 What is an Electric Vehicle (EV) ?

Any Vehicle propelled by electric drivetrain taking power from a rechargeable

batteries or electrical energy source(solar panels, fuel cells, etc.) by the help electric
motors is called an electric vehicle.
 History of Electric Vehicles

1832- First EV developed by Robert Anderson using non-rechargeable batteries

1889- In US, an electrified wagon for 6 passengers with top speed of 14mph
1900- Electric Cars gain popularity as they are quiet and have no emissions
1912- Ford introduces Model-T with high driving range & affordability
1930- Complete takeover by Gasoline Vehicles
1970- Government recommends the use of EV’s to reduce air pollution &
gas prices were soaring Thomas Edison and an
electric car in 1913
2001- REVAi was launched with 50 miles range in India
2006- Tesla unveils roadster which was the first EV with >200 miles range
(2010-2016)- Nissan Leaf, Model-S, Model-T, some hybrids were unveiled
and massive drop in Lithium ions batteries led several EV’s
launched commercially
(2017-Present)- More than 2 million electric cars are already on the road
Globally Electric car built by
Thomas Parker in 1895
 What is the Need Of Electric Vehicles ?

• High CO2 Level

• Increased Global Warming
• 75% of carbon monoxide emissions come from
automobiles
• Rising Temperature
• Need to reduce dependency on crude oil imports of
around $112 billion dollars which is equal to 3% of our
economy
 Benefits of Electric Vehicles
Sustainability Efficiency
No tail Pipe Emissions Well to wheel efficiency
Improves the Liveability & Air Quality Regenerative Braking
More use solar panels & Wind Energy Instant Power to wheels
Healthy Environment No leg time i.e. Higher Torque

Convenience Economics
No Gear Box Less Running Cost
Less Maintenance No Tax
No oil Changing Problem Cheaper Fuel (electricity)
Large Internal space No Dependency on oil imports
Can be charge at home Less Maintenance
 Technical Challenges of Electric Vehicles

• Long Charging Time

• Limited Charging Infrastructure
• Cost of Batteries are high
• Range Anxiety
 Fast Acceleration of Electric Vehicles

• Reduced Curb Weight

• Instant Power to wheels
• Higher Torque and Power throughout the RPM
• Effective Traction Control
• Low Centre of Gravity
• Torque Vectoring
 Torque Distribution in Electric Vehicles
Equivalent available
Specifications Tesla to Internal
Combustion Vehicles
Torque from Zero RPM Yes No EV’s
T
Instant on Power Yes No O
R
Massive Horse Power Yes No, unless one is Q ICE
electric U
All wheel Drive Yes Yes, but limited to peak E
RPM
Traction Control Yes Inferior due to massive RPM
variability of HP

No shifting Yes No

Very low CG Yes Not without getting to

formula one Layouts
 Policies by Government and Investment for Electric Vehicles

• FAME-1
• Subsidies on EV’s
• FAME-2
• Bharat Stage 6

• Volkswagen announces to invest around

50 billion dollars for next 5 years
• Mahindra to invest 1000 Crore rupees
on EV’s till 2020
• To be get invest around 1 trillion dollars
by all the automobile industries
 Business for Automobile Industries
The automobile manufacturers are developing it, the market is promoting it, and the
policy is supporting it.
