Well, it can be said that we can see the upcoming Bharat Mobility Global Expo as a conjecture of private and public efforts done in the last few years to transition the market from ICE to electric vehicles. The potential of the Indian market is well reflected in the fact that the Vietnamese company VinFast has chosen India as its fourth global EV market after Canada, the USA and Europe. The consumer-driven market of India needs affordable high-tech rides that can serve well on Indian roads and varying terrains. Amidst the attempt to provide such transformation, VinFast has emerged as a promising player, bringing its innovative EV solutions to market in India and across the globe. Now, with its first foray into India through Bharat Mobility, VinFast is ready to disrupt the Indian EV market with its promise of technological superiority and sustainable mobility. Who is VinFast? VinFast, a subsidiary of the Vietnamese conglomerate Vingroup, is relatively new to the automotive industry, having been founded in 2017. Despite its young age, VinFast has quickly made a name for itself with its ambitious vision and rapid product development. The brand debuted in the global automotive arena with internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles but swiftly transitioned to focus exclusively on EVs by 2021. This bold pivot underscores its commitment to driving the world toward a greener future. With a strong emphasis on cutting-edge technology, sustainability, and customer-centric designs, VinFast has established a presence in several international markets, including the United States, Europe, and now India. Its entry into the Indian market through Bharat Mobility is a strategic move that reflects the growing potential of India as a key player in the global EV ecosystem. Why India? The Potential of the Indian EV Market India is one of the world's fastest-growing automotive markets, with a population exceeding 1.4 billion and increasing urbanisation. However, the penetration of EVs in the Indian automotive market is still relatively low, accounting for less than 2% of total vehicle sales as of 2024. The researchers have indicated that this number is going to rise significantly in the year 2025, with the four-wheeler EV market expected to see a penetration of about 10%. This gap is filled by the EV manufacturers who are all set to introduce innovative products tailored to Indian consumers' needs. Several factors make India a promising market for EVs: Government Initiatives: Policies like the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles (FAME) scheme, subsidies, and incentives on EV purchases encourage consumers to switch to electric mobility. Environmental Awareness: With rising air pollution levels in major cities, the demand for cleaner, greener alternatives is on the rise. Growing Infrastructure: The expansion of EV charging networks and renewable energy sources makes it more feasible for consumers to adopt EVs. According to a report by Forvis Mazars, “With the number of public charging stations increasing from 1,800 in early 2022 to over 16,000 by March 2024, the landscape is evolving rapidly.” Cost Sensitivity: Indian consumers are highly cost-conscious, and the promise of lower running costs for EVs compared to traditional ICE vehicles is a significant draw. Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme: India's PLI scheme has been successful in attracting global manufacturers to set up operations in the country. The fact that VinFast opened a manufacturing plant in Tamil Nadu six months ahead of schedule in the first half of 2025 speaks to the effectiveness of the scheme. The facility is in line with India's "Make in India" initiative but also speaks to the commitment of VinFast to localizing production to reduce costs and create more jobs. As such, this is going to be one of the major production facilities for VinFast Electric Vehicles in India. As such, it will provide more localized solutions for the market while supporting the government's goals of electrification and self-reliance in the automobile sector. Showcasing Innovation at Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025 VinFast is set to make waves at the upcoming Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, scheduled from January 17 to 21. Among the highlights are two of its most anticipated electric sports utility vehicles (SUVs): the VF 7 and VF 9. The VF 7: Sleek Design Meets Performance The VF7 electric car is a five-seater sporty ride which comes with a swoopy, crossover-like appearance complemented by sleek lights at the front and rear in a design of VinFast’s “V”,&nbsp;symbolising innovation and vision. In markets outside of its home country, the VF 7 is supplied in two variations: Eco, with a net 75.3kWh battery pack and, another with a similar net 75.3kWh battery pack.

The Eco trim features a 12.9-inch infotainment touchscreen, while the Plus variant is upgraded to a 15-inch screen. Wheels: Alloy wheels vary by trim, with 19 inches for the Eco and 20 or 21 inches for the Plus. The VF 7 is a testament to VinFast’s ability to blend aesthetics, functionality, and advanced technology, making it an ideal choice for Indian urban and semi-urban consumers. The VF 9: Redefining Luxury and Utility As the largest e-SUV in VinFast’s lineup, the VF 9 is designed for families and adventure enthusiasts. This three-row SUV can comfortably seat six or seven passengers and boasts dimensions larger than the Audi Q7. Performance: Both the Eco and the Plus variants will have a 123kWh battery pack with a dual-motor all-wheel drive, with 408 horsepower and 620 Nm of torque.

Customer-Centric Approach VinFast ensures its vehicles are adaptable to diverse market conditions, designing for durability and cost-efficiency tailored to Indian roads and consumer preferences. 4- Aesthetics like never before The vehicle comes with “Premium Innovation With 3 Rows of Seating For 7 People,” making the ride suitable for your large family. The configuration gives the ride a bulky look. VinFast has featured an on-of-its-kind Glass Roof in its ride. The interior of the vehicle is also designed very sophisticatedly, as seen in the ride’s dynamic ambient lighting that can be customized according to your mood. Vegan leather hugs the seats of the vehicle and the digital cockpit makes the ride an aesthetical statement.&nbsp; 5- Safety reimagined While manufacturing the VF series it seems like the company has paid a special emphasis on the user’s safety. In the vehicle, ADAS helps keep you and your passenger safe with features including collision warning, fully automatic parking assist, remote parking, on-ramp and off-ramp assistance, cruise assistance, motorway driving aid, auto lane-changing assist, and summon mode.&nbsp; A Bright Future: Transforming Indian Mobility VinFast’s partnership with Bharat Mobility, coupled with its showcase at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, underscores its ambition to lead India’s EV revolution. With cutting-edge technology, sustainable practices, and customer-centric designs, VinFast is set to redefine mobility in India.

OPG Mobility's Groundbreaking EV Lineup at Bharat EV Expo 2025: A New Era in Electric Mobility

OPG Mobility to unveil Groundbreaking EV Lineup at Bharat EV Expo 2025

Have you ever heard of 'Zero Defect Workstations'? An EV manufacturing workstation where the top and field-level employees actively engage to deliver a product with 'zero' defects whatsoever. An EV developed with zero defects seems promising, right? Well, Gensol EV, a subsidiary of Gensol Engineering has turned this idea into reality. The company’s first EV– EZIO is going to be launched at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025.&nbsp; The BluSmart-backed Gensol EV is expected to cater to the company’s cab service available in cities like Delhi, Bengaluru, and Mumbai(recently). Following the launch of EZIO, the EV subsidiary of Gensol along with the existing cab service, the parent company will now have greater autonomy. This partnership is forged on the foundation of shared values and a common vision for sustainable mobility and is expected to be proven highly synergistic. This partnership not only provides a significant market for Gensol's vehicles but also contributes significantly to BluSmart's mission of providing sustainable and eco-friendly transportation solutions. By leveraging this partnership, BluSmart is able to offer a reliable and affordable fleet of electric vehicles, demonstrating the viability and convenience of electric mobility to a wider audience.&nbsp; Here is how the market is going to welcome this development– 1- Greater Market Share in Ride-hailing Services-&nbsp; As of now, BluSmart occupies only about 2% ride-hailing market in India. However, the company is only present in big cities like Delhi NCR, Bangalore, and Mumbai, where 68% of the nation's mobility market is concentrated. Generally, BluSmart's fleet includes different types of vehicles including Mahindra Tata e-Tigor, e-Verito, Hyundai Kona, Tata Xpres-T EV, Electric, and MG ZS Electric. However, these vehicles are generally hired on a lease basis. BluSmart relies heavily on vehicles leased from Gensol Engineering as well. Around two-thirds of BluSmart's fleet is sourced from Gensol. In the coming times, this self-dependence is going to increase.

Gensol EV Unveils EZIO at Global Expo 2025 | Sustainable Mobility Redefined

BluSmart-backed Gensol EV presents EZIO at Global Expo 2025: Here are anticipated market changes

The US election's result has observed bittersweet reactions from all over the world. Donald Trump has once again climbed up the presidential chair by riding a worldwide wave of “right” ideology. Since the inception of his 2nd tenure, Donald Trump has already taken decisions to put “America first”. One such decision by the President-elect is to put a 25% tariff on all products imported into the US from Mexico and Canada and a 35% tariff on products from China. This hard-power decision taken by Trump has been feared by many economists throughout the world. But what are they feared about? What does it mean for India? Are EVs in India going to be more expensive? Let's find out! The Decision It is safe to say that the steps taken by Trump’s administration do represent the majoritarian will of the American people as he was already advocating for a 60 per cent tariff on imports from China, and 10-20 per cent on others. According to him, high tariffs will boost manufacturing in the US which will rebalance trade with other countries, and improve government finances. The President-elect announced the tariff imposition on the top trading partners of the USA–Mexico, Canada and China on the social media platform Truth Social.&nbsp; Earlier, the Inflation Reduction Act has already introduced various tax credits for EV companies to set up their manufacturing units in the USA. In fact, according to a report by nrdc.org, the USA has already surpassed China as the most favourable country for EV investments. Now, with the tariff hanging over, it will be interesting to note the reactions of the worldwide EV companies.&nbsp; The effect&nbsp; According to research by economists at the Peterson Institute of International Economics, Trump's policies might wind up costing the average American household more than $2,600 a year. Nonetheless, it seems that both Republicans and Democrats support the concept of increasing tariffs.&nbsp; Free market analysts and advocates of globalisation have shown serious concern over Trump’s decision, as the tariff wars between countries may come at a cost of inflation and global slowdown. Amid such volatility, the comparatively nascent market of electric vehicles has also come under threat.&nbsp;Although, as per studies, the USA only accounts for 7-10% contribution to the global supply chain of EVs, the direct repercussions will be faced by the companies who have their manufacturing or assembly units in the USA.&nbsp;&nbsp; Recent reports by Bloomberg have shown that BYD intends to reduce prices to tackle tariffs and not shift the burden on consumers. The step came after Tesla offered a price cut on its Model Y in China. BYD, the Chinese giant has been in constant competition with Tesla for the rank of No1 in worldwide sales.However, communist China provides a great government intervention to absorb the losses which the company makes in order to remain in the competition. Although this policy is not designed to serve in the long run, BYD has already reported to cut down its prices.&nbsp; Trump’s decision has invoked chances of potential retaliation by Mexico and China, while Canada has started negotiations. Once an advocate of free trade, the USA seems to shift its policy towards protectionist ideas, risking a global slowdown, amid the broken dispute resolution mechanism of the World Trade Organization (WTO). The USA as the third largest EV market in the world accounts for 10% of the overall global market worth, after China accounting for 60% and Europe accounting for 25%. However, in the USA, approximately 70% of the sold EVs are domestically manufactured while $19 billion worth of electric vehicles are imported, according to the USA customs clearance website. Hence, it can be said that after the tariffs, the global EV industry may be affected by at least $19 billion. Moreover, the raw material imported from other countries to manufacture EVs may also add to the losses, taking the number to another higher value.&nbsp; Impact on India&nbsp; India is an import-oriented country whose overall trade remains in deficit, however, India has a trade surplus with the USA. That said, if the inflation in the US market rises, the demand in the market will reduce, ultimately leading to a loss of a considerable amount of India’s foreign exchange. It is also interesting to note that in Trump 1.0, India has already lost its Generalised System of Preference (GSP) status which obliged a developed nation to buy certain products from a developing country. However, as per SBI, there has been a significant rise in the trade of India with the USA despite revoking the GSP status which is a good sign for the overall Indian market.&nbsp; With bilateral trade over $120 billion in FY24, the US continues to be India's largest trading partner, marginally surpassing India's trade with China. India's dependence on the US market has increased over the last ten years; currently, 18% of India's exports go to the US, up from 10% in 2010–11. India exports a wide range of products to the US, including engineering equipment, electronics, and textiles. The EV companies planning to launch themselves in the US market might have to change their plans. On the other hand, the earlier cut in the fed rates by the USA might indicate a good time for EV companies to go global. Hence, EV companies must navigate between this opportunity and challenge to make their way to the world. Whereas, when it comes to pricing, it is highly unlikely that any Indian EV company will significantly change the cost of its EV due to this update.

Trump’s Second Term: Impact on the Indian EV Market and Global Trade Dynamics

Will Trump’s administration impact the Indian EV market?

INGLO: The Foundation for Electric Supremacy The XEV 9e and BE 6e are based on the revolutionary INGLO Electric Origin Architecture. This platform marks a high-tech departure from the past, designed from the ground up exclusively for electric vehicles. INGLO is the "Electric Origin" philosophy which breaks away from the the limitations of existing platforms and forges a path for the future of electric mobility.

The design provides a roomy, comfortable cabins offering enhanced seating flexibility. The platform's modularity allows for the creation of diverse models, catering to a range of preferences – from the athletic BE 6e to the elegant XEV 9e, without compromising on performance or quality. Passengers will have a superlative driving experience – lighter, more agile, and incredibly spacious. Range Anxiety? A Thing of the Past INGLO tackles a major challenge for EVs – range anxiety.&nbsp; With robust battery options of 59 kWh and 79 kWh, these SUVs offer a class-leading range, putting an end to worries about frequent charging. Furthermore, INGLO utilizes advanced LFP battery chemistry and standardized cell-to-pack technology. This translates to long-lasting durability, exceptional safety, and unwavering reliability. But innovation doesn't stop there.

Safety remains paramount, and INGLO prioritizes it with features like ultra-high-strength boron steel and reinforced frontal structures. This unwavering commitment to safety ensures the XEV 9e and BE 6e are built to endure, able to withstand extreme heat and rigorous crash tests, keeping you confident on every journey. Thrilling Performance, Unmatched Handling Exciting driving experiences await in both the XEV 9e and BE 6e, with INGLO providing a compact three-in-one powertrain including motor, inverter, and transmission for great performance creating power outputs in the range of 170 kW to 210 kW for rear-wheel-drive variants. The vehicles boast a semi-active suspension system for best-in-class handling, high-power steering, and brake-by-wire technology to deliver a smooth yet thrilling ride experience. In conjunction with this, INGLO will feature intelligent drive modes for turning the SUV so that it adjusts to the terrain accordingly at the touch of a button leaving the vehicle and driver in oneness. A Glimpse into the Future: Technology and Design While full specifications remain under wraps, the XEV 9e and BE 6e are anticipated to be technological marvels offering luxurious comfort. The XEV 9e might feature a futuristic triple-screen dashboard layout, while the BE 6e could boast a dual-screen setup.&nbsp; Both models are expected to include a panoramic sunroof, a nearly square steering wheel with haptic buttons, and illuminated branding.&nbsp; Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) controls are also expected to be integrated into the steering, along with toggle buttons and paddle shifters for regenerative braking.&nbsp; The centre console designs are likely to differ between the two models, with the XEV 9e potentially offering a third screen for the front passenger. The design language for both SUVs embraces a futuristic aesthetic, integrating sharp design elements tailored for modern EV enthusiasts.&nbsp; The XEV 9e could feature a connected LED light bar at the front, complemented by vertical lighting elements, a closed grille, and a sleek bonnet adorned with Mahindra's new EV-specific logo.&nbsp; In contrast, the BE 6e is expected to flaunt its unique identity with a BE logo at the front, alongside a design inspired by the XUV 3XO concept. Both SUVs are expected to showcase bold character lines, expansive wheel arches housing 18-inch alloy wheels, and connected LED tail lights at the rear.&nbsp; The BE 6e also distinguishes itself with a coupe-like roofline, enhancing its sportier appeal. A New Era Dawns Mahindra &amp; Mahindra Ltd. is currently keeping all eyes on upcoming products, putting aside the dwindling sales of its only electric model, the Mahindra XUV400, as expressed earlier by Rajesh Jejurikar, Executive Director, Auto and Farm Sectors, Mahindra and Mahindra Ltd. Thus, the XUV400, which sold 1,800 units, will not become the focus of the entire company in the electric vehicle market anymore. Rather, Mahindra will invest and allocate resources toward the two products, XEV 9e and BE 6e, which will have exclusive production lines at its Chakan set-up for these vehicles. These products redefine electric mobility as India steps into a future where electric mobility is celebrated. They drag on by virtue of their own innovative INGLO platform, cutting-edge technology, and stunning design, ensuring the most exciting and cleanest mobility experience on Indian roads. In no time, we will be able to witness these officially unveiled; till then, we can rest assured that Mahindra will always remain ahead of the game, bringing life into the future of electric mobility in India.

Enjoying easily available loans for vehicles is a rare luxury. And when it comes to EVs, the lane gets more narrower. However, with the rise of EV financing institutions like Green NBFCs (Non-banking financing companies), financing your EV is now easier than ever before. Companies like <a href="https://www.ecofy.co.in/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Ecofy</a> and <a href="https://evfin.co/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">evfin by Greaves</a> many others have entered the EV financing market to offer a wholesome EV financing Ecosystem, so much so that the companies are now providing a 5-minute loan procedure! What exactly are Green NBFCs? How they are better?&nbsp; Green NBFCs are institutions that provide cheap and easy loans to any entity that has decided to reduce its carbon footprint. Green NBFCs are the answer to the problems customers generally face when they seek loans for their electric vehicles from regular banks. The main issues lie in the availability, process, and terms &amp; conditions of the loans often provided by these banks. And how NBFCs are better? Simple! Because they solve these issues. How are Green NBFCs better? The Rate of Interest by these NBFCs, generally, starts from 5.99 % only, unlike the high-rate loans given by banks. Obviously, it depends on your CIBIL score. Well, some banks do provide lower interest rates, however, on average any bank takes 1-2 days for any loan approval. In contrast, a Green NBFC only takes a minimum of 5 minutes to approve your loan. Moreover, banks charge you a significant amount in the case of foreclosure but when it comes to NBFCs these charges are next to nothing and sometimes, literally nothing. In addition, financial products by green NBFCs are optimised for EV purchases, unlike banks’ general financial products for every vehicle. Sometimes due to your CIBIL score, you might not be eligible for loans in banks but NBFCs might help you out.&nbsp; How to claim your 5-min loan? Although all Green NBFCs follow almost the same procedure, some steps might differ or vary depending on the company. But not to worry, if you are stuck anywhere in between, just call our EVGURUS at 9099900563 and we will help you navigate through this journey. To apply for any EV loan we highly recommend you thoroughly refer to the steps mentioned below–&nbsp; Step1- Login to your NBFC app After selecting your Green NBFC, open the page and log in with your phone number to create your ID. You will receive an OTP to finalise your profile.&nbsp; Step2- Select Vehicle After logging in, choose the EV which you want to buy. Assuming that you are trying to finance your EV only after selecting your preference, just search for your favourite ride for which you want to sanction your loan. Step3- Digital KYC The NBFC app will further require you to perform the “Know Your Customer (KYC)” exercise. In this, you have to upload your documents such as an Aadhar Card, PAN card, Income Proof, an additional address verification document such as an electricity bill and some other family background details. Step 4- Bureau check&nbsp; Further, the app will check your CIBIL score and customise an offer for you. Step 5- Offer Generation&nbsp; Following the Bureau Check, you will be provided with a loan offer starting from Rate Of Interest(ROI) as low as 5.99%. Moreover, you will get to know the downpayment options which you can opt as per your requirements.&nbsp; Step 6- eNACH process Electronic National Automated Clearing House or eNACH is a process to verify your bank account details from which your instalments will be paid. The NBFC will first ask customers to enter their bank details and then usually sends Rs1 to the customer’s account for verification. For further authenticity, the NBFC might also ask you to upload your Digital sign and a selfie. Following the procedure and after accepting all the terms and conditions, the user can proceed to the next step. Step 7- Sanction letter- Hurray! The Loan Approved! Following the eNACH step, the NBFC institution will take a few minutes to process all the data and will provide a hand-to-hand sanction letter of loan approval. And VIOLA, We are halfway there! Step 8- Walk into your nearest showroom Now walk into your nearest showroom and show your sanction letter to the Dealer. After crosschecking all the details, submit your downpayment amount and receive a receipt for your payment.&nbsp; If you are planning to buy your ride online, then also you don’t have to worry a bit. You can contact the dealer in virtual mode and make all transactions online. In the end, you will just need the receipt of the downpayment, either hardcopy or softcopy no worries.&nbsp; Step 9-&nbsp; Submit the receipt &amp; enter personal details The downpayment receipt received from the dealer is further needed to be uploaded on NBFC’s platform. After uploading the receipt, the user is asked to enter personal information such as address proof, income proof and some other documents. Here, the same documents that you may have uploaded for the digital KYC will be needed again to move further. Step 10- UTR generation&nbsp; And just like this, your loan will be disbursed. The NBFC platform will generate a Unique Transaction Reference(UTR) as proof of loan disbursement. The customer is required to share this UTR with the dealer in order to check the completion of the transaction.&nbsp; Step 11-&nbsp; Enjoy your ride Well done! You have hit the jackpot of EV financing deals! Now roll out your brand new EV from the showroom and make your journey more beautiful than the destination! Attaboy NBFCs!&nbsp; Switching the commute trend from conventional gasoline-powered vehicles to electric counterparts is a challenging job. This transition of trend is further pushed by the government’s subsidy and EV companies' constant effort to provide a pocket-friendly product. However, the importance of credit-providing companies is often overlooked in this sector. It is for companies like Ecofy, and evfin by Greaves and many more to carry the responsibility of bridging the transition cost for EV enthusiasts. Creating a comprehensive ecosystem is very necessary to promote EV adoption in India and Green NBFCs with their optimised and cheap EV loans are an important stakeholder in the revolution. So if you are looking to finance your EV, then these NBFCs are worth checking out!

Green energy and sustainability are transforming India's energy transition and bringing in a new era focused on cutting carbon emissions and switching to cleaner, more sustainable options. Even while the country has achieved incredible progress in expanding access to energy, India must keep improving its energy infrastructure and diversifying its fuel sources if it hopes to have a truly sustainable future, a report by the Economic Times said.&nbsp; As part of India’s ambitious commitment to attain net zero emissions by 2070, the country plans to decrease its expected carbon emissions by one billion tonnes by 2030 and meet 50% of its energy demands from renewable sources. Moreover, a different approach to ensuring India's future economic and environmental prosperity is this crucial green transition in this vision. Electric vehicles (EVs) are at the forefront of this historic shift and are anticipated to be crucial in decarbonising India's transportation industry. The EV market is poised to become a ₹20 trillion business by 2030, with an anticipated 45–50% annual growth rate, solidifying its place as a key component of sustainable mobility. By the end of the decade, the government wants to electrify 70% of commercial vehicles, 30% of private automobiles, and 80% of two- and three-wheelers. To speed up the adoption of EVs, the government has started several programs, including the FAME (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles) schemes. Over 1.6 million EV purchases have already been subsidised since 2015 thanks to the recently launched ₹10,900 crore PM E-Drive subsidy scheme, which is a component of FAME's third phase. FAME 1 and FAME 2 also established the foundation for the sector. Furthermore, to solve serious issues with charging accessibility, the government has set aside ₹2,000 crores for the installation of fast chargers around the country. The Electric Mobility Promotion Scheme 2024 (EMPS 2024) intends to strengthen the EV production ecosystem and hasten the adoption of electric two- and three-wheelers in support of these activities. However, ongoing investments in workforce development, skill-building initiatives, and technology innovation are essential to the long-term success of India's EV revolution. One of the immediate challenges of the industry is to develop a qualified workforce of more than 200,000 experts by 2030, encompassing technology, manufacturing, after-sales services, and ancillary operations like charging infrastructure and maintenance. For the EV ecosystem to flourish sustainably and for India to maintain its position as a leader in the world of green energy, this skills gap must be closed.

Indian EV industry to have demand for 200,000 skilled workers: ET report

Honda has announced its intention to manufacture solid-state batteries for electric vehicles(EVs) that can double the range of EVs currently available in the market. The new technology can provide a range of up to 620 miles(1,000 kilometres) on a single charge, according to the company. If achieved, the new technology can solve the “range anxiety,” a major hurdle in EV adoption.&nbsp;&nbsp; Honda announced a demonstration production line in November for its future solid-state batteries, which the Japanese manufacturer intends to incorporate into its EVs on a mass market basis in the second half of the decade. President and representative director of Honda R&amp;D, Keiji Otsu, said in a statement, "The all-solid-state battery is an innovative technology that will be a game changer in this EV era. Replacing engines that have been supporting the advancements of automobiles to date, batteries will be the key factor of electrification," Live Science reported. Compared to the liquid lithium-ion batteries featured in modern EVs, these solid-state batteries are anticipated to be 25% less expensive to build, 50% smaller, and 35% lighter. However, Honda's solid-state cells are too small to be utilised in any of the company's current vehicle models, which is the main obstacle to the technology. Beginning in 2025, the new facility aims to address that issue.

As the world continues to investigate and develop new EV battery technologies to improve electric vehicles, the Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) in South Korea has claimed to develop a battery which can extinguish fire on its own while continuing its function even after 1,000 charging cycles, HT Auto reported. The all-new lithium metal battery uses a triple-layer solid polymer electrolyte to provide extra protection against fire. However, it is yet to be clarified when this technology will get into commercial space. In the field of EV battery technology, the DGIST's lithium battery for electric vehicles may transition the existing Industry into a new age. In conventional solid polymer electrolyte battery packs, lithium-ion creates tiny tree-like structures called dendrites when the battery is being charged and discharged. These dendrites can weaken a battery's internal connections, greatly raising the possibility of explosions and fires. For lithium battery packs to reach their full potential, this risk factor has proven crucial. The innovative triple-layer electrolyte engineering of the new battery is intended to improve performance and structural and thermal safety, according to DGIST. This battery features a solid central layer that enhances the battery's structural integrity and guards against thermal issues like fire, while the soft outside layers guarantee optimal contact with the electrodes. Decabromodiphenyl ethane, a fire suppressant, is present in high concentrations together with zeolite and lithium salt. The total strength of the battery pack is said to be strengthened by this. Additionally, the DGIST asserts that this battery pack retains a sizable amount of power even after numerous charging cycles, in addition to improving fire safety. The battery is said to retrain 87.9% of its power after 1,000 cycles of charging and draining. The majority of the batteries used in the current generation of EVs lose 20–30% of their capacity during the same number of charging cycles, therefore this is yet another major advancement in battery technology.

Bhavish Aggarwal, the chairman and managing director of Ola Electric, stated on Saturday, that the company is working on something really exciting which will be revealed this week. On X, Aggarwal said, “Working on something very exciting! Announcement in the coming week!” This comes after Aggarwal previously discussed Ola Electric's ambitious aspirations to produce lithium-ion cells in the country. He stated in a July interview with CNBC-TV18 that the company is preparing to incorporate its domestically produced cells into its EVs by the beginning of the following year. He proposed that EVs would become more economical if they integrated their own cells. "So far, we have not even brought our own cells into the picture, which will be a core anchor to improve the cost of our EVs," citing Aggarwal CNBC-TV18 reported. The company has been making investments in cells as it thinks that the development of core technology in India is essential to the future of EVs in that country. “For the electric industry, we must construct lithium cells in India," he continued. A key component of this effort is Ola Electric's Gigafactory, which is led by seasoned battery manufacturer Hyun Shik Park. Park, who formerly worked for South Korea's LG for more than 36 years, is in charge of the facility's mass cell production. The Gigafactory's strategic importance was highlighted by the fact that Park received the largest remuneration package in the firm during the previous fiscal year.

Skoda has officially announced to launch its budget-friendly EV anytime soon. The all-new vehicle is expected to come in Kushaq size which will be manufactured in the company’s Aurangabad factory. According to a report by Carwale, the automaker is waiting for the CAFE 3 norms and the central government’s clarification on EV taxation policies. The company has underlined the importance of deep localisation to offer a budget EV in the competitive market of India. Moreover, the current market size also needs to increase, the report added. While this locally manufactured EV will arrive in India after 2027, the company’s initial foray into the EV category will be with the Enyaq and Elroq SUVs. The latter was just introduced, while the former, which will be available in India, will be updated in March 2025. Both cars will be delivered via the CBU route at launch, but if there is sufficient demand, they may be produced locally. The reason for the upcoming EV to be Kushaq-size is that at the time of the launch, the SUV will be a brand-new car with two-row and three-row choices As a result, it is anticipated that Skoda will design the EV more like the new car than the present one. In addition to these reasons, the market is expected to move further towards bigger cars with new competition among Toyota, Mahindra, Maruti Suzuki, Honda, Kia and Hyundai.

Official teasers for <a href="https://evindia.online/electric-vehicle-companies/ather-energy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Ather Energy</a>'s next family-friendly <a href="https://evindia.online/electric-scooters" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">electric scooter</a> have been released. The company has planned to launch the vehicle at ACDC 24 - Ather Community Day Celebration 2024, according to the tweet by Tarun Mehta, CEO of Ather. Breaking the news, the CEO stated “With Rizta, we will be taking a big leap in comfort and safety. Our teams have been working on this for a while (this one has been on and off the table since 2019!) now and have pulled off some amazing integrations that are industry-first and will make your ride experience way better.” The Ather Rizta which has been seen in testing before is going to have a flat apron, much like the test mule. In comparison to the current 450 range, its side panels have very few cuts and wrinkles. Inside the front panel, its LED lamp is integrated horizontally. The format of the taillight is also the same. The next Ather Rizta is expected to have a larger floorboard space than the 450X. The Ather Rizta is anticipated to take inspiration from the 450 bloodline for its features, motor, and batteries. For comparison, Ather provides a 2.9kWh battery for the 450S and two different battery options (2.9kWh and 3.7kWh) for the 450X. The maximum speed for both variants is 90 kmph. But the 450S has a range of just 115 km, while the 450X 2.9kWh and 450X 3.7kWh have a range of 111 km and 150 km, respectively. Additionally, the Ather Rizta should receive the 450S's Deep View display. This will assist Ather in controlling the expenses. In addition, the next Ather EV could have a smartphone connection, numerous screen readouts, and riding modes. Ather might charge around Rs. 1.35 lakh (ex-showroom) for the Rizta electric scooter. It will compete with the TVS iQube line.

<a href="https://evindia.online/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent;">Electric Vehicles</a> are frequently seen as the main platform for decarbonizing road transport. But one of the main issues is how to deal with electric vehicle recycling or end-of-life options. While there are many startups in the new product sector, the recycling sector hasn't gained much traction. Countering this challenge, <a href="https://www.attero.in/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent;">Attero Recycling</a> is placing its biggest wager on precisely this market. The company's ability to recycle 3,500 tonnes at the moment is being increased to 6,000 tonnes annually. Additionally, it recently put into operation a new plant in Telangana, increasing its capacity there by 12,000 to 13,000 tonnes. Millions of lithium-ion batteries must be recycled properly to avoid a large amount of hazardous waste being discarded in an untreated way, therefore, this still represents a tiny portion of the enormous worldwide demands. "The majority of our clients are located outside of India. Therefore, cobalt, lithium graphite, and nickel have applications besides batteries. Nickel has many uses, graphite is used in India, cobalt is used in the steel industry and speciality chemical industries, and lithium carbonate is used in the pharmaceutical industry and speciality chemical industries, nickel has multiple uses, and there are other prior factors as well, especially in the form of graphite anodes and electrodes”, Nitin Gupta, CEO &amp; Co-Founder of Attero Recycling stated. Regarding investment, Gupta emphasised that Attero is a successful business that is on course to generate revenues of Rs 600 crore and continue to expand. "We are always attempting to determine the optimum route of capital allocation for the business and the project. We constantly raise both debt and equity and at the moment we are also in the process of finalising an equity round. However, he remained mum on the precise figure. <h2>Expansion and Poland plant</h2> The <a href="https://evindia.online/scooter" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent;">two</a>- and <a href="https://evindia.online/vehicles?type=4" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent;">three-wheeler</a> sectors now account for the majority of electric vehicle sales in India, but the four-wheeler segment is anticipated to catch up quickly. Thanks to a flurry of launches and new electric versions or mass-market model releases by Indian and international OEMs. The volume of investments made by both established and emerging competitors in the lithium-ion battery market also implies that Attero Recycling won't have to rely only on foreign sourcing. According to Gupta, his business uses technology which is modular and would establish at least 5 facilities in India over the next three years. He said, "Attero has great intentions for its Polish factory. We have a fully-owned subsidiary in Europe. Environmental permit applications are now being processed, and the plant's location has been decided. We anticipate starting up the Polish factory this year. Indian players The majority of Indian businesses now import lithium-ion cells since there are no significant producers in India. However, as players like Exide, Amara Raja Group, Tata Group, Log9 Materials, Godi Energy, and Ola Electric, among others are planning to set up their plants, their activity has recently increased. This indicates that once lithium-ion cell production begins in India, there will also be a significant amount of trash, which will serve as a new supply source for Attero Recycling. Gupta said, "There is no Indian business involved in cell production, but we are in contact with all the Indian players. The cost of lithium is another factor that has not decreased as anticipated. According to Gupta, if one looks at the price of lithium, it has climbed more than ten times and decreased by 10% in recent months. "There is no equivalent. More accurately, it's an increase of 1,000% and a fall of 10%. Currently, 99 per cent of the materials can be recovered by Attero Recycling, and even the remaining 1 per cent is recovered over time. "Over the next three years, we want to increase our recycling output to the point where it can fulfil at least 10% of the global demand for cobalt, lithium, and graphite. Due to the fact that mining is a very dangerous industry everywhere in the world, we have had a huge influence in terms of sustainability. The graphite we generate at Attero has a 20 times smaller carbon footprint than graphite originating from China from the standpoint of carbon footprint reduction or carbon neutrality, said Gupta.
