Very informative video and as I have in real life people who buy EVs are usually using them as a secondary vehicle for city commute and totally making a joke of the environment argument because instead of having just a ICE vehicle now they have two or three vehicles and I would not blame just go and watch video of Faisal khan from motorbeam who got annoyed with his 1.5cr+ Benz because most of the power grid were inoperable in Pune to Mumbai route
The other potential alternative would be developing a better public transportation facility and promoting its more frequent use. Otherwise, focusing on flex-fuel car R&D as we have the natural advantage of growing a lot of sugarcane from which we could have ethanol.
You provide meaningful information thank you I request if you can make a video on how environmental friendly are evs because for that need information on how much electricity is produced by coal and other clean energy like solar wind and thermal is important
Interesting Analysis. Many thanks. Could you please analyse something in the competition between CNG and EV? What are the current sales of these two types of variants and anticipated growth?
"The demand for EVs come from two components - demand for two-wheelers and demand for four-wheelers. The total number of cars sold in India last year was 3 Lakh units but out of this, only 50,000 cars were EVs. This means roughly 1-2%" , I suppose its 30 Lakh units and the 1-2% of that is 50,000 units. Its mentioned in your description above.
Ironic that I just watched the previous EV related video from you today. I believe that supply chains will shrink even more as other industries other than automotive too start demanding the lithium resource.
Hi Pavan in EV, electricity is stored in batteries and for batteries lithium is needed. So what do you think on the hydrogen vehicles (which being in light for quite a while as government is also focusing on it now) is it going to replace EV? If lithium is not enough(upto now what we have found on earth) to power whole EV industry.
Hydrogen fuel cell technology vehicles also have great potential in comparison to BEVs.. There is lot of R&D going on in that space.. H2 vehicles are more suitable for trucks, buses and ship cargos in comparison to cars and bikes.. The problem with this technology is with generation of H2 n also with infra for fuel stations. we can expect it in the future with more advancements in tech.
I think hydrogen will make sense if it is manufactured from green energy, it makes sense over ev for heavy duty vehicles where the range will not be issue with fuel cell technology but for lmv it does not make sense to use green energy , where it is more or like one is using green energy to generate electriciry then use it to extract hydrogen then again use hydrogen in fuel cell to generate electricity
