EV CHARGING VEHICLE IN
INDIA
India and electric vehicles future:-
The
Indian government has set ambitious targets to accelerate the adoption of
electric vehicles (EVs). By 2023, it wants all three-wheelers to run on batteries. By
2025, the rule will be applicable to most two wheelers. Incentives are also being offered to
make carmakers develop new EV models and manufacturing components such as
lithium-ion batteries and electric motors.
Challenges
for the Govt :-
The most important, perhaps, is the
need for strong policies. “India has a problem with policymaking, and there is a
big question marks that either all are ready for that although there are
several benefits of using EV Vehicles.
There are a number of great benefits to electric vehicles (EVs)
over conventional petrol/diesel cars:-
Cheaper to run
Owners of an EV have the advantage of much lower running costs.
The electricity to charge an EV works out around a third as
much per kilometre as buying petrol for the same vehicle1.
Cheaper to maintain
A battery electric vehicle (BEV) has a lot
less moving parts than a conventional petrol/diesel car. There are relatively
little servicing and no expensive exhaust systems, starter motors, fuel
injection systems, radiators and many other parts that aren’t needed in an EV.
Batteries do wear out so replacement batteries will eventually
be needed. Most car manufacturers warrant EV batteries for around 8 years.
Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) have
a petrol engine that needs regular servicing so cost more to maintain. However,
because the electrical motor requires little maintenance due to far fewer
moving parts, this leads to less wear and tear of the petrol engine components3.
Better for the environment
Less pollution: By choosing to
drive an EV you are helping to reduce harmful air pollution from exhaust
emissions. An EV has zero exhaust emissions5.
Renewable energy: If you use renewable energy to recharge your
EV, you can reduce your greenhouse gas emissions even further. You
could recharge your EV from your solar PV system during the day instead of from
the grid. Another idea is to purchase GreenPower from
your electricity retailer. Then, even if you recharge your EV from the grid,
your greenhouse gas emissions are reduced.
Eco-friendly materials: There is also a trend towards more eco-friendly production
and materials for EVs. The Ford Focus Electric is made up of recycled materials
and the padding is made out of bio based materials. The Nissan Leaf’s interior
and bodywork are partly made out of green materials such as recycled water
bottles, plastic bags, old car parts and even second hand home appliances6.
Health benefits
Reduced harmful exhaust emissions is good news for our health.
Better air quality will lead to less health problems and costs caused by air
pollution. EVs are also quieter than petrol/diesel vehicles, which mean less
noise pollution.
Safety improvements
Recent findings have shown that several EV features can improve
safety. EVs tend to have a lower centre of gravity that makes them less likely
to roll over. They can also have a lower risk for major fires or explosions and
the body construction and durability of EVs may make them safer in a collision7.

Tata Nexon EV Motor
Powering
the Nexon electric vehicle is a 3-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor
developing 129 PS and 245 Nm of peak torque. The motor comes mated to an
automatic transmission. You can operate the EV either in the Drive mode or the
Sport mode.
Tata Nexon EV Battery
The
new Nexon electric vehicle is equipped with a 30.2 kWh li-ion battery. Tata
Motors claims that the battery is IP67 certified and has been tested for over
one million km.
Tata Nexon EV Battery Warranty
There
is a warranty of eight years or 1.60 lakh km on the battery of the Nexon
electric vehicle.
Tata Nexon EV Charge
Through
a regular charger (any 15 AMP plug point), you can fully charge the Nexon from
20 per cent in eight hours. A fast charger (CCS 2) will take 60 minutes to
juice up the battery up to 80 per cent.
Tata Nexon EV Safety Features
So
far as safety features are concerned, the Nexon electric vehicle gets dual
airbags, ABS (anti-lock braking system) with EBD (electronic brake
distribution) and CSC (cornering stability control). The EV complies with the
latest full frontal, side impact and offset impact crash regulations.
Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla has been planning to launch the Tesla Models in India. He even tweeted it last year about
it. But then it’s been delayed because of FDI policies.
Though our government gave clarity for
Elon’s tweet, it didn’t seem to be justifying it.
Recently, the FDI policies have
been revised, and it clearly mentions that “Sourcing norms will not be
applicable up to three years from the commencement of the business, ie,
opening the first store for entities undertaking single-brand retail trading of
products.” – Department of Industrial Policy and
Promotion (DIPP) FDI Policy.
This might open up the possibility of importing Tesla cars to India and sold
directly without any reseller. If this happens, then it would create a new
revolution in the Indian automobile industry as the Tesla cars have already
proven to be robust, safe and luxurious cars in other markets. These cars come
with high mileage and can attain greater speeds which none of the other
companies EVs can even come close. Their autopilot system is one of the
intelligent driving systems in cars, and there were many instances that they even saved
the drivers & passengers life.
