Government Plans To Give Sops of Rs. 9400 Crore To Push The Sale Of Eco Friendly Vehicles.

According to TOI report , As a part of a Rs.9400 crore package for hybrid and electric vehicles, Government plans to give sops of more than 9k crore to push the sale of eco friendly vehicles. As a part of Rs, 9400 crore package towards electric and hybrid cars the government may offer incentive of upto 2.5 lakh to those who switch to electric vehicles by scrapping their old petrol or diesel powered vehicles. Along with this, there is a sops for investment in manufacturing of motors parts in country also. Government is all set to give incentives for different electric vehicles categories. A draft policy formulated by the government has proposed that the buyer of 2- wheeler electric vehicle that cost upto Rs.1.5 lakh will receive incentive of around Rs.30,000. Apart from that their is a incentives for Car aggregator and Bus fleet owner also, those who buys electric car as a taxi are expected to get a incentive of around Rs.1.5 to 2.5 lakh for the vehicle that cost upto Rs.15 lakh, also the same incentive is are available for individual buyers of electric cars who scrap their pre BS III vehicles and get a certificate from approved scraping centre told TOI. It is expected that, in a next 5 years government will give a incentive of around 1,500 crore for passenger vehicle and two- wheelers and around Rs.1,000 crore is planned to spend on setting up charging stations across the country. According to the proposed proposal by Department Of Heavy Industry, at least one charging station is planning to be installed at every 9 sq.km in all Metros, Big cities and identified Smart cities and also charging stations is expected to install on both side of the highways at every 25 km. Charging stations is planned to install along Delhi, Chandigarh, Chennai, Bangalore and Mumbai- Pune stretches. One of the major focuses of government on fast adoption and manufacturing of electric and hybrid vehicle will be on public and intermediary transport include taxi, three wheeler and buses. To take most out of government sops and incentives all the automobile industries are working out on its strategy to come up with their own electric vehicles based on the assumption that government will offer incentives to make electric vehicle more attractive.Once the government will approve the incentive strategy for all vehicle category then it will definitely boost the sale and acceptance of electric vehicles in India. The Incentives and sops by government will help in increasing the demand for electric vehicles. It is expected that this demand incentive will cover over a little over 5 lakh electric vehicles and over 80% of these will be Two wheeler and Three wheelers. To reduce the cost of electric vehicles and make electric vehicles affordable for all, government is planning to spend about Rs.5000 crore , covering 5 lakh vehicles is only 0.5% of the country current annual production. If the target is to reduce carbon emission, curbing rising fuel price and make people accept to electric cars there is lot more to be done by the government on the line.

Advantage and Disadvantage of Electric Cars.

Advantage and Disadvantage of Electric Cars.

Electric Cars been increasingly making the headlines in the recent years, even the major car manufacturer like Volvo has recently announced that Volvo cars to be all electric or hybrid from 2019 and even the Indian government want to see our roads free of petrol and diesel cars by 2030. Although electric cars is relatively a new concept in Indian automotive industry. After the announcement by Indian government to make India all electric by 2030, all the major automobile companies are concentrating their efforts to launch electric vehicles in India. Plug in electric cars also referred as electric cars or Ev's have a number of great advantages and benefits over conventional petrol/diesel cars, but they also have certain disadvantages when compared to conventional Petrol/diesel powered cars. In context with the electric cars, car buyers are always be in a jeopardy whether to purchase an electric car, hybrid car or a fuel powered(petrol/diesel) cars, in terms of advantage and benefits they get out of its usage. Most of us don't buy electric cars, but now its time to start thinking about the advantage and disadvantage of a electric cars before buying it.

ADVANTAGES OF ELECTRIC CARS.

1.) No Fuel Cost and Toxic emission .

Electric operated cars offers an advantage over conventional fuel operated (petrol/diesel) cars, because for running a electric car there is no need of petrol/diesel and electric cars rely on rechargeable battery to power electric cars, which means less money spent on fuel. Using a electric cars does not create any toxic emission or carbon emission and also helps contribute towards healthy and stable environment. Emission of carbon content from petrol/diesel vehicles considered to be the major source of pollution in India. Conventional petrol/diesel cars produce a lot of toxic carbon emission that are ejected into our atmosphere results in rising pollution level and problems associated to global warming. If you want to minimize your personal impact on environment through transport, then switching to electric car is a great step forward. Switching to electric car has the advantage of much lower running cost. The cost of electricity to charge an electric car is much lesser than buying petrol/diesel for the same, apart from that by buying an electric car you can also gets a government subsidies for being environmentally conscious. Although you might have to pay more for buying an electric car, but the positive part of Ev's overshadows the negatives.

2.) Electric Cars are Cost Effective.

Earlier buying an electric car would cost a bomb, but due to more technological advancement, mass production of lithium batteries, government subsidies and available tax incentives have brought down the cost of electric cars, thus making it much more cost effective.

3.) Electric Cars are More Energy Efficient.

Amount of energy produced from the fuel source that is converted to actual energy for running the wheels of a vehicle considered as energy efficiency. Electric cars are considered to be the most energy efficient comparing to conventional petrol/diesel cars. Electric car batteries convert 60 to 70 percent of energy into vehicle movement of a car, while petro/diesel vehicles only converts 18 to 25 percent, which means electric cars are more energy efficient since it utilize the energy generated from battery to its fullest comparing to conventional internal combustion engines.

4.) Low Maintenance Cost and High Performance .

Electric cars can cost you very less in terms of maintenance, whereas conventional petrol/diesel engines requires expensive engine maintenance over their lifetime because in a traditional combustion engine their are hundred of parts which can go wrong anytime and ultimately requires heavy maintenance cost ,whereas an electric motors has very limited parts which ultimately cost you lesser maintenance cost in the long run. Since electric cars runs on electrically powered battery packs,it need not have to lubricate its engine and need not have to send it to service station often ,results in lower maintenance cost.The Performance of electric cars has tremendously been improved with the time. In the past, electric cars haven't had the good image and acceptance, earlier people had a low expectation towards electric cars as to how well electric cars can do against traditional combustion engines, now due to the advancement in technology more and more manufacturers have piled into the market with their high performance electric cars, which eventually rocketed the level of performance of electric cars. Now the perception of people towards electric cars have changed, brands like Tesla have done a lot to improve people perception, the S- model of Tesla is considered to be the fastest accelerating electric car in the market which just takes 2.5 seconds to reach 60 mph. The lighter weight of electric cars due to limited parts on it adds to the performance of electric cars. Electric cars considered to be the high performance vehicles because its motors are not only quite and smooth but also requires less maintenance than traditional combustion engines, in addition to that electric motors react quickly making it responsive with good torque, it also provide option to control charge from an app.

This are all the key points that attracts many people to buy electric cars . Though electric cars may offers many benefits but they also have few disadvantages comparing to conventional petrol/diesel cars.

DISADVANTAGES OF ELECTRIC CARS.

1.) Charging Stations.

When it comes to electric cars, adequate number of charging points is of utmost importance. Since government is putting all their efforts to make people switch to electric by giving incentives and subsidies for buying electric cars, but even after all this efforts there is hardly any electric fueling stations for your vehicles, that means if you are going out for a long trip and if battery runs out you may be struck where you are.Though electric fueling stations are still in developing stage, it is expected to see more charging stations in the future.

2.) Electric Cars Covers Less Distance.

One of the disadvantage of electric cars is that it has a shorter range than petrol/diesel cars. Most of the electric cars can cover a distance of around 100 to 120 km on a single charge, whereas few luxury electric cars can approximately covers 180 to 250 km per charge, comparing to it , petro/diesel cars can cover approximately 250 to 300 km of range on a full tank and more fuel efficient cars can get much higher range. Although it is expected to be improve in the coming days.

3.) Electric Cars Takes Longer Time To Recharge.

Comparing to petrol/diesel cars which only takes couple of minutes to fuel the cars, an electric cars predominantly takes longer time to get fully charged. To charge an electric cars it takes up to 6 to 8 hours to fully charge your battery pack with a Level 1 or Level 2 charger, and even with a fast charging option it takes approximately 30 minutes to charge to 80 percent capacity.

4.) Battery Pack Needs to Be Replaced.

Battery pack of an electric cars are expensive and need to be replaced more than once over the life time of a car depending on the type and usage of battery.

5.) Electric Cars Are Expensive.

Comparing to fuel powered petrol/diesel cars, the cost of electric cars are very high, however government incentives, tax benefits and fuel cost savings can help to offset this cost.

Overall like any other cars electric cars also have pros and cons, it basically depends on the personal needs and usage of car to be considered before purchasing an Electric Cars.

When Will The Cost Of Electric Vehicles Will Go Down?

noreply@blogger.com (Niraj) — Fri, 06 Apr 2018 17:00:00 +0000

Price of Electric Cars Soon be Cheaper than Petrol Ones!

It is expected that by 2025, the battery operated Cars would possibly gets cheaper than their counterparts (petrol & Diesel) if the cost of Lithium batteries continues to fall.

According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance report ,soon the cost of battery operated Electric Cars will go down due to continue fall in the prices of Lithium-Ion batteries. Till 2024 the price of some models will cost same as combustion engine and latter it will gets more cheaper in years to come and for that to happen the price of battery pack is need to fall, even if the demand of metal that go with the unit continue to rise, told by the London based researcher.

Since all the countries is eager to clean up Smog in their cities, switching to battery operated vehicles are considered to be the best option. Now the companies are setting up Climate Goals for themselves by signing the Paris Agreement to reduce the use of Gasoline and Diesel cars. Even the countries like UK and China ,the world biggest polluters are looking forward to lead the world in the adoption of Electric Vehicles by implementing production quotas aiming at increasing the sales of Evs.

The expected boost in the mass manufacturing of Lithium-ion batteries and storage will going to help in reducing the cost of battery to low as $70 a kilowatt hour by 2030, told by BNEF.

The sale of Electric vehicles will continue to go up in the coming years but the price of Lithium-ion batteries still need to decline further for real mass market adoption, said Colin McKerracher, transport analyst BNEF.

"If battery material cost keep rising sharply this could push back the crossover point."-Bloomberg

noreply@blogger.com (Niraj) — Wed, 21 Mar 2018 16:17:00 +0000

FUTURE OF ELECTRIC CARS IN INDIA

Will Electric Cars be the future of Transportation in India and the World ?

Government of India is actively taking all sort of initiative to make India a pollution free environment. Among all the initiative, one of the initiative by government is to bring Electric Vehicles in Indian roads to curb the rising pollution level and minimising the import of oil to reduce the expenses on petroleum and diesel imports. This effort of government will definitely help in reducing Carbon Dioxide emission and will save billions of dollars of oil import.

After the announcement from Government to make India totally Electric by 2030, the Minister of Power and Renewable Energy Piyush Goyal has told that the Niti Aayog is trying to coordinate with the various government agencies to make a plan that ensures that by 2030,only electric vehicles are on sale in India, since Electric vehicles are Eco friendly and cause zero emission. Switching to electric mode of transportation will going to help by reducing about 1 gigaton of carbon dioxide emission by 2030.

Switching to Electric Cars will also going to helps India to reduce its dependencies upon oil imports and will save the country from purchasing metric tonnes of oil, costing billions of dollar. However in- spite of all the efforts the adoption of consumers to Electric Vehicles is still slow, may be because of lacking of proper infrastructure and government support and incentives considered to be the barrier for the sale of more electric vehicles in indian market.There are lot of challenges and opportunities but still there are positive signs for electric vehicles sectors in India, though government is putting all its efforts and actively working on plans to encourage Indian consumers to adopt to electric vehicles .

Automobile sectors such as Tata, Hyundai, Mahindra & Mahindra, Nissan, Ford, Maruti and Toyota has already working on Electric Cars, Auto Expo 2018 has showcased the Upcoming Electric Cars and concept cars which is expected to launch in india soon.

"Concerted efforts, Proper Infrastructure, Government support and Incentives is required to encourage Investors, Entrepreneurs and regulators to work together to bring innovative business models that will help in reducing the cost of Electric Vehicles and to substantially replace conventional transportation system of India."

Hopefully India is moving slowly and steadily towards the brighter and greener future to become a pure Electric Vehicle Nation.

BESCOM opens its first public e-charging point at KR Circle(Bangalore)

The Bangalore Electricity Supply Company (BESCOM) on monday inaugurated a fast charging station at its KR circle office,the first such public facility in the city,which has more than 6,000 registered electric vehicles.

As per Energy minister D K Shivakumar , one charging will cost a car owner approximately Rs 75, and will allow him to travel 120 km.

It is expected to launch 10 stations in the coming months across the city at Vidhana Soudha, Vikasa Soudha and other Bescom stations, including one on MG Road.

As an inaugural offer,Bescom is offering a flat rate of Rs 4 per unit of power till the time the Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission (KERC) approves tariffs the company has proposed. The proposed tariff is about Rs 4.85/unit of power between 6am and 10pm and Rs 3.85 /unit between 10pm and 6am, however Bescom has said that the rates will differ for fast charging options - Rs 5/unit and Rs 4.40/unit during day and night respectively.

" It will take approximately about 16 units of power to charge a car to run 120 km i.e. less than Rs 60/km,which makes it very competitive" This initiative will definitely fuel an increased demand for Electric Vehicles.

Inauguration of the fast charging station is a huge success in Electric Vehicle movement in the city and could well signal a major change in motorists perception.The fast charging station reassures drivers they will be able to easily recharge their vehicles. The power minister's promise that ten more such stations will be opened across the city in a month is great news and could move fence-sitters to buy Electric Vehicles.
