Who is EAI ?

  This is a part of the EV Innovation Intelligence series Innovations are taking place in many points along the electric vehicle value chain. Even some of the value chain components thought to be commodities are undergoing transformation and innovation. Many innovations being attempted require significant resources – both financial and...

  This is a part of the EV Innovation Intelligence series Oil goes into many things. It goes to make plastics, for instance. It also gets used in some power plants. It is used in backup diesel generators. But the bulk of the revenues for the oil companies come from its...

  This is a part of the EV Innovation Intelligence series E-mobility and electric vehicles present an exciting domain for startups. For many bright brains from the sciences and engineering (and not just software whiz kids), this domain offers a rare opportunity to use their engineering skills and build exciting ventures. This alone – the diverse profiles of...

  This is a part of the EV Innovation Intelligence series History tells us that the very first electric motor was made by Thomas Davenport of Vermont, who invented a battery-powered electric motorway back in 1834. That was a long time ago. With an almost 200 year history, it will be no surprise that...

This is a part of the EV Innovation Intelligence series Electric vehicles are giving the opportunity to many industry stakeholders to reimagine the vehicle as we know it – be it a car, truck, van or a bus. As completely new minds such Elon Musk and other bright pioneers from diverse...

  This is a part of the EV Innovation Intelligence series A once-in-a lifetime-pandemic can also become a once-in-a-lifetime period when many things – even some of them fundamental – change. COVID-19 is still on, and it will perhaps be only by end of 2021 when we can breathe easy – literally. But...

  This is a part of the EV Innovation Intelligence series Electric cars have no tailpipe emissions, but that does not mean your trip on the electric vehicle resulted in no lifecycle emissions. Making batteries (or electric vehicles) consume energy, which in turn result in CO2 emissions somewhere in the EV...

  This is a part of the EV Innovation Intelligence series Many e-mobility industry watchers would doubtless have come across new articles and TV shows centered around the theme of Lithium scarcity. Estimations show that by 2025, 75% of the world lithium consumption will be for batteries. If Lithium forms the core...

  This is a part of the EV Innovation Intelligence series Until recently, conventional vehicles were dominated mainly by mechanical engineering and petroleum engineering. The former ensured the vehicles were safe and robust. The latter ensured that the vehicles had fuel from any place imaginable, at a reasonable price. Since 2000, even...

  This is a part of the EV Innovation Intelligence series A large car could weigh about 1.5 tons, the largest truck could weigh 25 tons (15-20 times as much as a large car), and could be required to travel much longer distances on a single trip compared to a car. If...
