Maruti Suzuki India, the country's largest manufacturer, is seeking to establish a comprehensive ecosystem for electric vehicle buyers as it prepares to launch its first battery-powered model early next year. In addition to establishing charging infrastructure, the company will also look for other key components like having resale opportunities for such models. "We are not only going to launch the product, but we are going to provide a complete ecosystem for the customers who will be part of the electric vehicle family," citing Maruti Suzuki India (MSI) Senior Executive Officer (Marketing &amp; Sales) Partho Banerjee at the 64th SIAM annual session, rediff Moneywiz reported. He mentioned that the main concern for EV customers is the range. "Secondly, it is the EV infrastructure and thirdly it is about the residual value of the vehicle after five years," according to Banerjee. He further revealed that the company's first EV vehicle, a mid-sized SUV, will be presented at the Bharat Mobility event in January of next year. The vehicle will have a driving range of more than 500 km, he noted. On sales projections for this year's holiday season, Banerjee stated, "In festival time, we are going to see some positivity...we are very optimistic." He further remarked, "The assumption is that it would be far better than the current scenario. We will see positive results from here." When asked about increased inventory levels, Banerjee said the business made a strategic decision to adjust deliveries to dealers. "We have reduced dispatches to our dealers for a very simple reason as we want to calibrate the retails along with the wholesale so that we have a healthy network stock," he elaborated.

“Are we one” to join the revolution? Asked Revolt Motors on Tuesday while launching its all-new electric bikes RV1 and Rv1+. Starting from only Rs 85,000, the launched vehicles are expected to complete the company’s fleet by tapping the affordable price range and family-ride market.&nbsp; The company has already started pre-booking for the ride with a token amount of Rs 499 and surprisingly, the waiting time has been kept to only 10 days.&nbsp; Launched, reportedly, as India’s first electric commuter bike with reverse mode, Anjali Rattan, Chairperson, of Rattan India Enterprises Limited claimed that the bike is one of its kind. In talks with EVINDIA, the Chairperson said, “We are right now the number 1 electric motorbike company of the country and for the next 5 years, our aspiration is to be number 1 in terms of sales, service and new product launches.” When asked about the difference between the company’s previous offering and the new launch, the chairperson remarked, “It (the new vehicle) is more like a commuter and a family bike which is pocket-friendly as well.” The entry-level electric bike RV1 will be available in a 2.2kwh variant and cost Rs 84,999, meanwhile, the RV1+ will come with a 3.2kwh battery and cost Rs 99,999. The RV1 ride can get charged from 0 to 80% in just 2 hr 15 min whereas the RV1+ will take 3hrs 30mins. Interestingly, the fast charging feature in the RV1+ can reduce the charging time to as low as 1hr 20 mins, making the bike stand out in the EV market. <img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdgd_Jgk2mu-IXhvydkr7JtWVuMndyM92r7LMDWK4oG1BVtAWHcyG-4Wgan8w_xRLPbJWmmJ_8GX630f4rwD6y2b7cSc2W2SUGl3fmb4N5RBszRU69Ggjw-M-Y73D2JRM2zNu2zUJlgbKMQ2wh8pDLq-v-b?key=S-w8f29kBbmKCzJsL9Nfyg" height="423.97310513447434" width="582"> Both vehicles have the same top speed of 70kmph and can produce a peak power of 2.8 kW.

To increase the share of domestically manufactured components in electric vehicles (EVs), the government has initiated a new phased manufacturing program (PMP). The planned Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid &amp;) Electric Vehicles (FAME-III) subsidy scheme, which is anticipated to be introduced later this year, is said to be the target market for the manufacturers covered by the new program's criteria, according to a report by Financial Express. "To frame the new programme, a four-member team comprising representatives from the Department of Heavy Industries, Automotive Research Association of India, and other organisations has been constituted," the report stated. According to the report, the new scheme would be stricter than the previous one since it will limit the importation of parts that are needed to make electric vehicles. In addition, the new PMP will require domestic manufacturing of non-critical components. According to the recommended guidelines, the number of critical components has been reduced from eighteen to twelve. These parts include, among other things, electronic throttles, vehicle control units, traction battery packs, AC and DC charging inlets, electric compressors for HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), electric compressors for brakes, and AC and DC charging inlets. "The localisation scrutiny guidelines have been explicitly mentioned in the PMP this time around to detect any violations of the proposed norms," citing a source, the report stated.

VinFast, a Vietnamese company that makes <a href="https://evindia.online/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">electric vehicles</a>, is moving forward with plans to open its first EV battery manufacturing factory in India, according to Reuters news agency. According to three people with knowledge of the situation, cited in the paper, the electric vehicle (EV) industrial facility is planned to be located in Thoothukudi, in the southern state of Tamil Nadu. The development of batteries intended for electric vehicles is reportedly the main emphasis of this industrial facility. It's important to note that this project differs from VinFast's previous intentions, which called for assembling vehicles using parts that were delivered from Vietnam. VinFast, a vehicle manufacturer that competes with the likes of Tesla and China's BYD, has chosen not to comment on the development and has remained silent about it. The business did, however, issue a statement on Wednesday indicating that it will reveal the full scope of its intentions at "an appropriate time." Citing a source who is a senior official directly involved in the case, Reuters reported "Many VinFast executives paid a visit to Thoothukudi district in Tamil Nadu to check out sites," on Tuesday. According to another story by Reuters, VinFast started hiring in India for positions in sales, law, and back office, looking for those who "dare to think, dare to do, and dare to face difficulties." The extent of the investment and the anticipated date of the Tamil Nadu VinFast factory's opening are still unknown. In October, VinFast announced that it will construct assembly plants in Indonesia and India, each capable of producing up to 50,000 vehicles annually and requiring an initial capital investment of up to $200 million. It also said that manufacturing will start in 2026. In addition, in October, Reuters also reported VinFast CEO Le Thi Thu Thuy’s intention to open Green SM, an EV taxi company mostly owned by VinFast's founder, in India, the third-largest automobile market in the world.

According to reports, Tesla is developing plans to produce and market battery storage solutions in the nation. Elon Musk's business is said to have submitted a proposal asking for financial incentives to construct a plant.&nbsp; According to Reuters, Tesla recommended using its "Powerwall" technology, which stores energy from solar panels or grids for usage at night or during shortages, to assist India's battery storage capacity. The officials informed Tesla that the incentives it had requested to build its battery storage facility would not be granted. However, according to the article, the Indian government promised the corporation that by providing subsidies to individuals who buy such items, they would aid in the development of a fair economic model.&nbsp; The plan is apparently being evaluated by the government.&nbsp; Tesla and the Indian government have been negotiating to establish a new electric vehicle plant there to produce vehicles costing about $24,000. The company's intentions for a more extensive presence in India—something beyond <a href="http://www.evindia.online" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent;">EVs</a>—include the Powerwall idea. The majority of India's electricity comes from coal-based power plants. India, on the other hand, wants to switch to non-fossil fuel electricity and aims to increase the capacity to 500 GW by 2030.&nbsp; Powerwall is a meter-high device that may be installed in a garage or on the exterior of a house and is intended for household and light business use. If the concept is successful, Tesla may provide more substantial solutions for the Indian sector.&nbsp; ﻿In California, a Powerwall costs over $5,500 (about Rs 45,000), plus additional fees for solar panels. According to reports, Indian officials advised Tesla to focus on bringing the price of its battery storage devices down.

In addition to previously stating that ICE and EV <a href="https://evindia.online/scooter" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent;">two-wheelers</a> would coexist, Siddhartha Lal, the managing director of Eicher Motors Limited (EML), has now disclosed that the company's bike-making subsidiary, Royal Enfield, will introduce its first electric bike in India in 2025. "The electric motorbike won't be available for sale for almost two years. We are driving our test vehicles. We will need some time, though. Lal said at a press conference with reporters following the release of the company's Q1 results that we don't want to disclose anything that isn't fully developed to the market. "Our plan is to be totally disruptive," he continued. “Therefore, it is not about putting something in and hoping, facing off against rivals, or outperforming them. In terms of <a href="https://evindia.online/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent;">EV</a>, the paradigm we're striving towards is completely different. Creating anything truly amazing takes time.” Earlier this year, it was revealed that the venerable bike manufacturer has started working on electric vehicle (EV) research. To give a more concentrated emphasis on the EV sector, Eicher Motors established a specialised arm for its EV project, the business has already assembled a committed team of over 100 individuals under the direction of CTO Umesh Krishnappa. "We have hired someone who is establishing a team and managing the commercial aspect of the EV business. Although there is a lot of work being done”, Lal cautioned that it will still be a few years away. For this fiscal year, Royal Enfield has set aside more than Rs 1,000 crore in capital expenditures, the majority of which will be used to create goods and sales infrastructure for electric vehicles. Before moving into a new, greenfield plant in Cheyyar, the company is in the midst of setting up a specialised assembly line with a capacity of around 1.5 lakh units annually for its electric vehicles. Regarding the argument that EVs fall under the purview of "Royal Enfield and Eicher Motors," Lal responds, "We do study all alternatives, we look at what others are doing, but we are not trend followers. The primary business must also be considered; is it a sunset business? You further dilute yourself if you put your eggs in something else. There is absolutely no attempt or activity to modify that the EV will remain inside Eicher Motors and be the future growth engine for Eicher Motors and Royal Enfield.” According to Govindarajan, CEO of Royal Enfield, the business is developing a strong team that is focused solely on EV projects because the product strategy is an extremely "elaborate process" that requires knowing "consumers' requirements." "We are putting up some capacity, testing the mules, and registering with the supply partners. But it's only one car; there are other components, such as battery management systems and motor control unit systems, that must be made for electric vehicles. The partners have all been created. Therefore, we are operating at full throttle in terms of execution”, said Govindrajan. Following the release of its June quarter results, which Lal referred to as its "best ever," Eicher Motors' stock price increased by about 1.6 per cent.

The Delhi administration has been encouraged to slacken the deadlines for the transition to <a href="https://evindia.online/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">electric vehicles</a> (EVs), according to a story in The Economic Times. IAMAI's (Internet and Mobile Association of India) argument is that an aggressive EV transition might harm the lives of gig workers in Delhi who had invested in conventionally powered <a href="https://evindia.online/scooter" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">two-wheelers</a>. As cited by ET, IndiaTech, a lobbying organisation for the technology sector, and Nasscom, which represents firms like Ola, Zomato, and Zepto, have also indicated the dates for the switch to electric vehicles. “The availability of automobiles and accompanying infrastructure should be taken into consideration when setting adoption goals for EVs,” Nasscom stated in its proposal. The objectives for electrification seem unattainable given the minimal availability of EVs in Delhi today, particularly in the 2- and 4-wheeler segments. Furthermore, even if EVs were accessible, it would be challenging for drivers to transition to EVs due to a lack of supporting infrastructure. Therefore, an aggressive electrification policy in a weak supply-side ecosystem will force aggregators and delivery service providers (DSPs) to significantly slow down their business growth in the National Capital Territory of Delhi, which will ultimately affect people's mobility in the NCT of Delhi, it continued. IndiaTech said in its submission that the programme places the obligation of transition on the platforms, which have no control over the cars, and urged the Delhi government to ease off on the objectives and eliminate fines on the mandatory EV transition. "The vehicles belong to the gig worker, and any intention to switch to EV is at the sole discretion of the gig workers," it said. In order to comply with this legislation, industry participants will have to "reserve" all gig work for just those who have electric vehicles for two years and for four years, respectively. Such regulation will result in entrance obstacles for people who cannot afford an EV.

In today's era, you will always observe a crucial evolution in the Electric Vehicle (EV) industry. The government played an essential role in demand creation by increasing the EV subsidies. As a result, we saw a sudden increase in demand last year. The unanticipated demand came as a shock to many OEMs. Some of them took some time to increase production, resulting in extended waiting periods for customers who had booked their vehicles. It may have taken OEMs some time to cope with the demand; most seem prepared for the festive season. With the trends emerging ahead, it's time to put the pedal on marketing to claim the market share; many of them have taken an online route &amp; made their range of EVs available on e-commerce marketplace like<a href="https://www.flipkart.com/search?q=bgauss&amp;sid=7dk%2C0aj%2Ckuz%2Cgyu%2Cbbh&amp;as=on&amp;as-show=on&amp;otracker=AS_QueryStore_OrganicAutoSuggest_1_6_na_na_na&amp;otracker1=AS_QueryStore_OrganicAutoSuggest_1_6_na_na_na&amp;as-pos=1&amp;as-type=RECENT&amp;suggestionId=bgauss%7CElectric+Scooters&amp;requestId=b8394eee-1167-42f3-9c65-3dcd2cd4cc35&amp;as-searchtext=bgauss" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(14, 16, 26);"> </a><a href="https://www.flipkart.com/search?q=bgauss&amp;sid=7dk%2C0aj%2Ckuz%2Cgyu%2Cbbh&amp;as=on&amp;as-show=on&amp;otracker=AS_QueryStore_OrganicAutoSuggest_1_6_na_na_na&amp;otracker1=AS_QueryStore_OrganicAutoSuggest_1_6_na_na_na&amp;as-pos=1&amp;as-type=RECENT&amp;suggestionId=bgauss%7CElectric+Scooters&amp;requestId=b8394eee-1167-42f3-9c65-3dcd2cd4cc35&amp;as-searchtext=bgauss" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Flipkart.</a> Where new age brands like<a href="https://evindia.online/company/bounce-infinity" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(14, 16, 26);"> </a><a href="https://evindia.online/company/bounce-infinity" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Bounce</a> and established brands like<a href="https://evindia.online/company/ampere" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(14, 16, 26);"> </a><a href="https://evindia.online/company/ampere" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Ampere</a> launched their electric scooters on Flipkart, they did so with big bang announcements with top media houses covering the news.

Like many OEMs at that time, their initial range of scooters drew a lot of inspiration from their Chinese counterparts; however, their focus on providing the best quality product at unmatched prices gave them an edge over the local competitors. For example, very few EVs in the slow-speed segment used to come with top-in-class Bosch hub motors. However, during this time, a significant shift in the Industry occurred with the updated<a href="https://e-amrit.niti.gov.in/national-level-policy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(14, 16, 26);"> </a><a href="https://e-amrit.niti.gov.in/national-level-policy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">FAME II</a> policy by the central government, followed by EV subsidy policies by various<a href="https://e-amrit.niti.gov.in/state-level-policies" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(14, 16, 26);"> </a><a href="https://e-amrit.niti.gov.in/state-level-policies" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">state governments</a>. The FAME II &amp; PLI scheme by the government was intended to spark the demand creation in high speed, high range segment with a focus on made in India initiative. With the subsidies in place associated with the size of the batteries, to be eligible for the FAME II scheme, the scooters have to run at a minimum of 40 km/hr with at least 80% of localization and 80km of the ARAI range. While the demand began shifting from low-speed to high-speed scooters, It seems that the management team of BGauss observed this trend from a long distance. As our sources tell us, BGauss started building their in-house R &amp; D team to build and design a regular city commuter from scratch in 2020.Soon after carrying out market research and considering the Indian road conditions, they took up the challenge of developing a smart electric scooter with a metal body and 16-inch big alloy wheels. The target was set to achieve a 60 km/hr top speed benchmark and 100 km driving range. All this was to be accomplished under the price tag of 1 lakh. While the research and development team was working on the daunting task, the competition clock was also ticking. On the one hand, they faced competition from VC-backed cash-rich startups like<a href="https://evindia.online/company/ola-electric" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(14, 16, 26);"> </a><a href="https://evindia.online/company/ola-electric" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">OLA Electric</a>,<a href="https://evindia.online/company/simple-energy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(14, 16, 26);"> </a><a href="https://evindia.online/company/simple-energy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Simple Energy</a>, and<a href="https://bounceinfinity.com/home.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(14, 16, 26);"> </a><a href="https://bounceinfinity.com/home.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Bounce</a>. On the other hand, the Industry giant Okinawa Autotech also started working on a similar product. But the management team's forthrightness gave them a buffer zone, and they were able to introduce rigorously tested D15 on the Indian road before this festive season. <h3>How to buy an Electric Vehicle from Flipkart?</h3>Where all other products you order on Flipkart are directly delivered to your doorstep, buying an electric vehicle on Flipkart is a different game altogether.&nbsp; Soon after booking the e-scooter from Flipkart by paying the Ex-Showroom Price, Flipkart will connect the buyer to an authorized BGauss Showroom. The buyer will then have to go through the insurance and RTO registration process, make a separate payment directly to the dealer, submit the KYC documents, and pick up the vehicle from the dealership a couple of weeks later. <h3>Who should ideally consider an electric vehicle by BGauss?</h3>If you're seeking an electric two-wheeler for long-distance daily commutes, then BG D15's 16-inch alloy wheels on Indian road conditions &amp; seat quality offer excellent comfort and convenience. The real-world range of BGauss D15 of around 90 km at a speed of 60 KMPH for daily everyday commute is an attractive proposition; however, if you are on the lookout for an electric vehicle for smart city commutes with a budget under 1 Lakh, then you can consider BGauss B8 or A2. You can drive this vehicle in style for up to 70 km under fully charged conditions, and it offers a top speed of 25km per hour.
