The technology underlying Exponent Energy's 15-minute quick electric charging solution for <a href="http://www.evindia.online" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">electric vehicles</a> (EVs) has been made public. The business demonstrated its proprietary energy stack, which consists of the e^pack (battery pack), e^pump (electric charging stations), and e^plug (charging connector). These components work together to enable a 15-minute rapid charge and, for the first time, extend battery life (with a 3000-cycle life warranty, three times the industry standard).&nbsp; Exponent's energy stack solves the extreme heat and lithium plating, two long-standing problems that have slowed down rapid charging on LFP cells. Exponent leverages its Virtual Cell Model, Battery Management System, and Dynamic Charging Algorithms to actively recognise lithium crowding in real time and assure quick charging without major deterioration. This prevents considerable cell damage caused by lithium plating during charging. After 3000 charging cycles of 15 charging, independent testing by TUV India found just 13% deterioration. Exponent uses a cutting-edge HVAC system that is "off-boarded" from the car to the e^pump to control the significant heat created during 15-minute quick charging. Each Li-ion cell in the e^pack is cooled by this system, which circulates chilled water through the e^plug. This system prevents the temperature from rising beyond 35°C regardless of the outside temperature. This strategy guarantees that Exponent-powered EVs will continue to be lightweight and inexpensive. Exponent Energy's CEO and co-founder, Arun Vinayak, emphasised how their two-sided quick charging method extends EV battery life by three times and reduces cost by 30% compared to standard EVs. By 2025, Exponent wants to increase its operations in five additional cities, deploy 1,000 e^pumps, and power 25,000 electric vehicles. He said, “Our off-board thermal management technology is proof that Exponent believes in creating the energy of the future by fusing cutting-edge engineering with practical economics.”&nbsp; “Consumers require EVs to charge more quickly, last longer, and cost less for everyone to switch to electric vehicles. Our unique two-sided method of 15-minute quick EV charging extends EV battery life by three times and reduces cost by thirty per cent. We are eager to grow this throughout India, beginning with Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Ahmedabad,” he further added. Exponent has conducted over 25,000 quick charging sessions over the past three months, and 200+ EVs using its technology have travelled over 10,000 miles on Bengaluru's roadways. Higher energy flow is made possible by the company's 15-minute quick charging, which enables them to create a lucrative and expandable EV charging network. Exponent and Altigreen collaborated to create the ne EV Tez, the first electric vehicle to use the company's technology, last year. The startup's long-term goals include expanding its market share in the <a href="https://www.evindia.online/vehicles?type=4" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">3-wheeler</a> cargo and passenger vehicle sector and investigating other vehicle categories. Key investors such as Lightspeed India, YourNest VC, 3one4 Capital, AdvantEdge VC, the Chairman and CEO of Hero MotoCorp, Dr Pawan Munjal's family office, and the Motherson Group support Exponent, which has raised USD18 million so far.

The Auto Expo 2023 is quickly approaching, and every day, interest in the high-profile releases planned for it soars to greater levels. Given that the official debuts of the Curvv and Avinya designs have now been announced, <a href="https://ev.tatamotors.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Tata Motors</a> is also making effective plans for the 2023 Auto Expo. Currently, there are speculations that the company's top-of-the-line <a href="https://evindia.online/vehicles?type=3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">SUVs</a>, the Harrier and Safari, are going to be on show at the 2023 Auto Expo in all-electric form. <h2>What We know</h2> The all-electric variants of the Tata Harrier and Safari will take the same path Tata Motors used for the <a href="https://evindia.online/product/tata-motors-nexon-ev-xe" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Nexon EV</a>, <a href="https://evindia.online/product/tata-motors-tigor-ev-xe" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Tigor EV</a>, and <a href="https://evindia.online/blog/top-7-upcoming-ev-cars-in-india" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Tiago EV</a> based on their current iterations. This indicates that Tata Motors will keep the underpinnings and exterior designs of the present Harrier and Safari models. According to reports, the interiors will be identical to the ones with IC engines. Nevertheless, their engines will see a significant alteration. The 2.0-liter diesel engine shared by both SUVs, which FCA supplies, will be substituted with an all-electric drivetrain that consists of a rechargeable battery and an electric powertrain powering the front tires. <h2>What We Know: Range</h2> Although the electric powertrain and battery operating the EV variants of the Tata Harrier and Safari have yet to be discovered, it is anticipated that all these electric SUVs may have a stated range of 500-520 km, which translates to an actual range of 450-475 km. Hence, the market for moderate electric SUVs will be more competitive when these two <a href="https://evindia.online/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">electric</a> SUVs are released. The 2.0-liter diesel-powered SUV, which has a peak output of 170 PS and a torque of 350 Nm, is the sole engine available for the Tata Harrier and Safari. Harrier and Safari have two gearbox choices: a 6-speed conventional and a 6-speed automated. Additionally, it is anticipated that both these new SUVs will receive a makeover, which will include modest changes to the exterior and back lines as well as a handful of new features, including improved touchscreen infotainment and a complete ADAS system. The remastered Harrier and Safari models may serve as the basis for the all-electric models, which will keep the same range of features as the SUVs' diesel-powered counterparts. The EV models of the Tata Harrier and Tata Safari EVs are still unannounced by Tata. The three-row Safari would become the only vehicle built in India to have the electrified badge. Over the next two days, all attention will be on Tata Motors' booth to find out what these two EVs will deliver. In the next few days, the <a href="https://www.cardekho.com/tata/punch-ev" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Punch EV</a> also was anticipated to make an Auto Expo launch.
