  • Electric Vehicles have existed for more than a century.

    Electric vehicles are widely perceived to be a phenomenon which has recently grown but it is a story which starts many years before the onset of the superpower of electric vehicles which is Tesla. William Morrison who is believed to be the eccentric chemist had been working on an electric carriage long before the 1900s and he did it in his secret basement which he called Cave. The vehicle may not be a competitor to the kind of technological advancement we currently have but it was certainly an inspiration for many a scientist who has been researching on bringing the carbon footprint of the country down. Electric cars history suggests in 1900s were a golden period for the EVs as over one third of the vehicles which were built were electric ones. The problem then however was the slow speed of the vehicle and the heavy batteries and the mass-produced Model T of Ford which had been dealing serious haymakers to the industry of electric vehicles.

    Ford was the pioneer of creating petrol powered vehicles and making them affordable for the buyers. The US had a better infrastructure than most other economies and the growth of Texas Crude oil gave rise to some of the biggest innovations of the country in terms of vehicles. Rural Americans found it easy to get to petrol and found it really cheap as well.

    The growth has been based on the electric vehicle need due to the carbon neutral need as the climate change has taken place with environment taking a battering due to the petrol based carbon emissions. Electric vehicles are offering a hope to grow the countries towards a carbon neutral future which could be more sustainable than the one that we are currently looking at. The growth is expected to further take place with investment by the governments.

  • Electric vehicle Charging not going to affect the grid supply or systems.

    An increase in the electric vehicle sales maybe lead to the electric vehicle cost being lowered for every customer. Electric vehicle charging has been a topic of discussion in the recent past. As per a study, it was shown that the Electric Vehicle users do not receive subsidies from the customers and that in actuality is going to drive the price down.

    Overall, the Electric vehicle consumers have been providing over $1.87 billion in terms of net revenue to the customers’ utility between the year 2012 and the year 2021 in three of the utility services which are based in the United States.

    For avoiding the effects of the climate change and the protection of public health, the transportation sector needs to be completely restructured. The transport sector has been among the largest sources of the world of global warming pollution and a big source of the harmful local pollution in the air. To put it simply, there is a need for a broader adoption of the electric vehicles like trucks, buses and cars etc. which get powered by the electricity. This is a grid which is already clean enough that the Electric Vehicles cut the emissions at an enormous level but it is increasingly based on the sources which are emission-free like solar and wind.

    There is a common misconception that the Electric vehicle charging is going to strain the system of electricity and need require any expensive upgrades which might raise the prices of electricity. However, the opposite is visible in the world as per studies where electricity is able to charge when people are sleep and there is a lot of electricity still present when the electricity is used. So electric vehicle charging infrastructure has not been hampering the electric vehicle system in any form at all and the common misconception should be done away with for the use of electricity.

  • General Motors optimistic about the electric vehicle future

    Issues and concerns with regard to affordability and charging have held consumers back from converting to the battery electric vehicles. Making this switch between the ICE cars and the tracks to the ones which are battery powered electric vehicles is a huge choice for the customers who are willing to cling on to the convenience and familiarity of going to a fuel station for refueling. General Motors doesn’t think this is a phenomenon which will last for too long.

    However in a session with the reporters this Thursday during a meeting, the Chairperson of General Motors Mary Barra said that she is not going to agree with the concept that the drivers are going to resist giving up the fueling for a recharge of the battery. She said that maybe a small fraction may be doing so but there will be a lot of forces which are going to encourage people to take up the electric vehicles.

    The reasons according to her are the fact that the cars are a great fun to drive and says out of her personal experience that not going to a gas station can become really addictive very quickly. The challenge is going to not be mainstream for very long.

    As of now, there are not many who are holding out. The sales of the electric vehicles thus far are not great but she does expect it to pick up soon. The third quarter however showed that the sale numbers of the electric vehicle were just 5% of what the total vehicle sales were in the United States.

    The trend is however picking up as the number of dealerships have considerably increased in the last few years. That is a great sign for the company and the overall economy of electric vehicles as the world gradually adopts to it.

  • Sun Mobility to increase motor electric vehicle charging infrastructure by three times.

    Sun Mobility has been a game changer when it comes to the battery charging infrastructure of the motor electric vehicle. This is critical as it is helping the Indian government in helping cope with the problems of the climate change and help in ringing in changes for the transition of the country from traditional fuel to the electric vehicle model which is going to be the future of this industry.

    The company is a universal provider of energy infrastructure and has an aim of powering close to 1 million Electric Vehicles. The services of the company use the lithium-ion battery technology which straight forward is going to provide a longer charger time. The Sun mobility has been launching a battery-swapping network for building the EV battery of India. The company is a joint venture between the Sun Group and Maini Group. This is a partnership which is going to diversify the engineering powerhouse providing solutions for the electric mobility for the campuses. This is going to help India in competing with the Electric Vehicle Europe.

    The environmental problems electric vehical are solving in the country are going to help in the growth of the Electric Vehicle market. The expanded network of the company which had come up with the first electric car of the country, Reva is going to aim at doing close to 30,000 swaps in a day by the next year in comparison to the 11000 which it is currently doing. This is a news which has come to the fore after a new factory has been opened up in Bengaluru. Among the new stations, majority are going to be in the capital city of Delhi followed by Bengaluru.

    The company is going to offer an entire eco-system which is going to include the swappable batteries and the swapping stations for the e-rickshaws and two-wheelers.
