India's first second-life battery-powered solar EV charging station established 1.5 km from Kempegowda International Airport, would be operational by the end of October, citing a Bescom source, Deccan Herald(DH) reported.&nbsp; The private-public cooperation between Bescom and GIZ, a German corporation, is expected to serve approximately 1,000 EVs each day, including 175 EV taxis introduced by Kempegowda International Airport. Second-life batteries are ones that have already finished their five-year life cycle. However, these batteries may still be charged and used for another five years.&nbsp; According to the report, the idea intends to eliminate the disposal of used batteries while also saving expenses.&nbsp; The facility spans 70 meters and contains 23 compartments. Each compartment is 7 meters long and 2.5 meters wide, and the station can charge up to 23 automobiles at one time.&nbsp; DH further reported that the station would be open 24 hours a day and would offer both AC and DC charging at the outlet, with each costing Rs 7.5 and 6.7 per unit, respectively. Beneficiaries can access charging stations using the EV Mitra application.&nbsp; The EV charging station, which cost an estimated Rs 4 crore, has a power capacity of 400 kV. Reportedly, the solar panels are expected to generate only 45 kV out of the required 400 kV. The remaining electricity would be provided by the Karnataka Electricity Transmission Corporation Limited (KPTCL) grid near the charging station. In a new effort to guarantee that no power generated by a solar setup is wasted, the charging station is equipped with a metering device that monitors the generated electricity. The connecting facility between KPTCL and the charging station will be used to send excess solar power to the grid.&nbsp; While Karnataka already has the most EV charging stations (nearly 5,700), it is about to become the first state to install a second-life battery-powered solar EV charger.&nbsp;

Second-life batteries are ones that have already finished their five-year life cycle. However, these batteries may still be charged and used for another five years.

Industry participants on Tuesday urged the government that the Union Budget FY25 should include incentives like FAME 3.0 together with GST reductions for electric vehicles. Some others stated that the EV industry's resale sector needs to be supported. On July 23, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is scheduled to deliver the first annual budget under Modi 3.0. “The interim budget, which notably stressed the need for greater charging station construction, demonstrated the government's commitment to expanding the electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem in India. While EMPS and FAME II are commended, expectations are high for a new subsidy scheme that is akin to FAME II, with stricter eligibility conditions for vehicle types and localization requirements. Larger vehicle categories including trucks are anticipated to be included in the subsidy scope, in addition to passenger cars, two-wheelers, and three-wheelers,” citing Maxson Lewis, Founder &amp; CEO of Magenta Mobility Economic Times reported. He further said, “It is anticipated that there would be a strong focus on indigenous battery and electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing capabilities as well as research and development (R&amp;D), with additional funding for the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) programme. It is also planned to review EV's priority financing sector status and further up efforts.” On the other hand, Akihiro Ueda, CEO of Terra Charge stated “As an electric two-wheeler manufacturer, I am looking forward to the upcoming Budget 2024 and am hoping for positive announcements as well as clarity in the implementation of policies." He further said, “First and foremost, I'm excited about targeted incentives like FAME 3.0 that may lower the cost of electric two-wheelers for regular commuters, allowing us to expand our market share. Lowering the GST on electric vehicles and providing larger purchase incentives may also have a substantial impact on how quickly consumers embrace EVs. As a participant in the market, we expect more backing for regional battery innovation and manufacturing. Similar to this, increased backing for the "Made in India" campaign and locally sourced production of our electric two-wheelers could assist Indian EV producers such as ourselves in creating more effective and environmentally friendly mobility solutions that can rival global brands and be available to a wider consumer base. These steps, in my opinion, could help us improve the entire ecosystem.”

Industry anticipate that the Budget FY25 will include incentives and perhaps GST discounts for EVs. Policies such as FAME 3.0 are expected to boost local production, encourage R&D, and improve the EV ecosystem to provide sustainable mobility.

The JSW Group said on Saturday that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to spend ₹40,000 crore to establish an integrated electric vehicle (EV) and EV battery manufacturing plant in Cuttack and Paradip. As other states made comparable bids, the group publicly announced its strategic entry into the state through this memorandum of understanding. Another important part of the company's goal to produce electric automobiles is this announcement. The business and SAIC Motor Corp. Ltd., the firm that owns MG Motor India, had established a joint venture to establish an EV-focused JV in which the company would possess a 35% stake. To produce EVs in Odisha, which lacks the same infrastructure for car production as places like Gujarat and Tamil Nadu, the business will also need to create an ecosystem. “Our goal is to establish a mutually beneficial partnership with all parties involved by integrating our activities into the dynamic ecosystem of Odisha. This will promote growth and innovation while also creating a multitude of chances for highly skilled employment. It's evidence of our commitment to enhancing Odisha's economic environment and our faith in the state's potential,” stated Sajjan Jindal, chairman of JSW Group. A 50 GWH EV battery facility for mobility and energy storage systems, commercial e-vehicles and passenger electric automobiles, auto components including e-powertrain, a lithium refinery, a copper smelter, and associated component manufacturing units make up this state-of-the-art advanced technology project. Within the same integrated complex, the business plans to establish an original equipment manufacturer facility for electric cars and their components. The business claims that this will be the largest single-location initiative in the category globally. According to the corporation, the initiative will result in the creation of 11,000 employees, including 7,000 in Paradip and 4,000 in Cuttack. Additionally, the initiative will promote the creation of jobs in support and ancillary services. It will spur MSME growth and provide a wealth of possibilities in the automotive services and supply chain industries," the business continued. The agreement, according to the business, highlights both the state's favourable investment climate and the government's deliberate efforts to establish Odisha as a leader in India's electric vehicle and green technology industries. Through a unique set of incentives, the Odisha state government would assist the effort. "Our goal is to provide the people of Odisha with high-skill employment prospects, so we are closely monitoring the chances provided by the new-age sectors," Chief Minister of Odisha Naveen Patnaik said, "By working together with the JSW Group, we are laying the groundwork for a future in which innovation powers our industrial growth and guarantees that the youth of Odisha have access to the skills and jobs that will define the next generation of economic development."

<a href="https://evindia.online/electric-vehicle-companies/ola-electric-ev" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent;">Ola Electric</a>'s CEO, Bhavish Aggarwal, announced on X on Wednesday that the company is off to a great start to the holiday season. The company's revenues increased by about 30% in October over September, according to the CEO. He claimed that all staff at the Futurefactory are now working more than 70 hours a week to meet the increase in demand brought on by the holiday season, and he ascribed the achievement to their unwavering efforts.&nbsp; The allusion to "70 hours a week" is about recent remarks made by NR Narayana Murthy regarding the work culture in India, which have caused a sensation on social media. He exclaimed on X, ''Very strong start to the festive season by the @OlaElectric team! Our sales grew almost 30% Oct over Sep! The Futurefactory is running at full speed and everyone working more than 70 hours to fulfil all the demands! 2023 is set to be a defining year for <a href="http://www.evindia.online" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent;">EVs</a> in India,''. Mr Aggarwal tweeted last week about the notable spike in sales of electric scooters during the holiday season. ''Every 10 seconds,'' he claimed, his firm had sold a scooter. In the Indian market, Ola Electric offers a wide range of five electric scooters. The <a href="https://evindia.online/product/ola-electric-s1-air-ev" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent;">S1 Air</a>, <a href="https://evindia.online/product/ola-electric-s1-pro-2nd-generation-ev" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent;">S1 Pro Gen2</a>, and <a href="https://evindia.online/product/ola-electric-s1-x-3kwh-ev" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent;">S1X</a> are the three new models that the firm released in August. Each model comes in three distinct versions. With price ranges ranging from ₹90,000 to ₹1.47 lakh (ex-showroom), this wide variety of vehicles caters to a wide spectrum of consumers. Notably, Mr. Aggarwal had previously supported Mr. Murthy's counsel, which is currently the subject of a lengthy discussion on X. I wholeheartedly concur with Mr. Murthy's opinions. We shouldn't be taking this opportunity to relax and work less. Instead, he stated, "This is our chance to fully commit and construct in a single generation what other nations have built over many generations."&nbsp; He tweeted another image of himself outside the plant with the caption, "Putting in the hours." Not just 70, but nearly 140! Just have fun—no weekends!

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.

A wholly-owned subsidiary will be established by sustainable energy solutions supplier Servotech Power Systems in response to the increasing demand for batteries for <a href="https://evindia.online/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">electric vehicles</a> (EVs). It will primarily be involved in the production and trade of batteries. The subsidiary is known by the name Techbec Green Energy Private Limited. Notably, the battery is one of the most crucial components of EVs. As demand for EVs has increased due to an increase in EV adoption, supported by the government's drive, several major companies in the market have been experiencing supply issues. Servotech Power Systems, a top manufacturer of EV chargers, will own 99.99% of the newly formed subsidiary. When preparing to charge a vehicle, considering several elements such as charging time and rate, charging standard, and the capacity of chargers is necessary. It's vital to keep in mind that not all vehicle types depend on charging infrastructure in the same ways when it comes to EV charging. As a result, batteries play a critical part in driving the vehicle. It is important to note that EV range, their usage for long-distance travel, and the lengthy charging time are issues that affect vehicle drivers all around the world. The problem can be overcome by creating a dependable and widely used charging infrastructure. Even though EV adoption in India is still in its infancy, the country has a lot of opportunity for the development of charging infrastructure, which calls for a specific emphasis from the industry's key players and the government in order to be deployed on a broad scale. In the June quarter, Servotech Power Systems said last week that its consolidated net profit had increased to Rs 4.10 crore, helped by increasing revenues. The business said in an NSE filing that it earned a net profit of Rs 35 lakh during the same time period the previous year. In comparison to the same quarter last year, the company's overall income more than quadrupled to Rs 79.81 crore from Rs 32.06 crore. Servotech Power Systems is well known for being a leading producer of solar, EV chargers, power backup, and other intelligent power solutions.
