Future of electric vehicles in Indian Market and emerging trends in vehicles.

Hello guys, welcome back today I will discuss it today what is electric vehicle and what are pros and cons of the vehicle and what problems can we face further . Let's see why can  electric vehicles demand will increase in future and also discuss about some important things in electric vehicles

Future Scope of Electric Vehicle In India and Challenges faced by  the electric vehicle in the Indian Market.

 

What you mean by electric vehicles ?

A electric vehicle uses induction motor or brushless DC motor depending on the manufacturer and as some of them uses induction motor as in the petrol engine or deisel engines the there is carburettor that produces the power by injecting the air fuel mixture in the engine.

                                                      

 What is future scope in india for these vehicles ?

So let's take a look at the Tata Nexon EV (XM) AND Tata Nexon specs related to engine as mentioned below.

Tata Nexon EV XM is the mid electric(battery) variant in the Nexon EV lineup and is priced at Rs. 13.99 lakh (ex-showroom, Pune). This XM variant comes with an engine putting out 127bhp and 245nm of max power and max torque respectively. Tata Nexon EV XM is available in Automatic transmission and offered in 3 colours : Signature Bluesilver, Moonlight Silver and Glacier White.

Under the hood, it debuts Tata’s Ziptron electric powertrain, delivering 129Ps of power and 245Nm of torque, juiced up by a 30.2kWh battery pack. It is claimed to deliver 300km of range, along with nifty tech like braking regeneration. The electric SUV is also capable of fast-charging, that gives a 0 to 80 per cent charge in an hour. All this power propels the Nexon EV from  0-60kmph in 4.7 seconds and 0-100kmph in 9.9 seconds. It also gets Eco and Sport drive modes.

Tata Nexon

Tata Motors has launched the Nexon BS6 from Rs 6.95 lakh and Rs 8.45 lakh for the petrol and diesel variant respectively (ex-showroom). The 1.2-litre turbo petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engines have received BS6 upgrades. However, the 1.2-litre turbo petrol with the BS6 update has become more powerful producing 120PS and 170Nm of torque. The 1.5-litre diesel engine retains its figures at 110PS and 260Nm. 

 

 The Nexon BS6 is powered by 1.2-litre turbo petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engines with the turbo petrol now more powerful producing 120PS and 170Nm of torque. The 1.5-litre diesel engine produces 110PS of power and 260Nm. Transmission options include a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed AMT gearbox.

So looking at the above specs we can see that electric vehicles are way more efficient in terms of the power and fuel economy and petrol/diesel engines are also best in its place but power is more after all but considering the pricing of electric vehicles and petrol engine vehicles there is huge difference between them .The future of the electric vehicles will be great if the prices will be reduced in upcoming automobile markets with reduced cost of spares and technologies used in those vehicles by optimization of manufacturing techniques with the help machines and spare parts availability instead of importing from other countries. Due to spare parts like motors and batteries that are important parts are imported from foreign countries due to that costing is high in current market.

What are the Pros and Cons of electric vehicles ?

Pros

Electric Vehicles have many benefits or advantages compared to diesel or petrol engine vehicles. Let's discuss a few benefits of electric vehicles.

01. Reduces Emission - By using an electric vehicle we can reduce pollution in the country.

02. Saves Fuel Cost - Electric vehicle needs an electric supply to charge the battery there is no need for petrol or diesel which will reduce your fuel cost.

03. Less Noise - The electric vehicle produces less noise compared to a diesel or petrol engine.

Cons

Price- Considering the costing the electric vehicles maintenance is higher and the vehicles spares cannot be repaired most of the time it should be replaced.

Challenges Faced in India ?

If many people will start to use the electric vehicles in India then we all will face lots of challenges in upcoming days. Well, I will discuss below what are the challenges which we Indians face in upcoming days.

01. Average Price - The average price of an electric vehicle is high compared to petrol or diesel engine vehicles. If the price of an electric vehicle is more than a diesel or petrol engine vehicle then the people will buy petrol engine vehicles because of the low cost. If the price of an electric vehicle will be less around 5-8 lakhs rupees then people in India will buy an electric vehicle. Let's take an example of some companies, recently Mahindra company launched electric vehicle the cost was around 10 lakhs only a few people in India buy this car because the cost was high with fewer features compared to petrol or diesel vehicles and the BMW i8 the cost is around 2.62 crores rupees only 0.001% people will buy it.

So guys, overall the cost of electric vehicles should be less.

02. Charging Stations - To charge the electric vehicle we need a charging station but in India, only a few places, there is a charging station such as in Delhi and Bangalore. If people in small cities start using an electric vehicle then they face the challenge of charging stations.

03. Lithium-Ion - The lithium-ion batteries are required to run electric vehicles which are not produced in India. Well, we don't have lithium reserves in India. We are importing from other countries. To manufacture the electric vehicle a large amount of lithium-ion is required but we are importing it from China or some other countries.
