  This is a part of the EV Innovation Intelligence series In its early days, charging an electric vehicle could take 8-10 hours. Surely no one would wait that long for a vehicle to be charged, unless of course it is charged while the owner is doing something else – sleeping,...

  This is a part of the EV Innovation Intelligence series It was said that the stone age did not end because of the lack of stones. It can be similarly argued that the reign of oil as the fuel for transport could end much before scarcity of oil hits the...

  This is a part of the EV Innovation Intelligence series The battery is a fairly old industry, over 100 years old. (The very first lead-acid battery was invented in 1859 by a French physicist, Gaston Planté). Even the relative newcomer, Li-ion battery has been around for over 30 years, as...

  This is a part of the EV Innovation Intelligence series For about a year now, there has been buzz around the concept of million mile battery. Now, I think it was Tesla that started it all, though there are some variants of the million mile battery we keep hearing about...

  This is a part of the EV Innovation Intelligence series Li-ion is the dominant standard for batteries for the e-mobility industry. And most industry experts think that Li-ion chemistry has established a strong foundation that will last at least for a couple of decades. Or will it? While some battery...

  This is a part of the EV Innovation Intelligence series In 2011, I was at a conference on biofuels at Orlando, Florida. During one of the breaks, I caught up with a senior Boeing executive. We got chatting, and out of curiosity, I asked him what Boeing thought about use...

  This is a part of the EV Innovation Intelligence series Micro-mobility refers to very short distance transportation – of the kind almost every one of us to many times a week. It could be running to a grocery store nearby or just taking your bicycle out for a 3 Km fun...

  This is a part of the EV Innovation Intelligence series Some years back, when most of us thought electric vehicles were far into the future, a bright entrepreneur set up an ambitious idea in Israel called Better Place, which he felt could actually do away at least one key problem with electric vehicles ...

While there had been always been ideological conflicts between many western nations and China (even though what China follows...

  This is a part of the EV Innovation Intelligence series It’s easy to think of electric cars as conventional cars in which the ICE has been replaced by a battery-motor combination. In fact, you would not be technically incorrect if you think that way. EVs indeed are the torque version...
