariff hanging over, it will be interesting to note the reactions of the worldwide EV companies.&nbsp; The effect&nbsp; According to research by economists at the Peterson Institute of International Economics, Trump's policies might wind up costing the average American household more than $2,600 a year. Nonetheless, it seems that both Republicans and Democrats support the concept of increasing tariffs.&nbsp; Free market analysts and advocates of globalisation have shown serious concern over Trump’s decision, as the tariff wars between countries may come at a cost of inflation and global slowdown. Amid such volatility, the comparatively nascent market of electric vehicles has also come under threat.&nbsp;Although, as per studies, the USA only accounts for 7-10% contribution to the global supply chain of EVs, the direct repercussions will be faced by the companies who have their manufacturing or assembly units in the USA.&nbsp;&nbsp; Recent reports by Bloomberg have shown that BYD intends to reduce prices to tackle tariffs and not shift the burden on consumers. The step came after Tesla offered a price cut on its Model Y in China. BYD, the Chinese giant has been in constant competition with Tesla for the rank of No1 in worldwide sales.However, communist China provides a great government intervention to absorb the losses which the company makes in order to remain in the competition. Although this policy is not designed to serve in the long run, BYD has already reported to cut down its prices.&nbsp; Trump’s decision has invoked chances of potential retaliation by Mexico and China, while Canada has started negotiations. Once an advocate of free trade, the USA seems to shift its policy towards protectionist ideas, risking a global slowdown, amid the broken dispute resolution mechanism of the World Trade Organization (WTO). The USA as the third largest EV market in the world accounts for 10% of the overall global market worth, after China accounting for 60% and Europe accounting for 25%. However, in the USA, approximately 70% of the sold EVs are domestically manufactured while $19 billion worth of electric vehicles are imported, according to the USA customs clearance website. Hence, it can be said that after the tariffs, the global EV industry may be affected by at least $19 billion. Moreover, the raw material imported from other countries to manufacture EVs may also add to the losses, taking the number to another higher value.&nbsp; Impact on India&nbsp; India is an import-oriented country whose overall trade remains in deficit, however, India has a trade surplus with the USA. That said, if the inflation in the US market rises, the demand in the market will reduce, ultimately leading to a loss of a considerable amount of India’s foreign exchange. It is also interesting to note that in Trump 1.0, India has already lost its Generalised System of Preference (GSP) status which obliged a developed nation to buy certain products from a developing country. However, as per SBI, there has been a significant rise in the trade of India with the USA despite revoking the GSP status which is a good sign for the overall Indian market.&nbsp; With bilateral trade over $120 billion in FY24, the US continues to be India's largest trading partner, marginally surpassing India's trade with China. India's dependence on the US market has increased over the last ten years; currently, 18% of India's exports go to the US, up from 10% in 2010–11. India exports a wide range of products to the US, including engineering equipment, electronics, and textiles. The EV companies planning to launch themselves in the US market might have to change their plans. On the other hand, the earlier cut in the fed rates by the USA might indicate a good time for EV companies to go global. Hence, EV companies must navigate between this opportunity and challenge to make their way to the world. Whereas, when it comes to pricing, it is highly unlikely that any Indian EV company will significantly change the cost of its EV due to this update.

Enjoying easily available loans for vehicles is a rare luxury. And when it comes to EVs, the lane gets more narrower. However, with the rise of EV financing institutions like Green NBFCs (Non-banking financing companies), financing your EV is now easier than ever before. Companies like <a href="https://www.ecofy.co.in/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Ecofy</a> and <a href="https://evfin.co/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">evfin by Greaves</a> many others have entered the EV financing market to offer a wholesome EV financing Ecosystem, so much so that the companies are now providing a 5-minute loan procedure! What exactly are Green NBFCs? How they are better?&nbsp; Green NBFCs are institutions that provide cheap and easy loans to any entity that has decided to reduce its carbon footprint. Green NBFCs are the answer to the problems customers generally face when they seek loans for their electric vehicles from regular banks. The main issues lie in the availability, process, and terms &amp; conditions of the loans often provided by these banks. And how NBFCs are better? Simple! Because they solve these issues. How are Green NBFCs better? The Rate of Interest by these NBFCs, generally, starts from 5.99 % only, unlike the high-rate loans given by banks. Obviously, it depends on your CIBIL score. Well, some banks do provide lower interest rates, however, on average any bank takes 1-2 days for any loan approval. In contrast, a Green NBFC only takes a minimum of 5 minutes to approve your loan. Moreover, banks charge you a significant amount in the case of foreclosure but when it comes to NBFCs these charges are next to nothing and sometimes, literally nothing. In addition, financial products by green NBFCs are optimised for EV purchases, unlike banks’ general financial products for every vehicle. Sometimes due to your CIBIL score, you might not be eligible for loans in banks but NBFCs might help you out.&nbsp; How to claim your 5-min loan? Although all Green NBFCs follow almost the same procedure, some steps might differ or vary depending on the company. But not to worry, if you are stuck anywhere in between, just call our EVGURUS at 9099900563 and we will help you navigate through this journey. To apply for any EV loan we highly recommend you thoroughly refer to the steps mentioned below–&nbsp; Step1- Login to your NBFC app After selecting your Green NBFC, open the page and log in with your phone number to create your ID. You will receive an OTP to finalise your profile.&nbsp; Step2- Select Vehicle After logging in, choose the EV which you want to buy. Assuming that you are trying to finance your EV only after selecting your preference, just search for your favourite ride for which you want to sanction your loan. Step3- Digital KYC The NBFC app will further require you to perform the “Know Your Customer (KYC)” exercise. In this, you have to upload your documents such as an Aadhar Card, PAN card, Income Proof, an additional address verification document such as an electricity bill and some other family background details. Step 4- Bureau check&nbsp; Further, the app will check your CIBIL score and customise an offer for you. Step 5- Offer Generation&nbsp; Following the Bureau Check, you will be provided with a loan offer starting from Rate Of Interest(ROI) as low as 5.99%. Moreover, you will get to know the downpayment options which you can opt as per your requirements.&nbsp; Step 6- eNACH process Electronic National Automated Clearing House or eNACH is a process to verify your bank account details from which your instalments will be paid. The NBFC will first ask customers to enter their bank details and then usually sends Rs1 to the customer’s account for verification. For further authenticity, the NBFC might also ask you to upload your Digital sign and a selfie. Following the procedure and after accepting all the terms and conditions, the user can proceed to the next step. Step 7- Sanction letter- Hurray! The Loan Approved! Following the eNACH step, the NBFC institution will take a few minutes to process all the data and will provide a hand-to-hand sanction letter of loan approval. And VIOLA, We are halfway there! Step 8- Walk into your nearest showroom Now walk into your nearest showroom and show your sanction letter to the Dealer. After crosschecking all the details, submit your downpayment amount and receive a receipt for your payment.&nbsp; If you are planning to buy your ride online, then also you don’t have to worry a bit. You can contact the dealer in virtual mode and make all transactions online. In the end, you will just need the receipt of the downpayment, either hardcopy or softcopy no worries.&nbsp; Step 9-&nbsp; Submit the receipt &amp; enter personal details The downpayment receipt received from the dealer is further needed to be uploaded on NBFC’s platform. After uploading the receipt, the user is asked to enter personal information such as address proof, income proof and some other documents. Here, the same documents that you may have uploaded for the digital KYC will be needed again to move further. Step 10- UTR generation&nbsp; And just like this, your loan will be disbursed. The NBFC platform will generate a Unique Transaction Reference(UTR) as proof of loan disbursement. The customer is required to share this UTR with the dealer in order to check the completion of the transaction.&nbsp; Step 11-&nbsp; Enjoy your ride Well done! You have hit the jackpot of EV financing deals! Now roll out your brand new EV from the showroom and make your journey more beautiful than the destination! Attaboy NBFCs!&nbsp; Switching the commute trend from conventional gasoline-powered vehicles to electric counterparts is a challenging job. This transition of trend is further pushed by the government’s subsidy and EV companies' constant effort to provide a pocket-friendly product. However, the importance of credit-providing companies is often overlooked in this sector. It is for companies like Ecofy, and evfin by Greaves and many more to carry the responsibility of bridging the transition cost for EV enthusiasts. Creating a comprehensive ecosystem is very necessary to promote EV adoption in India and Green NBFCs with their optimised and cheap EV loans are an important stakeholder in the revolution. So if you are looking to finance your EV, then these NBFCs are worth checking out!

The growing demand for cleaner, sustainable modes of transportation has fueled the rise of electric vehicles (EVs) in India. Among the front-runners in the EV two-wheeler segment is Ather Energy, a Bengaluru-based startup that has made a significant impact with its innovative electric scooters. Established in 2013 by Tarun Mehta and Swapnil Jain, <a href="https://evindia.online/electric-vehicle-companies/ather-energy-ev" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Ather Energy</a> has introduced cutting-edge electric scooters and invested heavily in building a robust charging infrastructure across India. Ather’s fast-charging stations, branded as Ather Grid, form the backbone of its efforts to make electric two-wheelers a viable and convenient option for the Indian public. This blog explores the Ather grid charging station locations, numbers, costs associated with these stations, and how these stations play a crucial role in the country's EV revolution. Ather Energy with its wide spectrum of service plans - Ather Care, Ather Care Plus, and Ather Care Max - is designed to cater to varying customer needs. These plans cover a duration of one year or 10,000 kilometres, whichever comes first, offering extensive maintenance options to ensure a seamless ownership experience. These plans provide varying levels of service, ensuring that customers can select a package tailored to their usage and preferences. This move highlights Ather’s commitment to customer satisfaction, alongside its efforts to build a robust charging infrastructure. Where are Ather Fast Charging Stations Located? Ather Energy has strategically positioned its fast-charging stations across India to ensure convenience for electric scooter users. The Ather Grid network is primarily found in metropolitan cities, tier-2 cities, and key commercial hubs, making it easier for riders to find charging points during daily commutes or longer journeys. The company has placed these stations at malls, cafes, office spaces, tech parks, gyms, and other frequently visited locations to enhance accessibility. The goal is to ensure EV riders never experience range anxiety, a common concern for electric vehicle owners. Strategically placed, these stations offer fast and reliable charging, enabling riders to quickly recharge and get back on the road. Ather Grid stations are equipped with fast chargers that drastically reduce charging time. Using the Ather Grid app, riders can locate nearby stations, get real-time charger availability, and track their sessions remotely. Charging stations are found in cities like Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, Ahmedabad, and Kolkata, with Ather expanding to smaller cities. If you are not using Ather Grid App then also it’s completely alright, just instead of blindly searching “Ather charging station near me,” explore authenticated charging offered by the company itself <a href="https://www.atherenergy.com/locate-ather-dealer?selectedTab=charging" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent;">(click here and find the Ather charging station near you</a>). This aligns with Ather's vision of ensuring easy access to charging facilities across India, promoting the shift to electric vehicles. How Many Fast Charging Stations Does Ather Have? As of 2024, Ather Energy boasts an extensive network of fast-charging stations. With Ather Grid, the company has established over 2700+ charging points across India which is 230+ cities, and the number continues to rise as Ather aggressively expands its network. The company plans to further expand in the years to come. This makes Ather one of the leading players in terms of EV charging infrastructure in India’s two-wheeler segment. The company has strategically chosen high-traffic locations for its charging stations, ensuring that customers have access to a reliable charging solution no matter where they are in a major city. Ather's fast chargers are designed to work seamlessly with its range of scooters, offering convenience and speed to customers. Additionally, Ather continues to partner with various establishments such as restaurants, tech parks, and malls to further expand the network, making charging even more accessible to everyday commuters. Charging Costs at Ather Fast Charging Stations One of the key advantages of Ather’s fast-charging infrastructure is its pricing model, designed to be affordable and straightforward. Initially, Ather offered free charging as a promotion for the Ather Grid network. However, as the network expanded and the adoption of electric scooters increased, Ather introduced a paid model in several locations. The charging cost typically depends on the location and type of service. As of 2024, Ather Energy offers a subscription-based model for its users, providing a set number of free charging sessions each month at Ather Grid stations. For those exceeding the free limit or without a subscription, a per-minute pricing system is in place. On average, the cost is approximately ₹15-20 per session, allowing for a top-up of about 15 km of range in 10 minutes, depending on the charge needed. Factors influencing charging costs include battery size and capacity, charging efficiency, local electricity rates, and charging speed. For frequent users, the subscription model is a cost-effective choice, while the pay-as-you-go system offers flexibility for occasional users. As Ather expands its network and more EVs hit the road, the company continuously evaluates its pricing to keep it competitive while maintaining premium charging speeds. Do Ather Fast Chargers Support Other Brand EVs? Taking the developing phase of the Indian EV industry into account, it makes less sense for companies to isolate their charging infrastructure for other electric vehicles. So, yes, you can charge other electric vehicles (EVs) that follow the IS17017 (Part 2 / Sec 7) 2023 connector standard. The standard represents a category of light electric vehicles (LEVs), vehicles i.e. electric two- and three-wheelers, and microcars. Moving a step forward, the company has also unveiled its connector technology which will enable any electric vehicle to explore “fast-charging” solutions across the country, irrespective of the brand of the electric vehicle. Moreover, in an exclusive move, Ather Energy has teamed up with Hero Vida to provide a wide range of charging stations to their users. This relationship translates into the user’s convenience in fast charging their respective electric scooter in any charging station operated by Ather or Vida. This partnership is one of its kind as the Ather Grid option does not provide the fast-charging option to other EVs; it provides just a regular charging point. However, if the user owns a Vida electric scooter, they can fast-charge their electric scooter in Ather grid.&nbsp; How Fast is Ather's Fast Charging? One of the standout features of Ather’s fast-charging network is its speed. Ather scooters are equipped with lithium-ion batteries that support fast charging, and the Ather Grid stations are capable of charging these batteries at 1.5 km of range per minute. This means that in just 10 minutes of charging, a rider can add approximately 15 km to their scooter’s range. This quick top-up feature is particularly beneficial for urban commuters who may need a fast charge during their daily travel or in emergencies. The fast-charging capability ensures that Ather owners can minimize downtime and quickly get back on the road. The fast-charging stations offer the convenience of charging up to 80% of the battery in about 40-50 minutes, depending on the model and the starting charge level. This makes Ather’s fast-charging network one of the most efficient for two-wheelers in India, offering a significant reduction in waiting time compared to home charging. Maintaining a premium image Just like Nilis Bohlin’s invention of the three-point seat belt for Volvo, who launched his product patent-free, embracing safety over profit, Ather Energy can also follow this “high road”. No doubt, the R&amp;D of Ather Energy is dedicated to promoting the charging EV infrastructure of India, the technologies like Grid Network and Connector can truly benefit the entire ecosystem. With the Ather Grid network, the company is addressing one of the key challenges in EV adoption: access to fast, reliable, and widespread charging solutions.&nbsp; As India continues to shift towards electric mobility, Ather Energy’s proactive approach to building a fast-charging network will likely serve as a blueprint for other companies aiming to establish their presence in the EV market.

Discover Ather Energy’s fast-charging network in India: 2700+ stations across 230 cities, affordable costs, and support for other EV brands. Explore Ather Grid’s strategic locations, pricing plans, and the role it plays in India’s EV revolution.

From Reels’/ Short’s comment sections to Quora and WhatsApp University, the most recurring argument given against EV adoption is that the price of the battery replacement will ultimately make your EV cost equal to its ICE counterpart. But is it really true? Not surprisingly, all such claims you come across on social media are generally based on a single philosophy i.e. “I HEARD SOMEWHERE”. No doubt, the battery is the heart of an electric vehicle, which asks for replacement after 8-10 years (approx). All over the internet, you will find various articles showing varying costs of battery replacement prices. To be honest, companies do not generally reveal their battery replacement costs for whatever reasons, but you don’t have to worry because <a href="https://evindia.online/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">EVINDIA </a>is at your service. From the extensive market study, we have deduced one thing for sure, the replacement cost may vary from company to company despite the battery being of the same capacity. However, it is still possible to get a specific detailed idea about any such future expenses. In this blog, we will give you a detailed analysis of the battery-replacement cost of the major companies in the 2-wheeler electric vehicle segment so that you can make an informed choice.&nbsp; Battery Type &amp; Capacity: Electric Vehicles are majorly equipped with Lithium-ion batteries whose capacities are measured in kWh (Kilowatt hours). In the two-wheeler segments, batteries generally start from 2kWh and go up to 4kWh, according to your increasing budget. As you might have suspected, the battery replacement price is higher for higher-capacity batteries.&nbsp; The main thing to note here is that, unlike the general perception, batteries do not get completely torn off overnight. Actually, batteries consist of multiple cells which in the course of time start to degrade and result in lower range and efficiency. Let me extinguish some of your worries here, these cells are repairable which in turn can extend your overall battery life. Now you might say “So what, we still would have to change our battery after some time” Well yes! But that doesn’t mean it is going to cost you more or equal than ICE vehicles. Let me make my case! Ola Battery Price: The 2-wheeler EV giant <a href="https://evindia.online/ola-electric-buyers-guide" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Ola Electric</a> provides a range of electric vehicles, from 2kWh battery capacity to 4kWh. In the 2kWh battery segment, the company provides the Ola S1X model whose battery will cost you somewhere around ₹55,000.

This vehicle variant has not hit the roads yet! The company has already received orders, but the delivery date is yet to be announced. Therefore, we were not able to find a substantive range of its battery price.

Growth in the <a href="https://evindia.online/electric-vehicles" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">EV</a> industry in India has been accompanied by a wide information gap between users and companies. Though many companies have come up with a number of offerings, the same was not always crystal clear and easy to understand for the customer eyeing a particular product. This challenge was further exacerbated by the fact that new technology and its applications were completely a new foray for the Indian automobile industry, hence requiring explaining to the audiences. The government subsidies at both the demand and supply end created an initial boom in the EV sector, resulting in a plethora of new EV companies entering the market. The problem had changed from "What's the choice?" to "What to choose?" With new EV companies sprouting without end at home and abroad, the challenge of making sense of the market and the decisions one must make in purchasing a vehicle became increasingly difficult. Consumers were bombarded with so much scattered and confusing information. With this glut of information, selecting the right EV turns into searching for a needle in a haystack.&nbsp; This is where <a href="https://evindia.online/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">EVINDIA</a> steps into the picture acting as a bridge between EV companies and prospective customers, empowering consumers in their electric-mobility journey by conducting extensive research and putting in a tireless effort to build the much-needed information bridge.

EVINDIA: Leading India's Electric Vehicle Revolution with Expert Insights and Community Engagement

The Rise of EVINDIA: Leading the Electric Vehicle Revolution in India

India is all set to play a pivotal role in the rapid transformation of the global electric vehicle (EV) market. The global market for EVs is estimated to be at $255 billion, according to a report just published by Axis Securities and is seen to take off to $2,108 billion by 2033. This would mean that it will have recorded a CAGR of around 23% during the period from 2023 to 2033. It tells us about the rising demand for mobility solutions to meet the need for cleaner alternatives, especially in countries like India, as rapid urbanisation and rising environmental concerns form the basis of their demands. Indian Electric Vehicle Market Growth The Indian electric vehicle market is going to grow dramatically in the coming years. Annual volume will reach as high as 10 million units by 2033 from 1.7 million units during the financial year 2023-24. This growth will be governed by various factors in the form of government policies, new product launches, cost reduction of raw materials to manufacture, and rapid technological developments. The country's EV revolution will not only be limited to 2W and 3W. In the coming decade, the adoption of electric buses, passenger vehicles, and even heavy-duty trucks is expected to pick up pace. Infrastructure improvement coupled with affordable electric vehicle models in the market are the root cause of this projected growth. Government Support The Indian government has played an important role in pushing EV adoption across the nation. Replenishing the exhausted FAME, which stood for Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric and Hybrid Vehicles in India, the new PM E-Drive Scheme is part of several electric two-wheelers and three-wheeler subsidies totalling ₹10,900 crore, all to be released within the next two years, for a push on selling electric two, three, and four wheelers. The proposal will support the sale of 24.79 lakh two-wheelers, 3.16 lakh three-wheelers, and 14,028 e-buses by 2025. The government's new tax-friendly policy has made EVs affordable. Electric cars are taxed at a mere 5%, while hybrid vehicles pay a 28% tax, and the heavy tax of 49% is borne by the ICE vehicles. So, all these incentives have levelled the playing field for EVs, and consumers will find them increasingly accessible, driving further growth. Infrastructure Development: The Driver of Growth The best part that would lead to widespread EV acceptance is the robust charging infrastructure. Keeping in view this very demand, the Indian government is going to spend ₹2,000 crores in developing public EV charging stations. Of course, these funds would support the installation of 22,100 fast chargers for electric four-wheelers, 1,800 for electric buses and 48,400 for electric two and three-wheelers. This infrastructure development is even more necessary because range anxiety remains one of the most significant concerns of potential EV buyers. For example, to promote electric trucks and ambulances, ₹ 500 crores have been put towards supporting the adoption of electric trucks. Similarly, ₹ 500 crores have been allocated for hybrid and fully electric ambulances. These are not only meeting the high-rising demands for clean commercial and emergency vehicles but also indicate the long-term vision of the government as the sector-wide supports EVs. Rising Semiconductor Industry in India By far, the biggest challenge for the EV industry is indeed the availability of semiconductors. Electric vehicles are essentially run by semiconductors- everything from battery efficiency to vehicle safety systems. India has made its strides here: the country has been working relentlessly to develop its own semiconductor manufacturing capacities. The collaborations with the US, Japan, and Australia provide India a platform to establish itself as a major leader in the semiconductor sector. An example can be cited in the form of awarding the government project of setting up the semiconductor manufacturing plant to 3RrdiTech Inc., the leader in a technology house. This is very important because the government feels that for these few vital elements of electric vehicles demanded increasingly, control over the supply chain must be independently warranted. For this purpose, entry into semiconductor manufacturing can be seen as a forward-looking approach not just for the EV sector but all other dependent sectors on the technology, such as telecom and consumer electronics. If such initiatives work out well, India plans to restrict its reliance on imports and will ensure that the EV sector keeps growing free from interference by outside forces. EV Revolution in India - A Reality, Not a Myth India's electric vehicle revolution is no more a dream, but increasingly real. At a time when the world EV market is projected to touch more than $2 trillion by 2033, India is gaining momentum in becoming one of the leaders in this space. India government policies such as the PM E-Drive Scheme, along with investment in subsidies, lowering taxes and more emphasis on infrastructure development, will see more EVs emerging on the roads in the years to come. This focus on making semiconductors domestically in India will be crucial to keeping the momentum of the Indian EV industry going. Association with global partners and further local supply chain development will reduce the costs of manufacturing even further and help India reach its ambitious targets. The future of India's EV industry is promising. Growth there has been achieved through innovation and policy support. The country continues to embrace sustainable mobility solutions, and thereby the figure for EVs on Indian roads will continue to rise, doing its part for global carbon emissions reduction and fighting climate change. The EV revolution is here, and it's only going to get bigger.

How Indian future EV industry looks like

How Indian future EV industry looks like: Post PM E-Drive Expectations

The festival season is the ideal time for consumers to splurge since manufacturers dangle varieties of discounts and offers. Continuing this spree, <a href="https://evindia.online/electric-vehicle-companies/ola-electric-ev" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Ola Electric</a>, India's fastest-growing electric vehicle manufacturer, announced their biggest festival sale under the banner of BOSS - Biggest Ola Season Sale. This sale promises big announcements, bigger launches, and the biggest deals, which all lead the way for consumers to embrace the electric revolution by switching over to eco-friendly electric vehicles (EVs). With this initiative, Ola is not just expecting to advance its market position but also enable customers to ride home the "BOSS" of all EVs - the <a href="https://evindia.online/ola-electric-buyers-guide" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Ola S1</a> series. This festive sale is particularly crucial as Ola Electric is entering a phase of high-simmering competition in the electric two-wheeler market and also sales decline. The continuous loss of market share by the company makes the time of this offer crucial for the company. However, this BOSS sale could turn out to be quite strategic enough to revive the interest of consumers and therefore the demand for these electric two-wheelers. Here's what the BOSS sale has in store, and why now is the perfect time to go electric with Ola: Big Announcements and Bigger Deals Ola Electric has lined up some of the most attractive deals the EV market has ever seen under its BOSS sale. The most eye-catching announcement of all is the cut on the much-in-demand <a href="https://evindia.online/product/ola-electric-s1-x-ev-2kwh" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Ola S1X 2kwhr</a> variant which now stands at ₹49,999 (terms and conditions applied). As this offer brings up to ₹25,000 off on the market price, it marks a new benchmark for affordable electric scooters in India. The Ola S1 X boasts impressive styling, intelligent features, and a robust performance. Thus, it is a great option for any first-time EV buyer. There is much more play with the Ola S1 range, given the sign of the biggest discounts across its portfolio beyond the S1 X. Moreover, the earlier pricey Ola S1 Pro is now available with a ₹20,000 discount and goes for ₹1,14,999. S1 Pro is the flagship from Ola and comes with more speed, more range, and more features, and this deal will appeal a lot to performance-centric electric scooter seekers. For the mid-range-seeker, there's also the Ola S1 Air available with a discount of ₹1,00,499. That cuts the original price tag by ₹7,000. This model has a light design and, with a decent on-paper range, is suitable for an urban commute. And yet more benefits for an all-rounded experience Sale does not mean cutting prices alone. Ola Electric has taken it further by offering trade-in benefits of up to ₹25,000 across its S1 range. So, an exchange bonus will reward the existing two-wheeler owners as well as trade in their old vehicle for a discount on a new Ola scooter. Additionally, access features of smart technology are also available in more advanced forms through app connectivity, navigation, and over-the-air updates for maximum user experience. Ola is also offering an extended warranty of 8 years on select models to give further peace of mind to consumers. This approach gives full confidence to the company on the durability and reliability of its electric scooters. If such concerns about charges remain, Ola to its credit has introduced fast-charging credits that could be a game-changer for city riders. With such advantages, the BOSS sale is no longer discounted but a complete package designed to make the switch to electric as convenient and inexpensive as possible.&nbsp; It's also a response to falling sales. It is a crucial time for Ola Electric, which has seen sales drop for months. In September 2024, the company recorded its lowest monthly sales of the year at 23,965 units, marking the second straight month of month-on-month decline. In addition, the market share for the company is as modest as 27% in September, having declined from more than 50% in April, indicating the growing level of competition in the EV space. Several factors have led to this collapse: greater competition from the traditional two-wheeler stalwarts like TVS Motor and Bajaj Auto, who came out with more modern models at competitive prices. The above companies gradually and consistently ate into the market share of Ola, so a major promotional thrust in the form of the BOSS sale was all the more imperative. The company's CEO Bhavish Aggarwal announced the BOSS sale through microblogging platform X, formerly Twitter, as a clear indicator that the company is eager to return to the market. The sale has been touted as an opportunity not only to bring new customers on board but also to reactivate old ones through special referral programs.&nbsp;Referral program and customer reactivation Besides these discounts and benefits, the Referral Program of Ola Electric continues, where it has been very popular among its customers. Any owner can refer friends or family to buy an Ola electric scooter, from which both the referrer and the new buyer will benefit. A referrer receives a reward worth ₹2,000, and a new customer receives a discount worth ₹1,000. Through this process, the brand promotes community engagement around the brand while offering an incentive to existing users through monetary rewards to further the sales of electric scooters from Ola. Time to Make the Switch This will be the perfect time for those interested in switching to electric, and they can ride home in the "BOSS" of all EVs. Whether the eco-conscious commuter or the new, cost-effective ride, something is there in Ola's BOSS for everybody. The BOSS sale represents a perfect combination of festival delight and trust-building measures by the company. No doubt, it marks an important ambition for Ola Electric in its journey to success despite strong competition in the market. Innovative models and attractive prices through a customer-first approach would help Ola Electric achieve a good bounce back during the festival season.

Releasing draft guidelines on setting up electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, the Ministry of Heavy Industries (MHI) aims to establish more than 22,000 EV chargers for electric four-wheelers, 1,800 chargers for e-buses and much more, according to a report by the Hindu Businessline.&nbsp; The step taken under the Prime Minister Electric Drive Revolution in Innovative Vehicle Enhancement (PM E-DRIVE) Scheme, has been shared with various stakeholders to register their inputs/ comments, citing ministry officials, the report added. Moreover, the scheme calls for the installation of charging infrastructure for electric two-wheelers (e-2Ws) and electric three-wheelers (e-3Ws), among other light EVs.&nbsp;&nbsp; The government seeks to promote participation among all of the stakeholders including charge point operators, EV charger manufacturers, state governments, urban local bodies (ULBs), government agencies, central-level ministries, discoms, highway authorities, and other central public sector enterprises (CPSEs). The PM E-DRIVE initiative aims to provide up to 80% subsidy on upstream infrastructure (behind-the-meter infrastructure) with an investment of ₹2,000 crores for the installation of public fast charging stations. It said that in extraordinary circumstances, the Ministry might take into account additional funding up to 100% of the project's cost, including upstream power infrastructure. As per the guidelines, MoPNG, MoRTH, the Ministry of Telecommunications, the Ministry of Tourism, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, the Ministry of Railways, the Ministry of Civil Aviation, the Ministry of Ports, and Shipping and Waterways are among the central-level Ministries that will also be required to submit proposals. “State governments and Central Ministries are also encouraged to carry out feasibility studies to identify suitable locations for EV PCS. These site assessments will help identify potential locations based on traffic patterns, proximity to major commercial spaces, land accessibility, sufficient power supply, and potential for grid upgrades to support the additional load,” citing MHI released draft guidelines, the Hindu businessline reported. Based on the data requested in Section 10.3, a technical committee led by an Additional/Joint Secretary, MHI, and comprising representatives from Niti Aayog, the Ministry of Power, and the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI), will shortlist the suggestions. Additionally, the technical committee's recommendations will be presented to the Project Implementation and Sanctioning Committee (PISC), and if approved, the project will be processed in the MHI for approval by the appropriate authority after consulting the Internal Finance Wing for approval. "The participating State government/Central Ministry will be informed about the total number of sanctioned charging stations, with a request to initiate the tendering process, following approval by the competent authority," the statement stated. Calculation of incentive The MHI added that the price per kW of the benchmark upstream cost set by BEE, as updated periodically, will be used to determine the appropriate incentive that is due to State governments and Central Ministries. Following finalisation and communication, MHI will release the incentive in three instalments: 30% of the total amount following the tender's issuance as a mobilisation advance, 40% following the deployment of EVSEs in accordance with the bid documents, and the remaining 30% following the charging stations' successful commercial operation. The MHI said, “This amount will be exclusively used for reimbursement of the upstream infrastructure cost based on the type of charging station. The applicable incentive amount will be released to the ‘tender inviting authority’. However, the Upstream Infrastructure (assets up to the meter) will belong to the relevant Discom in all circumstances,” the Hindu Businessline reported.

With the latest method developed by engineers of the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), now it is possible to accurately determine the health of EV batteries by using a small quantity of electric current. The performance and stability of high-capacity batteries in electric vehicles could be enhanced by their electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) technology. Moreover, by analyzing the health and charge of batteries the newly developed tool can also identify physical or chemical changes, and thermal features, predict battery life and point out causes of failures.&nbsp; Installing, using, and maintaining traditional EIS equipment is challenging due to its high cost and complexity. Furthermore, delivering current fluctuations of several amperes to a battery can result in severe electrical stress, raising the danger of battery failure or fire due to sensitivity and precision constraints. The KAIST technology minimises heat impacts and safety concerns during the measurement procedure by accurately measuring battery impedance with low current disturbances. It simplifies the integration of large and expensive components into EVs. The method has been shown to be successful in determining the electrochemical characteristics of batteries in a range of operating circumstances, such as varying temperatures and charge levels. “This system can be easily integrated into the battery management system of electric vehicles and has demonstrated high measurement accuracy, while significantly reducing the cost and complexity compared to traditional high-current EIS methods,” citing&nbsp; Kyeongha Kwon, an electrical engineering professor at KAIST, Assembly Magzine reported.&nbsp; He further said, “It can contribute to battery diagnosis and performance improvements not only for electric vehicles but also for energy storage systems,” the report added.&nbsp;

Following the partnership with SAIC-owned MG Motors, the Sajjan Jindal-led JSW Group is seeking collaboration with global automotive manufacturers to widen its presence in the electric vehicle industry, the TOI reported.&nbsp; According to the report, JSW is in talks with several Orignal Equipment Manufacturers (OEM). One of the OEMs is China-based Zhejiang Geely Holding Group. Earlier, in March, JSW Group and SAIC Motor joined hands under the name of JSW MG Motor India PVT LTD. The partnership is aimed to foster the manufacturing of ICE engines and electric vehicles. Aligning with its goals, the company intends to unveil a diverse fleet of vehicles including electric and hybrid rides to plug-in-hybrids.&nbsp; With SAIC Motor’s automotive expertise and the JSW Group’s manufacturing capacity, the joint venture is aiming to sell one million EVs in India by 2030. Therefore, the joint venture is seeking to capture around one-third of the domestic EV market. Under the partnership, the MG Cyberster electric sports car will be the first offering which is expected to be launched in 2025 under the luxury brand “MG Select.” As of now, the JSW Group owns a 35% share in JSW MG Motor India, a joint venture established with SAIC Motor in 2023. With 49% of the market, SAIC still holds the greatest position, followed by MG dealers and employees with 8% and private equity firm Everstone Capital with 49%. Before JSW MG Motor India is possibly listed, there have been rumours that JSW may raise its ownership to 51%. The business hasn't verified these rumours, though. Such a move might give JSW majority control over the joint venture if it materialises.

The mobility industry in South and Southeast Asia's growing countries may absorb up to $1.3 trillion in green capital by 2030, with India leading the way, according to a new analysis published on Friday by LeapFrog Investments, Temasek, Mahindra Last Mile Mobility Limited, and Battery Smart. Souleymane Ba, partner and co-head of climate investment strategy at LeapFrog Investments, indicated that they have identified a $1.3 trillion potential for private markets and the impact investing community to transform the future of mobility. According to the study, the cost of owning an electric vehicle is less than that of internal combustion engine counterparts in India. The survey further underlines that electric scooters and three-wheelers are already $40-$112 less expensive per year to acquire than fuel alternatives. "Low-cost electric scooters and three-wheelers are now cheaper to own than internal combustion engine equivalents in India," according to the study. The demand, mainly from first-time buyers, is driving the emerging opportunity. Mahindra believes over 70% of electric vehicle (EV) three-wheeler customers are first-time purchasers from low-income households.&nbsp; Case studies by Mahindra Last Mile Mobility Limited and Battery Smart show that EV production and infrastructure are expanding throughout the area. The potential is being driven by a rise in demand, mostly from first-time buyers. Mahindra believes that over 70% of electric vehicle (EV) three-wheeler customers are first-time purchasers from low-income households. Case studies by Mahindra Last Mile Mobility Limited and Battery Smart show that EV production and infrastructure are expanding throughout the area. However, the study does highlight an urgent requirement for investment in infrastructures like battery-swapping facilities and charging networks that can help thrust this transformation forward. Mobility emissions are 10 per cent of Asia's total greenhouse gas emissions, but 25 per cent of Europe's and 30 per cent of the United States, making fast electrification a necessity as incomes in developing Asia grow, the report said. An increasingly efficient network of battery switching stations, backed up by compatible battery systems from various car manufacturers, has significantly enhanced EV recharging infrastructure.

The first Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Station of the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) has been operationalized at the Sahibabad RRTS station in Ghaziabad, according to a statement released on Sunday. According to the statement, the recently opened EV charging station is located at gate number 1 of the Sahibabad Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) station and features a wide range of charging units suitable for different types of electric vehicles. The statement said that this move is one of several being taken to ensure last-mile connection and that customers would be able to use the rapid charging station to power their four-wheelers in only one hour. The statement also said they could charge their two-wheelers in one and a half hours and their four-wheelers in three hours using the station's sluggish charging capability.Additionally, the same mobile application will allow users to conveniently pay for the power they use on a unit-by-unit basis, with the extra flexibility of online payment alternatives, the statement said. Other running RRTS stations, such as Ghaziabad, Guldhar, Duhai, Duhai Depot, Murad Nagar, Modi Nagar South, and Modi Nagar North, would soon have access to EV charging stations, the announcement read. Since the beginning of the first regional rail project execution in India, NCRTC has worked to reduce its environmental impact. In March 2021, NCRTC also approved a solar policy as part of its dedication to the national solar mission and the advancement of clean and sustainable energy sources. It also said that NCRTC's objective for the next five years is to enhance the proportion of renewable energy by producing about 11 MW of peak internal solar power on the rooftops of stations, depots, and other structures for non-traction uses.

In the most recent round of China's electric vehicle pricing war, BYD Co. gained an advantage over rivals; nevertheless, it now has to demonstrate that it can sustain the impact on profits. The largest EV manufacturer in China deviated from its custom of not releasing guidance prior to its results announcement, which is scheduled for later this Monday. This month's spike in the stock's volatility skew to its highest level since October 2022 suggests that investors are becoming more and more interested in downside protection. The largest EV market in the world, China, is under increased pressure due to slowing growth, a wave of new rivals, and offers introduced by Tesla Inc. last year. Investors will be closely monitoring BYD's results remarks to see whether the company intends to take any bold actions following this year's effort to lower mass-market model prices before competitors. BYD "has taken the first shot, taking market share from cars with internal combustion engines," according to EFG Asset Management HK Ltd. fund manager Daisy Li. "EV penetration is increasing along with sales, but profits are declining as a result." With the aid of the price cuts, BYD sold over 300,000 cars in March, recovering from a notable decline in the previous month. This has aided the stock, which has decreased less than 1% in Hong Kong this year despite a worldwide index of EV manufacturers seeing a fall of more than 15%. If the results fall short of expectations, the resilience might make the shares susceptible to selling pressure. For the traditionally sluggish first quarter, BYD is predicted to report revenue growth of 10%, which would be the company's lowest in the previous four years. The predicted gross profit margin would drop from 21.2% in the fourth quarter to 19.6%. Though its profitability has probably suffered due to the lower model prices, traders will be keeping an eye on BYD's rise in higher-end models and international sales as possible bright spots. Bing Yuan, a fund manager at Edmond de Rothschild Asset Management, stated, "We think BYD's strategy is to take advantage of domestic mass products to sustain production utilisation and operating advantage and balance profit margins with premium products and exports." BYD has been adding high-end models to its portfolio. One such model is the Denza Z9GT, which debuted at the Auto China show and features a shooting-brake-inspired design with a strong tech focus. It debuted its Yangwang U9 supercar, which costs more than $200,000, in February to compete with models from Lamborghini and Ferrari NV. The business hopes to sell 500,000 cars outside of China this year, and by 2025, that number will have doubled. In Hungary, it also intends to construct its first auto manufacturing in Europe. Robert Mumford, a portfolio manager at GAM Hong Kong Ltd., stated, "Exports coming from a low base are expected to show strong growth — this will remain a key supporting factor for BYD's revenue growth and likely margin."&nbsp;

"We thought that EVs need a new brand concept and identity. In the upcoming quarters, we will begin pursuing exclusive EV dealerships, according to Shailesh Chandra, managing director of the company's passenger car and electric mobility division.&nbsp; According to Chandra's remarks made at a roundtable meeting with media in New Delhi, Tata initially intends to set up a small number of retail locations devoted to electric vehicles sporting the August-introduced Tata.ev brand.&nbsp; However, particular target markets were not made public. The corporation is also in the midst of finalising its foreign strategy, which may entail exporting <a href="https://evindia.online/car" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent;">electric cars</a>. By the year 2027, Tata plans to invest almost $2 billion in the creation of battery-powered vehicles. The business recorded sales of 4,613 electric passenger vehicles, including the <a href="https://evindia.online/product/tata-motors-tigor-ev-xe" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent;">Tigor</a>, <a href="https://evindia.online/product/tata-motors-nexon-ev-xe" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent;">Nexon</a>, and <a href="https://evindia.online/product/tata-motors-tiago-xe-(19.2-kwh)" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent;">Tiago EV</a> models, in India last month, representing a 65% increase over the same period last year, according to information from the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations of India. With the development of a battery facility in the western state of Gujarat, which is anticipated to have a manufacturing capacity of 20 gigawatt hours, the carmaker is strengthening its local electric vehicle supply chain. <a href="https://evindia.online/company/ola-electric" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent;">Ola Electric Mobility Pvt</a> and Reliance Industries Ltd. are two other businesses with intentions to produce lithium-ion cells in India. According to Chandra, Tata will continue to adapt to changing rules. Chandra also said that the adoption of the Bharat Stage 7 emissions guideline is anticipated to result in significant declines in sales of diesel vehicles. In the most recent fiscal year, 16% of Tata's lineup of passenger cars were diesel models.

The ecosystem for <a href="http://www.evindia.online" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent;">electric vehicle</a> startups has maintained investor interest, and this year it has secured close to half a billion dollars. According to information obtained from TheKredible, 36 companies in the EV sector have received approximately $480 million already in 2023. In contrast, 61 agreements involving EV startups generated $796 million in 2022. In addition to manufacturers, battery and charging firms are also prospering. One such company is Neuron Energy, which asserts to have installed more than 20,000 batteries in <a href="https://evindia.online/scooter" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent;">two-</a> and <a href="https://evindia.online/vehicles?type=4" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent;">three-wheeler</a> electric vehicles (EVs). Neuron offers lithium-ion and lead-acid smart batteries for its Bikes, rickshaws, and golf carts. It was founded by Pratik Kamdar and Raj Shah. In a pre-Series A transaction, the firm recently raised Rs 20 crore, which is said to be the outcome of its four-fold expansion in FY23. Pratik Kamdar, co-founder and CEO of Neuron Energy, stated, "Our scale grew nearly 4X to Rs 30 crore in FY23 and we remained profitable with Rs 30 lakh (PAT)". "Only 20% of our lithium-ion batteries are used in three-wheelers, with the majority being used in two-wheelers." The company not only collaborates with OEMs directly but also provides batteries to small and medium manufacturers that don't produce their own batteries. It states that it is compatible with 12 OEMs, including 2.O, Komaki, YC Electric, E-Vishwa, and EVTrick. In neighbouring nations including Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, the Maldives, Thailand, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Bangladesh, Neuron Energy also provides golf cart batteries. In the upcoming months, the business also intends to grow into the markets of Europe, the US, and Africa. Batteries in EVs are a key source of safety and breakdown problems, but Neuron Energy claims to have found solutions to both. “We resolve over 90% of problems through a combination of mobile apps and remote assistance," and our batteries are Bluetooth-enabled,” claimed Kamdar. Experts and people frequently blame batteries for EV fires, although Kamdar emphasises that their batteries are safe. "We test for three to six months, observing the performance of the cells in a range of environments, such as temperature ranges and degrading life cycles. Out of the 20,000 packs we have placed in the market, we have not had any fire accidents, he claimed. Neuron Energy intends to raise a sizable round by the conclusion of the current fiscal year, encouraged by its four-fold expansion in FY23.&nbsp; According to Kamdar, "On the lines of FY23, we will grow our collection to Rs 120 crore in FY24. We established a target to deploy 50,000 batteries, and as of right now, anything from 3,000 to 5,000 units are installed each month.”

On August 3, Mahindra &amp; Mahindra told the stock markets that Temasek Holdings Pvt Limited, Singapore's sovereign wealth fund, will invest up to Rs 1,200 crore in its electric vehicle business, with a potential value of up to Rs 80,580 crore. According to the regulatory filing, Temasek would hold a fully diluted share in MEAL (Mahindra Electric Automobile Limited), M&amp;M's <a href="https://evindia.online/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent;">EV</a> company, after the transaction, ranging from 1.49 to 2.97 per cent. A worldwide investment firm, Temasek Holdings has a net portfolio value of $287 billion as of March 31, 2023. The manufacturer claimed that the investment will increase the worth of Mahindra's EV business by 15%, from up to Rs 70,070 crore to up to Rs 80,580 crore.&nbsp;"These renowned investors' extensive worldwide expertise will be helpful to MEAL. The Mahindra Group's objective to reduce dilution is commensurate with the amount spent, it added. Anish Shah, MD and CEO of Mahindra &amp; Mahindra Ltd. commented on the agreement, saying, "We are incredibly thrilled to have Temasek as a partner in our electric SUV adventure. The valuation of up to $9.8 billion is evidence of Mahindra's success in the electric vehicle market and of our efforts to expand our line of electric SUVs. "By having Temasek as a shareholder, we enhanced our global cooperation and aim to reach 20% to 30% of Mahindra SUV sales from electric vehicles by 2030," noted Rajesh Jejurikar, Executive Director and CEO of Auto &amp; Farm Sectors, Mahindra &amp; Mahindra. On Thursday, shares of Mahindra &amp; Mahindra traded 1.08 per cent down at Rs 1,469.75 a share on the BSE at 1:15 pm. The global investment giant recently said in an exclusive interview with Moneycontrol that it plans to invest up to $10 billion in India over the next three years as it hedges against stable government policy, enticing demographics, and elite entrepreneurs. This comes after the $2 billion purchase of the controlling stake in Dr Ranjan Pai's Manipal Hospitals, which was just closed, was the largest private investment deal in the Indian healthcare sector.

The manufacturer claimed that the investment will increase the worth of Mahindra's EV business by 15%, from up to Rs 70,070 crore to up to Rs 80,580 crore.
