How
charging points are ringing in an Electric Vehicle Revolution /
Business Line / 21 May 2021
Extract :
Ø India
will soon be able to benefit from an innovative low-cost Electric Vehicle
(EV) charge point that can accelerate the adoption of electric 2-wheelers and
3-wheelers.
Ø Focus
on cost-innovation means that a target price of less than ₹3,500
(about $50) for a smart AC charge point operated
with a smartphone
Ø The
forthcoming standard offers a highly public-access oriented, smartphone-enabled charge point,
supported by e-payment and analytics
Ø Yet,
this low-cost device still had to offer two key functions :
# On the one hand, it needed to be an easily
accessible system, which means one must be able to
Walk up to any charge
point anywhere and access it. The proposed device, with its environment
protection and in-built
energy metering system will offer communication to the user’s smart-phone via
low- power Bluetooth and connect via the smart-phone to the back end
for,
# Remote authentication,
# User identification,
# Billing
for energy drawn and
# Linkage to a payment e-wallet.
# On the other hand, the device may be
installed wherever a 15-amp, 220-volt outlet may be
supported
> The users will typically be
electric 2-wheeler owners who could even set up this unit in their
apartment,..
This standardised charging socket can help tide over that problem,
because it can be
metered and charged based
on usage
Ø Other
public places like malls, offices and parking lots can similarly be set up with these charging units. City
Corporations and Smart City initiatives are in the process of setting up parking structures
where these can go up.
Ø Even Kirana
store owners can install one and use their smartphone to help deliver
charge to those that just want a small top-up.
Ø For
activating the charging device, the user ,
# simply opens up the
compatible account,
# walks up to the device and
# scans a QR code,
# the charging device then communicates with the phone.
Ø After
the digital handshake, there is a communication with the back-end using
the phone’s GPRS or Wi-Fi to verify the identity of the person, the amount of
money in the payment wallet etc.
Ø Based
on,
# the amount of charge requested
and
# the balance in the account,
- the device can meter and control the
delivery of electrical charge for the EV. A very intelligent way of
metering the power has also been patented by the committee.
Ø Given how expensive a smart-meter can get, and
given the cost targets that had been set, the group had to develop an algorithmic
metering chip inside this device. It also ensures universal
operability, since all a user will need is a standard 15-Amp line.
Ø Yet,
it also enables the Discom to use the back-end to turn off or turn on the
tap anytime if a misuse of the device is detected.
Ø Of
course, after a large network of these chargers are installed and with the
expansion of the user base, it will generate a mountain of data in the
back end.
Ø Analytics of
this kind of data is becoming extremely valuable for users who
may want to optimise their charging cycles, and for Discoms who
may want to capitalise on usage patterns and rationalise peak loads etc.
===================================================
MY TAKE :
Ø Finally,
we can expect a BREAK-THROUGH in rapid adoption of EV 2-wheelers , for which,
FAME II has provided subsidy as follows :
Rs 20,000 – Rs 40,000 (
For max 2-wheeler price of Rs 1.5 Lakh )
Ø But
this subsidy has failed to achieve the targets set for EV 2-wheelers
Ø While
continuing with FAME II, I strongly urge the Govt to consider giving CARBON
CREDITS to EV 2-Wheelers, which use the
above-mentioned CHARGING DEVICE
Ø Govt
may consider options of a EV 2-Wheeler Owner en-cashing his Carbon Credits or
trading it on a CARBON CREDIT EXCHANGE . This will prove to be a powerful
INCENTIVE for adoption of EV 2 Wheelers
Ø My
earlier suggestions re: CARBON
CREDIT are as follows :
===================================================

Yourself Obsolete ? ………….[ 14 Feb 2016 ]
Extract :
For
taxis / rickshaws running on Hybrid fuel ( producing less Co2 ) or Electric Vehicles ( zero emission ) ,
both,
the driver and the passenger will get " Carbon Credits " , which will also get
displayed on the
DigiMet
as also on the FareCalc Mobile App on the smart phone
of the passenger ( @ 20 % of the fare
payable
? )
These
amounts will get transferred to their respective Jan Dhan Bank Accounts ( thru
DTB ) , every quarter
===================================================
Source : PIYUSH PLAN
? ………………………………..[ 27 Mar

Extract :
Based
on car specifications / assumed average monthly usage etc , figure out
and fix
* " Carbon Credits "
for each model of electric car manufactured
* Based on Carbon
Credits earned , calculate Direct Transfer of Benefit ( DTB ) to electric car
manufacturers based on monthly
dispatches of each model and then transfer
these amounts from EVFF ,
as incentives to manufacturers
===================================================

Scrapping Policy ……………………………….[ 03 Feb 2021 ]
Extract :
If govt
does not have money for paying INCENTIVE, will it consider motivating old-car
owners by crediting into
their
JAN DHAN Accounts certain number of CARBON CREDITS ( like crypto-currency ? ) and launch VEHICLE
CARBON CREDIT TRADING EXCHANGE ?
The number of Carbon
Credit will depend upon Age/type of OLD car and those of REPLACEMENT car

Extract :
Each
such appliance MUST be pre-installed / integrated with SENSORS which will continuously monitor
its,
# State
of Usage ( ON or OFF )
# Rate
of Consumption of electricity ( Units )
These INTERNET-CONNECTED appliances will
continuously relay / transmit these data to the SMART ELECTRIC METER installed
in each home
In turn, each SMART METER
will relay / transmit to concerned DISCOM ( and to any other specified govt
agency servers ), such usage / consumption data,
through Internet ( IoT / Internet of Everything ).
These data-transfer will
be separate for EACH INDIVIDUAL
APPLIANCE
This will enable DISCOM /
concerned Agencies, to know / monitor, IN-EFFICIENT appliances,
operating above the CERTIFIED THRESHOLD for each type of appliance
Appliances operating “
above “ the threshold, will be assigned / allotted “ CARBON DEBITS “ , whereas those operating “ below “ the threshold, will
be assigned “ CARBON CREDITS “
If the NET of these two
is POSITIVE ( + ), that home will be incentivized by a lower tariff – and
vice-versa
This
scheme will enable us to take the CARBON MARKET / CARBON CREDIT /
CARBON FINANCE concept, right inside our 290 MILLION households !

But,
Google might compute each
vehicle’s CARBON FOOTPRINT / CARBON CREDIT-DEBIT and if so
desired by your Ministry, for each vehicle, relay this data to the server
of your Ministry, to automatically deduct TRANS - TAX , from each
vehicle on a daily basis

WHAT USER DATA
CAN EV-CHARGER DEVICE COLLECT / TRANSMIT TO THE CENTRAL SERVER DATABASE ?
( Every EV Charging Device will use SAME / CENTRAL ,
mobile app )
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is my guess ( a partial list ) :
Name of EV 2 wheeler owner
Ø Mobile
No / Address / Gendre / Aadhar No / E mail ID / Postal Address / Birth date
Ø Registration
Data of 2 wheeler ( Make-Model-Year-capacity-Price-Location-Dealer Details- Tax
paid etc )
Ø E
wallet Details / Monthly Usage details
Ø Date
of each Charge with Charger-location details
Ø Amount
of each charge / amount of payment collected
Ø Km
run ( Between charges / total for each month / average daily usage )
Ø Details
of change of ownership / city location
Ø Time
spent for each charge / ave. time per charge / charging efficiency
Ø No
of persons riding the 2 wheeler ?
Ø No
of traffic offenses ( crossing red light / exceeding speed limit / honking etc
) and challans outstanding
I believe, all of the
above-mentioned data can be easily collected automatically, by embedding a set
of SENSORS into the 2 Wheelers, as described at :
