The Ideation Challenge (ROUND 3)

Problem Statement:
  Will Passenger car ever surpass
Two wheeler in EV segment?
Electric Bike Vs Conventional Bikes
Patrol Bikes:-
• Running cost is High due high price
of patrol.
• Suitable when travelling in high range
due to accessibility charging
stations.
• Initial investment is low as compared to
electric bikes.
• Re-charging is very fast.
• Low maintenance
Electric Bikes:-
• Running cost is very low as
compared to patrol bikes.
• Not Suitable on high
travelling ranges due to
absence of charging infra.
• Initial investment is high
due to Li-ion batteries.
• Re-charging takes time.
• High maintenance
E-Riksha vs Conventional Auto
E-Riksha:-
• Cost is almost same as
conventional auto.
• Range is large after one time
charging.
• Not suitable for high load.
• Low Maintenance
• Refilling takes time.
Conventional Auto:-
• Here cost is not an advantage for
auto.
• Lower mileage as compared to E-
Riksha.
• Can carry High loads also.
• High Maintenance
• Refilling is very fast.
Electric Cars vs Conventional cars
Conventional cars:-
• On Road Price is lower than
electric cars.
• Re-charging is very fast.
• Suitable for cities as well as
out stations.
• Higher Running cost
(6.25₹/km)
• Maintenance cost is higher
than Electric cars.
• Pollute the environment.
Electric Cars:-
• On Road Price is Higher than
conventional cars.
• Re- charging is time taking.
• Suitable only for cities.
• Lower Running cost (1₹/km)
• Low maintenance cost other
than expensive battery.
• Do not pollute environment
directly.
Current Scenario of EVs in India

• India has nearly 14 lakh EVs on Road, over half of them(57%) are
three wheelers.
• 39% of EVs in India are two wheelers.
• EVs sales in the country has gone up by three times in the last one
year itself.
Forecasting Penetration of Electric Two-Wheelers in India ... Government has decided to
push forward the use of electric vehicles in the country.

(NITI AYOG)
Reasons Why sales of EV car are less in percentage compared to
two wheelers
• Higher cost
• Lack of infrastructure
• Extended charging time
• Not suitable for outstation travel
• Fewer players in the market
• Higher insurance cost
Government’s Subsidy & Targets
• Since EV’s are expensive than conventional vehicles various state
governments are providing subsidies and tax exemptions to achieve
India’s target of zero CO2 emission.

• By 2030, the central government expects the EV sales penetration to

be 30% for private automobiles, 70% for commercial vehicles, and
80% for two- and three-wheelers.
Conclusion
• As the number of Two wheelers are comparatively higher
than passenger cars and initial investment is lower in two
wheelers than cars.
• Passengers Cars will not surpass two wheelers in India till
next decade. (in EV segment)
