For Electric Vehicles , holy grail is : No need for any
Battery Charging stations !
World over, auto companies are coming out with EV which
depend upon heavy and expensive Lithium-ion Batteries , which require ,
anywhere between 3 hours to 6 hours for re-charging , after running for 200 –
400 km
In turn , that requires setting up a massive
infrastructure of thousands of Battery Charging Stations , all over the country
. Currently , India has some 60,000 Petrol – Diesel filling pumps , which can
fill up your car tank in less than 5 minutes !
If it takes 200 minutes to re-charge a Lithium-ion
battery , how many re-charge stations will be required ? – even assuming that a
car owner does not mind waiting at the battery charging station for 3 / 4 hours
!
So , the “ Holy Grail “
( 5G ? ) for
electric vehicles boils down to the following options , none of which need a Battery Charging Station :
ISRO technology
This consists of a very small Lithium-ion Battery ( 5
Kw ) , continuously being charged through its Solar Panel Roof top . ISRO demonstrated this in May 2017 but
strangely no body talks about it !

Stotes-Dot
Technology
The three-year old Israeli startup, named StoreDot,
is working on a prototype EV battery that can charge in as few as FIVE MINUTES , and provide 300 miles of
driving range.
StoreDot’s “ FlashBattery ” technology is based on proprietary inorganic compounds and
a hybrid multifunction electrode (MFE) and promises a theoretical “instant”
charge for smart phones and electric vehicles.
“If this chemistry works as we
show, there’s no reason we couldn’t charge
a car in FIVE MINUTES ,” says CEO / Founder of StoreDot ,
Doron Myersdorf.
Aluminium Battery ( Metal Air Battery )
From web
site of Phinergy :
Phinergy’s
air-electrode technology has enabled it to master the metal-air reaction
process and develop an aluminium-air system with a lifespan of thousands of
working hours, relieving the main constraints of electric transportation and
clean distributed generation.

=================================
If
Indian auto industry can get together to develop / commercialize , one or more
of the above mentioned “ Battery Innovations “ , it can leapfrog the EV
manufacturers all over the world . India
may even succeed in exporting EVs all over the World !
Dear Shri
Gadkariji,
Current
investment in the existing 60,000 Petrol-Diesel pumps is Rs 6.5 lakh*crores
If 30
times more Battery Charging Stations are needed, then that could cost Rs 195
lakh*crore !
So, how
about allocating Rs 300 crores as done by the Department of Telecommunications
to develop 5G technology , as explained in the following news report :
More
than 200 researchers, students and teachers from across five Indian Institutes
of Technology have joined forces over a Rs 300-crore project to develop 5G
technology and its use cases in India.
The department of telecommunications-backed project, being billed as the biggest collaborative effort between these institutes, will aim to develop a comprehensive test-bed for 5G that can be used by technology companies, telecom operators, academics and start-ups for R&D purposes and developing 5G products and solutions.
The
project has the government’s full backing—Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had
said in his Budget speech that the telecom department will support a 5G
technology test-bed that will be anchored out of IIT Madras and whose roll
could be expected in 2020, in line with global roll outs.
The
institute will also help in the overall testing and integration of all
sub-system modules and the demonstration of the complete functionality of the final
test-bed.

Why cannot we do something similar for Auto Industry ,
which must switch over to Electric Vehicles by 2030 ?
