Ather Energy Chief Business Officer Ravneet Phokela said, "Our rapidly expanding charging network is a testament to our commitment towards providing a seamless charging experience not just for the Ather community but for the EV ecosystem at large." In order to encourage sustainable transportation, Ather Energy has partnered with a number of companies, including BESCOM, Sangeetha Mobiles, Decathlon, Metro Cash &amp; Carry, Third Wave Coffee Roasters, HPCL, Chai Point, and Prestige Group, whose landmark UB City is one among them.

Japan pledges to roll out $2.4 billion worth of subsidies for electric-vehicle battery manufacturing to support projects by Toyota Motors and many more companies who are seeking to make their battery supply chain stronger.&nbsp; According to Minister of Economy, Trade, and Industry Ken Saito, the government would provide up to 350 billion yen ($2.44 billion) in support for 12 projects involving storage batteries, their parts, materials, or production equipment. "We hope that these efforts will strengthen Japan's storage battery supply chain and the storage battery industry's competitiveness," Mr. Saito said. The update is likely to increase the country's yearly storage battery manufacturing capacity by around 50% to 120 gigawatt-hours (GWh), up from the present 80 GWh, according to Japanese media reports. The government's aid includes Toyota and Nissan Motor's investments, as well as collaborative initiatives between Panasonic Holdings' energy business and automakers Subaru and Mazda Motor, Saito further underlined. The update comes after the government offered about $1 billion in subsidies for storage battery manufacture in June of last year, with the first batch set to begin in April 2023. Toyota will invest around 245 billion yen alongside its battery subsidiaries, Prime Planet Energy &amp; Solutions and Primearth EV Energy, to increase solid-state and prismatic battery production capacity by 9 GWh, according to the industry ministry. According to reports, Toyota will begin shipment of the batteries in November 2026. According to the Yomiuri newspaper, the idea is to develop battery facilities in the prefectures of Hyogo and Fukuoka. Nissan announced in a statement that the government has approved their proposal to build lithium-iron-phosphate batteries. The automaker planned to install such batteries in mini-vehicles beginning in the fiscal year 2028, with a domestic manufacturing capacity of 5 GWh per year and up to 55.5 billion yen in assistance, according to the statement. Moreover, Panasonic's energy unit, which manufactures batteries for Tesla, and Subaru said in a joint statement that they will establish a factory in Gunma prefecture, north of Tokyo, to provide cylindrical lithium-ion batteries beginning in the fiscal year 2028.

The update is likely to increase the country's yearly storage battery manufacturing capacity by around 50% to 120 gigawatt-hours (GWh), up from the present 80 GWh.

Finally, after months of rumours, leaked photos, and presentations, the Tata Curvv is going to happen. The first official teaser for the forthcoming Curvv coupe SUV has been unveiled by the company.

There are several <a href="https://evindia.online/bike" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">electric two-wheeler</a> manufacturers in the Indian vehicle sector, and the majority of these new businesses are riding the <a href="www.evindia.online" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">electric vehicle</a> wave across the nation. The mXmoto, the newest player in the market, will start off by releasing the MX9 electric motorbike in July. Marcello Silva, a renowned designer and artist, created the bike in Europe.&nbsp;The manufacturing facility owned by the firm is located in Gurugram and has an annual production capacity of 3,000 to 4,000 electric automobiles. The business intends to gradually roll out more affordable electric scooters around the nation. Rajendra Malhotra, the managing director of mXmoto, stated that “The company's objective is to provide high-performance electric automobiles to the general public at a reasonable price.” The LifePO4 battery technology that will be included with the MX9 electric bike is said to provide a high level of safety. Additionally, it will lengthen ride times and battery range, making it a useful vehicle for both short trips and everyday commuting.&nbsp;

In the struggle to shift the automobile industry towards clean energy, the Uttar Pradesh government last Friday announced no tax policy on the acquisition of <a href="https://evindia.online/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">electric vehicles</a> (EVs). The UP government made this choice while amending the earlier notification. For a maximum of three years, tax and registration costs won't be due. Additionally, this discount will be available for five years on the buying of electric vehicles made right here in the state itself. The government has also instructed all district RTOs to immediately guarantee that the directives are followed. According to the Principal Secretary L Venkateshwar Lu's revised notification, the Uttar Pradesh electric vehicle manufacturing and mobility policy 2022 provides a 100 percent tax exemption on electric cars (EVs) sold and registered in UP from October 14, 2022, to October 13, 2025. In addition, from October 14, 2025, to October 13, 2027, the fourth and fifth years of the policy's application period, a 100% discount will be provided on all sold and registered EVs produced in the state as of the same date. It is also made clear what an EV is intended to accomplish. As a result, all vehicles with electric motors fueled by batteries, ultracapacitors, or fuel cells are referred to as EVs. Strong hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), battery electric vehicles (BEVs), and fuel cell electric vehicles are all examples of these 2-wheelers, 3-wheelers, and 4-wheelers (FCEVs).&nbsp; For the state's millions of current electric car owners as well as potential buyers, this will be a huge relief. Those who bought electric cars after October 14, 2022, and paid tax and registration fees will automatically have their money returned to their accounts. The owner of an electric car needn't exert any effort for this. The owners of electric vehicles in the state are expected to profit from this government action as well. The state government's support will enable them to make significant financial savings. In addition to the federal government, it is probable that the cost of on-road two-wheelers will differ by 15–20,000 rupees and the cost of cars by up to one lakh rupees. This distinction between registration in Delhi and UP is about to come to a stop. Now, both states' prices will be the same. Customers purchasing electric cars in the state will receive a significant subsidy, per the UP EV Policy. The policy states that a 15% subsidy will also be given on the factory price of electric cars bought in the state. For the first 2 lakh <a href="https://evindia.online/vehicles?type=5" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">electric two-wheelers</a>, a rebate of up to Rs 5,000 per vehicle, a maximum of Rs 12,000 for the first 50,000 electric three-wheelers, and up to Rs 1 lakh per vehicle for the first 25,000 electric four-wheelers will be offered. The first 400 buses bought in the state will receive a rebate of up to Rs 20 lakh per electric bus. Additionally, a maximum of 1,000 e-goods carriers will receive a subsidy of 10% off the factory price for the acquisition of e-goods pages up to Rs 1,000,000 per vehicle. Additionally, the government will promote the purchase of electric cars by government workers. The state government will also permit workers to accept the advance for this.
