Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Betting n Swappable Batteries

Extract from the article:

 

The article highlights the significant potential of the Battery as a Service (BaaS) model, particularly for fleet operators in the electric vehicle (EV) industry.

 

It underlines the importance of addressing the high battery costs that have been a major obstacle hindering the widespread adoption of EVs.

 

The introduction of innovative business models, such as BaaS, presents a promising solution to make EVs more financially viable for both businesses and consumers.

 

By decoupling the battery cost from the electric vehicles, these new models aim to revolutionize the market and drive the mass adoption of environmentally friendly transportation solutions.

My Take:

 

More than one Solution.. 28  Apr  2017

 

 

In my previous blog, I discussed the idea of selling electric vehicles without batteries by implementing a leasing system for batteries.

 

This concept aligns well with the current focus on the BaaS model discussed in the internet article. By offering accessible options for swapping discharged batteries, the leasing model can significantly reduce the upfront costs of EVs, making them a more attractive option for fleet operators.

 

It is intriguing to see how the industry is evolving to address the challenges I had highlighted years ago, emphasizing the importance of innovative business strategies in driving sustainability efforts forward.

 

Electric Solar Hybrid Oven : Reliance New Energy Marketing Strategy .. .. 06 Oct 2023

Extract :

Apparently , Reliance is targeting its SWAPPABLE BATTERIES for this 2 W – 3W EV segment of EV market

I am sure , following facts have not escaped the notice of Anant Ambani ( - the new boss of Reliance New Energy initiative ) :

Ø  A slightly modified version of this SWAPPABLE BATTERY can be used to supply electric power to a DC Electric Cooker , lying on the Kitchen platform

Ø  Using this “ Electric Cooker + Swappable Battery System “, a household can replace its current “ Gas Cooker + LPG Cylinder System 

Ø  That market is India’s 250 Million households !

Ø  If targeted to cover in 4 Years , this will save Central Government, Rs 75,000 Cr of Foreign Exchange ,

    currently being spent ANNUALLY on import of LPG

Ø  A DC Electric Cooker ( with inverter ) can be manufactured and sold for ( say ) Rs 5,000

Ø  Reliance New Energy can sell such Electric Cookers on a “ hire purchase “ Scheme ( 12 EMI )

Ø  Reliance can sell these through its vast network of 18,500 Reliance Retail stores serving 267 million customers

Ø  Same stores can also deliver to the household , a SWAPPABLE BATTERY ( monthly / yearly contract )

 

 

Call to Action:

To the policymakers and industry leaders mentioned in the article, I urge you to further explore and implement the BaaS model to accelerate the shift towards sustainable transportation solutions.

 

By leveraging battery decoupling strategies, we can not only make EVs more affordable but also pave the way for a more environmentally conscious future.

 

Let's collaborate and invest in business models that prioritize innovation and efficiency to make a lasting impact on the EV market and beyond.
