JSW MG Motor on Saturday unveiled the price of its freshly released CUV Windsor with battery. Windsor will be priced beginning at Rs 13,49,800 (ex-showroom). The Windsor will be available in four different colours: starburst black, pearl white, clay beige, and turquoise green. The booking period for Windsor will begin on October 3. The increased costs apply only to outright purchases, not the BaaS (Battery as a Service) program. The WindsorEV will be available in three variants including Excite, Exclusive, and Essence, each priced at Rs. 13.50 lakh, Rs. 14.50 lakh, and Rs. 15.50 lakh. Satinder Singh Bajwa, Chief Commercial Officer of JSW MG Motor India, stated, "The MG Windsor will enable customers to upgrade to an EV lifestyle through its attractive packaging and pricing. We are optimistic that this will encourage more prospective consumers to purchase electric vehicles, so accelerating the transition to a cleaner future." The Windsor uses an AeroGlide design language that is futuristic and goes beyond the notion of typical division. The interiors are elegant and comfortable, featuring huge Aero Lounge seats that can recline to 1350, as well as the vast Infinity View Glass Roof, which enhances the business class experience. The primary console houses a huge 15.6" GRANDVIEW Touch Display, which powers immersive entertainment and smart connection. The Windsor comes equipped with a strong PMS Motor that is IP67-approved. A 38 kWh Li-ion battery pack and four driving modes (Eco+, Eco, Normal, and Sport) give 100KW (136ps) power and 200Nm of immediate torque, resulting in a range of 331 km. It can be charged in 40 minutes using any DC fast charger. The first owner of the MG Windsor will receive a one-of-a-kind lifetime battery guarantee. The eHUB by MG app provides one year of free public charging, making it easier than ever for Windsor owners to charge their vehicles at any time and from any location. JSW MG Motor India is developing an innovative ownership plan called Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS), which allows you to drive an electric CUV of full size for the price of a compact SUV supported by a manual engine. This flexible ownership arrangement lowers the initial cost of the battery so that the buyer only has to pay for its use. In other words, buyers need to pay a minimum price per kilometre travelled, equivalent to 40 per cent of the traditional car fuel expenses. This comes down the initial cost of purchase and also the kilometre cost to a very low level, making ownership experience cheaper and hassle-free.

Volkswagen on Tuesday declared to reshuffle its strategy of electric vehicles (EV) pushing the timeline to introduce its key models under the Trinity project even further. The new ID.4 model, which was initially intended to be a part of the next-generation Trinity EV portfolio, is now scheduled for introduction in the early 2030s, which represents a significant delay from previous plans, citing a source close to the firm, Reuters reported. The Trinity project, started by former CEO Herbert Diess, was designed to use the new SSP (Scalable Systems Platform) to standardise Volkswagen's electric vehicle platforms. Although the initial plan for the project was to introduce its first vehicle in 2026 due to software problems at the company's software subsidiary, Cariad, the project was placed on hold by Diess's successor, Oliver Blume. In the meantime of the delay, Volkswagen has improved its current MEB (Modular Electric Drive Matrix) platform which will act as the basis for the upcoming ID.4 model, scheduled to be released in 2026. In addition to resolving the technological challenges encountered by the more sophisticated Trinity project, this strategic shift enables the firm to continue operating in the quickly changing EV industry. The company's board was advised through an internal document to postpone the release of the Trinity-based ID.4 and another electric SUV until the early 2030s. According to a report by Reuters, the management of the company has defended the delay by claiming that the SSP platform did not require another larger vehicle immediately. However, plans to introduce an electric Golf small vehicle on the SSP platform later this decade are still on schedule. Volkswagen decided to delay these new models due to declining demand for electric vehicles and cost reductions, according to Handelsblatt, a German business newspaper, even though Reuters was unable to independently confirm the contents of the classified document. When questioned about internal preparations after the upgrade, a Volkswagen spokeswoman declined to comment.&nbsp; In addition, Blume has recently reorganized several of Diess’s programs, including the Trinity project. This is all part of a larger effort to streamline Volkswagen’s extensive manufacturing network as it navigates its shift toward electric vehicles. At its recent results conference, Volkswagen reiterated that significant cost reductions and a contraction in production capacity were necessary if it wanted to improve profit margins. The latest postponement of Trinity’s launch is an indication of the challenges and complexities faced by manufacturers in this rapidly evolving EV landscape. For traditional automakers such as Volkswagen competing with EV makers while also complying with ever stricter environmental regulations requires balancing innovation on one hand with market expectations plus budget constraints on the other hand.

The US automaker Tesla Inc. is reportedly close to reaching an agreement with India that would allow it to import its <a href="https://evindia.online/electric-cars" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">electric cars</a> beginning next year and build a facility there in less than two years, according to people with knowledge of the Indian government's intentions. A participant, who wished to remain anonymous due to the confidential nature of the discussions, proposed that a declaration may be made during the Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit in January. According to a different source, these regions are being investigated as they have established ecosystems for the export and sale of <a href="https://evindia.online/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">electric vehicles</a>, including Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, and Gujarat, the home state of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. According to one source, Tesla plans to invest a minimum of $2 billion in its plants initially and aims to boost its procurement of auto components from the country to as much as $15 billion. The source claims that the US firm would also like to save expenses by manufacturing certain batteries in India.&nbsp; The individuals said that plans are subject to change and that no choices have been made in stone. Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, said in June that the business will be making a "significant investment" in India and that he planned to visit the country in 2024. Representatives from the nation's ministries of finance, trade, and industry as well as the Ministry of Heavy Industries, which oversees the auto sector, did not respond to requests for comments. Furthermore, Tesla did not respond to a request for comments. It would be beneficial for Tesla, which presently has plants in the US, China, and Germany, to expand into the most populated country in the world. There, aspiring middle-class consumers are driving an increasing number of electric vehicles. The Modi administration has been working to promote the quicker uptake of greener mobility and boost domestic EV production. Despite these initiatives, India's EV sector hasn't taken off; according to BloombergNEF, only 1.3% of all passenger vehicles sold last year were battery-powered automobiles. Due to the high initial cost of electric automobiles and the scarcity of charging facilities, buyers are unwilling to switch. Tesla avoids importing vehicles into India directly due to the substantial levies imposed. Some of the participants stated that when the first locally produced automobiles are put up for sale, their retail prices may be as low as $20,000. Trade Minister Piyush Goyal stated in September that Tesla plans to almost double its imports of car components from India to $1.9 billion this year during a visit to the company's Fremont, California, factory earlier this month. Speaking at an event in New Delhi, he revealed that the electric car maker imported $1 billion worth of parts from the nation the year before. Tesla and India, the world's third-largest auto market, reopened negotiations in May following a year-long impasse. After Musk criticised India for its high import taxes and electric vehicle (EV) regulations, the nation told Tesla not to sell cars made in its political rival, China. Recent sources state that if global electric car manufacturers agree to create local manufacturing facilities, India may lower import charges for them for a period of five years.

Quence, a manufacturer of <a href="https://evindia.online/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">EV</a> chargers in Pune has introduced a mobile 30KW DC fast charger called Quench Mini. The Quench Mini is made for all-time weather conditions, MENA (Middle East, North Africa) and SE (Southeast Asia) regions are some places where it has already been used in numerous instances under extremely difficult conditions. The charger features built-in wheels and an ergonomic layout to make it very easy to move; the 63 Amp power line that powers the charger is available in 5m, 10m, and 15m length options, according to Onkar Garudkar, Head of Marketing for Quench. DC chargers with comparable power outputs are often fixed chargers that must be installed using civil and cable work, which significantly raises the cost of installing the charger. The Mini offers flexibility and does not necessitate fixed wiring or civil construction. Instead of reserving a single set space for charging, it enables the customer to move the charger between several vehicles. The brand-new Quench Mini is made to be dependable and ridiculously simple to install. It establishes a new benchmark for EV charging technology and is a ground-breaking innovation with unmatched features like AutoCharge, POS integration, RFID compatibility, and much more," he continued. The company's managing director, Sunil Bhambhani, said, "With this our most recent product addition, with a full suite of charging solutions for electric vehicles, buses, and trucks, Quench Chargers is on course to become a global provider of EV charging technology.” Quench is a member of the 115-year-old Ador Group, which includes the joint venture "Ador Digatron" between the German company Digatron and the Indian company Ador. "Launched in 2020, Quench chargers have already been installed in India and abroad," the press announcement continued. German technology powers Quench, and the products were created by a team of experts in power electronics who have been producing and testing batteries for more than 50 years. They have also been put to the test in harsh environments like Scandinavia's extreme cold and Saudi Arabia's arid deserts. Over 75 countries have benefited from the company's battery testing, charging, and lab equipment.

The future flying automobile from electric aircraft manufacturer Eve will be included into Blade Air Mobility's European route network, beginning with France, the firms said on Monday. The arrangement follows previous agreements between the companies to utilise Eve's electric vertical take-off and landing vehicles (eVTOLs) in India and the US. The companies are now taking part in the Paris Airshow. Embraer, a Brazilian aircraft manufacturer, owns Eve and plans to launch its vehicle into commercial use in 2026. Blade would concentrate on creating useful applications for air mobility, including discovering potential routes in France and other European nations, according to a statement from Eve and Blade. If Blade would need to purchase brand-new eVTOL planes as part of the arrangement, they didn't say. As part of its activities in Europe, Blade now flies traditional helicopters between Nice and Monaco. Following the signing of a letter of intent for commercial operations in the United States, where Eve expects to provide up to 60 vehicles yearly, Eve and Blade last year planned to deploy up to 200 electric aeroplanes in India. Rob Wiesenthal, the chief executive officer of Blade, said, "Blade's commitment to leading the switch from conventional to electric vertical aircraft is underscored by the extension of our partnership with Eve." Before beginning production, Eve had a backlog of approximately 2,800 orders, and investors like United Airlines and Rolls-Royce have supported its development. The company just revealed the initial equipment manufacturers for its eVTOLs, and it plans to start constructing its first full-scale prototype in the second half. For 2024, more testing is anticipated. According to Eve CEO Andre Stein, the firms' expanded cooperation with Blade would enable them to pool their knowledge and resources to provide more accessible travel and promote environmental advancements. Last year, Blade purchased the scheduled and charter flying operations of the European companies Monacair, Heli Securite, and Azur Helicoptere, claiming that this would be "crucial" for ongoing technical and business conversations with Eve.

&nbsp;According to a recent Ficci-Deloitte analysis, increasing attention to the electric vehicle industry will assist Tamil Nadu in reaching its goal of having a $1 trillion economy by 2030–2031. According to the report "Towards One Trillion: Accelerating Tamil Nadu's Progress to Become a Trillion-Dollar Economy," the region's well-established automotive cluster in the Chennai-Kancheepuram-Chengalpattu-Tiruvallur corridor needs to be the focus of attention right now, in addition to making use of the region's already-existing auto-manufacturing infrastructure and industry presence. With the introduction of the Tamil Nadu <a href="https://evindia.online/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">EV </a>policy 2023, the state has already made a solid first impression by selecting important EV cities in the state, including Chennai, Coimbatore, Trichy, Madurai, Salem, and Tirunelveli. Because this industry is still developing in the state, the government will need to get involved in social development, infrastructural development, and startup support. The research stated that Tamil Nadu might allow the establishment of significant technology nerve centres along the corridor, joining the designated cities in the strategy, in addition to the previously proposed EV park in Hosur and Manalur. Co-working spaces for start-ups might be situated next to OEM/tier-1 R&amp;D centres thanks to the ecosystem of R&amp;D nerve centres. Additionally, OEMs can buy technologies from interested start-ups and delegate new research activities to them. To encourage localization, it was suggested that OEMs and start-ups collaborate on adopting EV production technology for Indian MSMEs. In addition to supply-side interventions, citizen-centred policy reforms may be implemented to support the growth of the state's demand for electric vehicles. By 2030, the present EV program is to convert 60,000 buses, or 30% of bus fleets in public transportation and educational institutions, to electric power. Along with public transportation, the state may also take into account offering usage-based payment plans, government-backed financing assistance for auto drivers to purchase and operate electric vehicles, providing public charging infrastructure and battery swap stations to encourage private owners, and subsidizing the price of electric vehicles through reductions in the state goods and services tax. According to the paper, EV conversion can also be accomplished through EV retrofitting. The electrification of current vehicles can be aided by retrofit kits, and the standardizing of batteries through such gears can advance the infrastructure for battery swaps. These modifications will boost demand and raise public acceptance of EV adoption.
