For daring to demonstrate to the Goliaths of Indian
Auto Industry that :
Ø EV
, mounted with Solar panels on its roof ( charging a small Li-ion battery ), is
THE only appropriate approach for India with 300 days of bright sun-shine in a
year
Ø In
our traffic-congested cities, neither speed ( of more than 30 km/hr ) nor range
( of more than 60 km for an office round-trip ), is necessary for 95 % of the trips
Ø A
small Li-ion battery can be charged at home ( at night ) , if required
Ø If
driving under sun can charge the Li-ion battery continuously, there will be
hardly any need for roadside battery charging stations – resulting in huge savings
of infrastructure
Ø Investments
in Li-ion Battery manufacturing plants can substantially go down
Ø Selling
prices of EVs can drastically go down ( may be , even lower than Petrol/Diesel
vehicles )
Ø Retro-fitting
of existing petrol / diesel vehicles ( 230 + million ), can give birth to a new
industry, generating millions of jobs
And here are the details of “ Dilip – the – David’s “ dare
to Auto Industry Goliaths :
Extract :
Ø
To that end, he purchased Mahindra’s e2o electric car for Rs 10
lakh to convert it into solar-run car. He worked on it for a year but the
experiment failed.
Ø
Instead of giving up, Chitre applied new methods to a second-hand
van that cost him Rs 5 lakh.
Ø
He replaced the engine with a 48 volt battery, a DC motor, gear
box, charge controller and an electronic accelerator.
Ø
He installed a speed regulator and installed solar
panels with a capacity of 400 watts on the roof of the car.
Ø
The battery
stores the electricity generated from the solar panels and sends it to the
motor where it gets converted into mechanical energy with the help of the
gearbox. As for charging the battery, he has had to recharge it only twice in
eight months.
Ø
Chitre is only one of the many people who are striving towards
pollution-free vehicles, but many of these experiments fail to take off due to lack
of resources and support.
Ø
We hope organizations working in the field come forward and
support such brilliant ideas.

I urge you to reach out to Shri Chitre and offer to him
all the support that he needs to commercialize his innovation
Eliminating emission-pollution of our
existing 230 million petrol / diesel vehicles is as important – if not more –
than Mars Orbital Mission / Chandrayan – 2
=======================
Dear Shri Chitre,
While wishing you all success in your venture, I am
taking the liberty to plead your case with Policy Makers ( by sending this as
email ) , with the hope that Shri
Nitin Gadkariji will come forward to push your idea further
With regards,
