It seems that James Bond will fight the bigger nemesis of global climate change.
It is reported that the gentle British agent may drive an electric Aston Martin in the latest Bond movie.
With the increasing sensitivity and demand for electric vehicles around the world, India is also catching up, with some domestic manufacturers turning to batteries
Power car.
"In the past few years, electric vehicles (EV) are gaining momentum, considering the uncertainty of fossil fuels in the future," said Sreeram Ananthasayanam, government and public service partners in PriceWaterhouseCoopers, India, recently released a report on e-commerce
Mobility and deployment of electric vehicles as part of the country's mass transit.
"The increased levels of pollution caused by vehicles using fossil fuels have also increased the popularity of electric vehicles," he added . ".
While reducing import dependence, exhaust emissions are zero, and electric vehicles will play a key role in balancing climate change and other cumulative factors, experts say.
By pulling out the thrust of fossil fuel, a battery-
A strong solution will also reduce India's dependence on imported heavy oil, thereby reducing the financial pressure on developing economies.
The center recently announced a significant investment in the second phase of faster adoption and manufacturing of hybrid and electric vehicles (FAME), which provides the necessary policy impetus for moving in the right direction.
This initiative aims to motivate manufacturers and buyers, and also provides an opportunity to promote large-scale e-commerce.
Transportation is also part of the national electric transport mission program, which provides incentives for more than 7,000 electric buses for commercial use.
Despite growing awareness, the road to embrace electric vehicles is not without speed bumps.
Tarun Mehta, CEO and co-president, said
Founder, Bangalore-
Based on Ather Energy, the company produces two electric scooter models: "First of all, problems related to local procurement and manufacturing and development based on domestic capabilities have been addressed.
There are still some gaps in some standardized requirements, such as electric two-in-one connectors
But we see these problems solved in the coming months.
However, Tarun believes that with apt products and a solid charging infrastructure, there should not be too many bottlenecks in the road ahead.
"Compared to ICE (internal combustion engine) vehicles, the problems we encountered were mainly due to unqualified vehicles and scattered charging infrastructure.
"So our goal is to make a light, least redundant scooter," he added . ".
The battery makes the "light weight" factor hanging in the mind of Pratik Gupta
Founder of Mumbai
Strom Motors, which is currently awaiting approval from the Indian Automotive Research Association for commercial release, has also designed its city electric tricycle Strom-R3.
Reverse-
Trike form' increases the number of wheels from 4 to 3, which greatly helps to reduce the overall volume, Pratik said.
"This also allows for extended car life by improving the battery
"Efficiency and life," Pratik said, adding
The R3 battery was designed to last about 1 kilometer before replacement.
Battery Manufacturing is also a barrier, and almost all electric vehicles still rely on lithium
Ion batteries with higher prices.
Nevertheless, estimates indicate the price of lithium
During the period from 2010 to 80%, Ion batteries decreased by nearly 2018.
"We expect prices to fall further, mainly because of falling commodity prices," Tarun noted . ".
As for the feasibility of mass transport, Sreeram believes that scale will drive cost growtheffectiveness.
"Wider adoption may reduce prices.
It will also drive advances in battery chemistry technology, which will help improve efficiency, reduce costs, charge faster, and a larger range/capacity, "he said.
As many public sector transport entities throw hats at electric car circles, private service providers and manufacturers are also driving, which is expected to accelerate in areas close to medium levels --term future.
"Once customers understand that the price difference between gasoline/diesel cars and electric cars can disappear in two or three years, they are willing to pay more for electric cars and feel like Tarun.
