News

The official website of Ampere has introduced the upcoming members of its electric scooter fleet with the tagline “Democratising style and speed for everyone”. The all-new electric scooter is expected to be named name NXG, according to information available. With the launch, the EV giant seems to enter a new higher-budget EV market making their fleets of vehicles available for everyone. The company has hinted at the update on its website and started taking reservations.&nbsp; The NXG's fascia has an LED headlamp and turn indicators located on the apron, and its design elements lean towards youth. The sleek design introduced in the NXG seems to be a nice mixture of family scooter TVS I Qube and the sporty looks of Ather 450X, the company’s traditional fit-for-all design has withheld a perfect balance between the two. The battery pack will be situated beneath the rider's seat, according to the website's teaser photos. Its floorboard appears to have a good amount of area. <img src="https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/3sX1r51DQQs4G-QlxZe3JyepiDH0LEuiXNwtn1U9rHW_PhB_KXmm_NT4cMzh7woKUhgfPU4ovqxBo2BbfcAB9SPvxy5C-ZMBFz-t_6htF407elYbegxnNQnSHdBGoy8rkHUeRdmwLT8bZ2V0S0q09wQ" height="292" width="602"> Moreover, the EV is expected to be equipped with a 4kwh battery which may give the vehicle an estimated top speed of 80kmphr. To make it more pocket-friendly, it is anticipated that better finance options and an offer-flexible price will be introduced with the ride. The current products of Ampere provide only 2kwhr battery specification (Ampere Magnus Ex) and 3 kWh (Ampere Primus) specification which has a stronghold in the lower and mid-budget segment of the Indian EV industry. However, the newly announced entry of Ampere is expected to increase the audience pool of the company by competing in the higher-budget segment against Ola S1 pro (2nd generation), Ather 450XPro, TVS I qube S, etc.&nbsp; In addition to LED lighting, the Ampere NXG will have a touchscreen instrument console that may be connected to a smartphone. The belt-driven scooter will also have four riding modes. Concurrently, the hardware will consist of a disc braking system, dual rear springs, and telescopic front forks. Ampere is now operating a ride on the NXG from Kashmir to Kanyakumari. We anticipate that the company will make the formal launch announcement following the aforementioned ride.

ChargePoint has created an AI-powered driver assistance tool that can quickly diagnose and repair electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. The new software is reportedly the first in the EV charging industry which employs AI to detect physical faults and improve charger uptime. The program enables drivers to report non-functional charging stations by uploading images to the ChargePoint app. It analyses the photos and communicates the results to ChargePoint's Network Operations Centre, minimising the need for on-site inspections and accelerating issue resolution. Citing Rick Wilmer, CEO of ChargePoint Benzinga Edge reported, "This technology will enable us to triage and resolve physical issues that can not be detected via remote monitoring, demonstrating our commitment to innovations which deliver a reliable charging network." Recently, the business has collaborated with major manufacturers across the world to enhance EV charging solutions. This week, the business announced a collaboration with Daimler Buses to incorporate its telematics and charge management systems into Mercedes-Benz and Setra buses. In July, the firm teamed with Porsche Cars North America to integrate charging services. The cooperation will enhance Porsche customers' access to more than 100,000 chargers across North America.

MG Motor is all set to expand in India following the brand's latest collaboration with Jindal Steel Works (JSW). The company has two big releases in its pipeline of 2024 including the all-new Windsor EV and the facelifted Gloster, according to a report by Financial Express. Lately, the Chinese-owned British automaker is reported to be expanding its footprint in overseas markets. The business recently teased the facelifted ZS in Spain. The tiny SUV, known as Astor in India, will be given a complete makeover shortly in Spain. The Spanish social media handle of MG Motor has hinted a modified version of the Astor. The Astor's version shown is expected to feature an electric drivetrain. Welcome 2025 MG Astor: All you need to know The new MG Astor, dubbed ZS HEV, will be equipped with a powerful hybrid drivetrain. The self-charging hybrid propulsion system (HEV) consists of an Atkinson cycle petrol engine and an electric motor powered by a 1.83 kWh NCM lithium-ion battery. The new ZS HEV, like all powerful hybrids, can operate only on electric power for short periods of time. The vehicle has a front-wheel-drive system with a unique 3-speed automatic gearbox. Moreover, the MG3 hatchback also comes with the same setup. In addition to the new hybrid engine, MG claims to have fine-tuned the chassis. MG is anticipated to provide improvements that will make the hybrid type more operational, dependable, and safer than the current model. The 2025 MG Astor also receives some stylistic changes over the current model in Spain. For starters, it receives an all-new blacked-out mesh grille in front, complemented by updated LED headlights that give the car a fresh look. Furthermore, the bumper is reprofiled to house additional air intakes. Its shape and side profile remain unaltered, but it receives new alloy wheels. The 2025 Astor's rear end has new taillights and a redesigned bumper. 2025 MG Astor facelift launch in India? Since MG is unveiling the revised ZS in Spain soon, we may anticipate the Astor makeover to arrive in India in the next few months. However, there are no official updates yet and the particular timeline of the launch is not clear. The Astor debuted in India in late 2021 and is set for a mid-cycle redesign soon. Given the recent popularity and push for hybrid vehicles, the Astor Hybrid may be a worthwhile SUV to explore.

The Indian government on Friday started reinstating incentives to EV companies that were fined earlier for violating localization norms as per the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles (FAME) scheme. Following the update, Revolt Motors and Greaves Electric Mobility (part of Greaves Cotton) are now eligible for the new subsidy schemes. Both of these firms have applied for subsidies under the Electric Mobility Promotion Scheme within a few days of their penalties being washed out. The Government of India has previously given collection warnings to six EV manufacturers amounting to ₹469 crore for violation of regulations under the FAME-II subsidy. While Revolt and Greaves have paid back the government ₹170 crore, manufacturers such as Hero Electric and Okinawa Autotech, among others, have in turn moved the court of law challenging the government's claim. The Heavy Industries Ministry, in March 2024, established the EMPS for the purpose of providing subsidies to 3.72 lakh electric two- and three-wheelers, as the entire auto sector waited for the third subsidy under FAME. Besides, it has increased the public expenditure in budget spending to ₹778 crore to support 5.61 lakh automobiles post the annual budget of 2024. Official estimates state the government has already received claims for ₹147.32 crore against 1.01 lakh EVs sold under the EMPS for sale that started from April 1st. Among the set of companies already approved for the subsidy under the scheme are Hero MotoCorp, Bajaj, TVS, Ather, Ola, and Kinetic Green.

Tata is anticipated to declare on Wednesday that it has decided to locate its new <a href="https://evindia.online/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">electric vehicle</a> (EV) battery facility in the United Kingdom, a Reuters story reported. The choice was made following months of debate between a Somerset, England, and a Spain-based plant, with the latter expected to supply a new line of electric Jaguar and Land Rover cars. Tata's decision to locate an EV battery manufacturing facility in the UK would be a major victory for the nation's automotive sector. Furthermore, domestic battery manufacture will assist British automakers in adhering to post-Brexit trade regulations, which mandate that they source more components for electric vehicles locally in order to avoid tariffs on UK-EU commerce beginning in 2024. According to reports, the UK government intends to provide Tata subsidies for the battery project worth hundreds of millions of pounds. Although the decision to invest in battery manufacture in the UK is broadly applauded, several lawmakers, including Darren Jones, leader of the business committee, have emphasised the need for more thought on the subsidy package necessary to guarantee the investment. "We applaud JLR's decision to invest in battery manufacturing in the UK. However, we will want to consider the subsidy package that was necessary to guarantee this choice, according to Darren Jones, chair of the parliamentary business committee. Tata's decision to locate its battery production in the UK would also support Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's administration, which has lofty net-zero targets. The Salamanca Group, a privately held merchant banking company, owns the potential plant site.

The change to the FAME 2 subsidy, which resulted in a decline in the demand for electric <a href="https://evindia.online/scooter" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent;">two-wheelers</a> and, as a result, a decline in total volumes, caused a major decline in the sales of <a href="https://evindia.online/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent;">electric vehicles</a> in the month of June. However, sales of electric passenger vehicles (ePVs) were unchanged month over month in June but increased by 131% year over year. From 2% last month to 1.8% this month, the percentage of electric vehicle sales in total passenger vehicle sales declined marginally. The change in the subsidy still holds optimism because this is truly a "course correction" and retail sales are in line with what the government had predicted. Around 45,759 electric two-wheelers were sold last month, with Ola Electric accounting for 17,579 units sold, or 31.3 per cent of the market, followed by TVS Motor Co. with sales of 7,807 units, or 17 per cent of the market, and Ather Energy coming in third with 4,543 units sold or 12.7 per cent of the market.&nbsp; Additionally, one must be aware that many pre-purchases occurred in May when retail customers took advantage of greater FAME 2 subsidies; as a result, the decline in June volumes cannot be interpreted as an indication of real demand. According to research by BNP Paribas, sales could increase over the next few months as customers adjust to price increases and OEMs perhaps provide more affordable models. According to the report, EV penetration for electric three-wheelers and electric passenger cars marginally decreased monthly, while volume remained consistent. According to the study, Delhi had the greatest decline in the penetration of electric two-wheelers, which fell to 6.3% in June from 9.5% in FY2023. In the two-wheeler retail sector, both TVS Motor Company (3.4%) and Bajaj Auto (1.8%) saw a considerable month-over-month decline in the EV mix. It anticipates that June's e2W penetration will be at the bottom and stabilise around these levels before recovering once OEMs release more affordable models, which should be the subsequent encouraging development for the sector. In June, MG Motor India increased its monthly volume share from 7 per cent to 16 per cent, while Tata Motors saw a decline from 77 per cent to 66 per cent. Across the main states, the volume increase was uneven, with Karnataka reporting the highest monthly sales of electric vehicles. As of the first quarter of FY2024, ePV penetration increased to 1.8%. Kerala made the biggest gain in terms of penetration, with a penetration rate of 6.4 per cent compared to 2.3 per cent in FY23. In June, Tata Motors' EV mix in the PV market marginally declined to 12 per cent. It claims that new model releases, most of which should occur in the second half of FY2024, continue to be a significant positive stimulus for EV penetration.

The Chinese EV maker, BYD, backed by Warren Buffet, recently launched the most awaited Atto 3 electric SUV into the Indian EV market. It is a firm that has a prominent position at the forefront of electric vehicle technology, having made significant technical, financial, and cognitive investments in the EV industry. It creates the Blade, generally regarded as the smartest and most cutting-edge lithium-ion battery in the world. This is no little accomplishment. Even Tesla, which takes great pride in its in-house battery technology, will probably employ BYD's Blade cells for its Model Y, which is made in Germany. Additionally, it is one of the world's biggest makers of lithium-ion batteries. Therefore, BYD is certainly not a tech dummy.&nbsp;The business is not new to India. The business has been operating at this location for the past 15 years, focusing on chargers, solar cells, battery bank, electric buses, vehicles, and forklifts, as well as mobile accessories. The Atto 3 is BYD's second vehicle to enter the Indian market; the company now has roughly 20 dealers spread throughout the country's major cities. The EV is priced at around Rs. 33.99 lahks (ex-showroom) and offers a range of around 521km when fully charged. The company has already begun shipment of the BYD Atto 3 in India. Range, Battery &amp; Charging Time the India-specific The 60.48 kWh battery pack of the BYD Atto 3 is said to provide 521 kilometers of driving range on a full charge. BYD claims that a DC fast charger can recharge an electric SUV from empty to 80% in 50 minutes. Nevertheless, it would take the standard AC household charger about 10 hours to recharge completely. Features The BYD Atto 3 has a solitary electric motor that produces 201 horsepower and 310 Nm of peak torque. The sprint time from 0 to 100 kph is reportedly 7.3 secs. This electric SUV includes a magnificent sunroof, a touchscreen infotainment panel, a spinning 12.8-inch touch instrument cluster with Apple CarPlay, and more. Bookings In January 2023, BYD India sent out over 340 Atto 3 electric SUVs. The business claims that the EV was delivered to clients after being dispatched to its dealerships all throughout India. It's important to note that the Atto 3 had more than 1,500 reservations by December of last year, and that figure is likely to have increased considerably more by this point.
