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?"

Birth of a New Industry ?







===================

Extract :

With India striving to create an ecosystem to encourage adoption of electric mobility, the latest step is expected reduce its upfront cost, as compared to internal combustion engine (ICE) fitted vehicles. Battery in an EV accounts for 30-40% of its cost.


Currently, host of new entrants, both domestic and foreign, are working on creating an ecosystem of swappable batteries such as ,


Ø  Chetan Maini-led Sun Mobility,

Ø  Gurgaon-based Exicom Power Solutions and

Ø  22 Kymco, an alliance between startup Twenty Two Motors Pvt. Ltd and Taiwan’s Kymco Global

=======================================================

Context :

Re-defining Retail : Maini and Mukesh  ……………………………………….. [ 30 Oct 2018 ]


Extract :

This intelligence is what Maini hopes would give Sun Mobility an advantage.


The company would,


·         know the state of every battery in real time

·         what the users did with it

·         whether they were used properly or not

·         If they dropped the battery, the network
          would sense it


·         If the performance declined due to high
          temperature, the network would sense that,
          too

·         All the batteries and the entire distribution
          infrastructure, will be smart, relaying back
          business-sensitive information to a central 
          grid.

·         The data will eventually allow the company
          to PREDICT which kiosk will need battery
          refills, at what time , allowing for a seamless
          and glitch-free operation

Reason Shri Nitin Gadkariji must be admired is :

He has no hesitation to admit that he was wrong . He wastes no time to change the policy


Here is the proof :
NITI proposes : NITIN disposes …………………………………………………………….[ 20 Nov 2017 ]

Extract :

Ø  Road transport and highways minister Nitin Gadkari has said official think tank NITI Aayog’s battery swapping policy for accelerated adoption of electric and shared vehicles is not viable and hence wouldn’t work.


Ø  “The battery swapping policy I feel is not appropriate for the country because it is a very difficult thing,” the minister said at the Smart Mobility Conference organised by industry association FICCI on Monday.

================================================================================
This is a welcome step – among many other steps which still remain before we can start controlling :

Ø  Pollution – and annual 12 lakh premature deaths being caused in India due to Air Pollution , largely due to emissions from Petrol – Diesel vehicles

Ø  Our horrible Traffic Jams ( caused by 230 million Petrol – Diesel vehicles )


Those “ Other Steps “ are described in my following E Mail :
