On one hand the accidents were a problem. But i think thats only a small part of the story. EVs are expensive in india while not being as good as their gas counterparts. A little known fact, the countries which lead in EV adoption like US, EU and China have massive subsidies to help the purchase of such vehicles. For eg, the US recently launched a tax credit worth 7500 dollars for the purchase of every electric vehicle. So nearly 10-20% of the cost is covered by the government. Another fact is EV's still can't compete with the range of gasoline vehicles. Most EV's, even some of the better ones are limited to 400km in range compared to gasoline vehicles which can do twice that. EVs also take quite a while to re(fuel) as in they take a few hours to charge once out of juice. Gasoline cars don't. We need a lot more investments in charging stations, battery technology and subsidies before the average consumer will prefer it over normal fuel powered vehicles.
First these will be implemented in developed countries especially with less population countries, and to implement in India we need more infrastructure support and development that will take another thirty years time ,one more generation to come.

I think there are more factors than mileage. The cost of importing lithium-ion batteries is high in India. Hence to install charging stations at a high cost with less ROI there will be fewer investors. There are states in India that subsidize buying EV cars, it has been there for more than 10 years now but nobody takes advantage of it. And the cost of making Ev batteries in India is higher as well which is why EV cars are expensive. Unless and until there is no drop in battery prices EV cars getting into will take a long time. With less number of Ev's on road, we can't expect charging stations which are as expensive as well.

This will only happen if India follows environmentally friendly practices on the broad spectrum which I doubt will take a long as well. Most vehicles in India doesn't even follow Engine standards which are considered safe by the EU or US. Yes, petrol and Diesel can give longer mileage but they are not pollution free, and maintaining an EV is far easier than a Gas powered car. EVs are still evolving and charging time will soon decrease as now we can see mobile phone batteries getting fully charged within minutes. If anyone in India invests enough in R&D in battery technology which the EU does a lot we would have our hopes up.

Yes. But while the indian government does subsidize EV vehicles its not to the extent of the nations i mentioned. They are way too rich 😂. While importing lithium ion batteries is expensive, fact is the US imports them too from... China. So i think while domestic batteries are much better they are not the definitive problem for EV's in india.

This was an article Published way back in October 2021:

New technologies are introduced in business practices every year. Most of them are designed to improve business processes and help companies provide a better customer experience. The entire world is undergoing the fourth industrial revolution that rests on advanced technologies such as AI, ML, IoT, blockchain, etc.
Technologies in 2021 saw a massive expansion of robotics, nanotechnologies, and AI, laying a strong foundation for future applications. This article will tell you more about the technological trends that will shape 2022, and how they will help improve existing business practices.

1. Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence solutions are quickly finding an application in most business processes and industries. They became the go-to solutions for business optimization, increasing efficiency, and productivity, only due to the available increasing computing power.
Even though AI development is expensive, the benefits artificial intelligence provides are worth the effort. It focuses on the automation of business processes that allows companies to get an edge over their competitors.
AI has been in use for decades already across many different industries. AI-powered robots, devices, and logistics managers have been improving the way industries work for a long time now. AI solutions became popular because they didn't require a lot of coding and could deploy quickly. However, AI technology reached a point where it can integrate with existing systems and help companies improve their operations on all levels.
New AI technologies such as natural language processing and advanced machine learning systems have reached and surpassed human capabilities. They can now learn new languages, scan entire systems, and make accurate decisions. Devices such as Google Assistant, Alexa, and Siri all combine NLP, ML, and AI, to provide a better user experience.
AI solutions will soon combine the capabilities of multiple technologies to improve all kinds of practices in the future. 2022 will be the year when most successful companies introduce AI into their operations, and it's a process that won't stop anytime soon.

2. Internet of Things

The internet of things or IoT is a modern technology that uses sensors to generate real-time data. These sensors can be placed on all devices in a manufacturing plant to monitor their performance. The same approach is used to monitor employee performance and improve safety. IoT devices became the go-to solution for contact tracing during the pandemic, giving companies a way of preventing outbreaks in their facilities.
The real power of IoT is unlocked when paired with the right ML/AI solution. The data generated by the sensors is sent to an ML system that identifies gaps in the operation. The AI then reviews the information and proposes steps that will help improve efficiency and productivity.
However, IoT sensors and AI offer other incredible technologies, such as the digital twin. This technology uses real-time data to recreate an entire production, product, service, or business process in a digital environment.
As a result, businesses can run all kinds of simulations to see how their products or operations will perform in different settings. Moreover, the technology leads to practices such as predictive maintenance that is able to eliminate downtimes due to faulty machinery. It also helps reduce costs, improve monitoring efforts, and improves product development.

3. Blockchain Technology

Blockchain technology has been around for years, but by 2022, it will become a part of almost every industry. The technology behind blockchain makes it ideal for areas such as banking, healthcare, politics, and others.
It focuses on creating decentralized digital ledgers that store and track information across multiple locations. The approach makes it impossible to hack, as all identification requires complex calculations. In other words, even if someone tries to use real IDs to enter the system, they will be identified and blocked immediately.
The world expects a lot from this technology, but it's hard to say if it will become the revolutionary tech everyone hoped it would be. That is mostly because large political and banking corporations don't like the idea of decentralizing their data.

4. Cryptocurrency

Cryptocurrency and blockchain technologies go hand in hand, as they share the same approach to handling information. However, cryptocurrencies use the same principles to simplify the online exchange of goods and services. Just like blockchain, all information is decentralized and kept safe across multiple locations.
With that said, there's a huge buzz around the use of cryptocurrencies because of a few critical issues. First of all, no one expected cryptocurrencies to become so popular. It was supposed to be a one-year trend everyone forgets about over time. The reality is completely different, and even though the market is small, it's growing faster than anyone expected.
The other problems are banks and governments around the world that do everything they can to discredit cryptocurrencies. The overall value of digital currencies blew up overnight, but they can deflate and disappear the same way they appeared.



5. 5G Technology

5G technology focuses on improving internet speeds to allow instant data transmission. When compared to 4G (the technology in use right now), it's able to increase speeds tenfold. However, the technology comes with a few challenges that make implementation and adoption a little bit tricky.
Namely, 5G uses millimeter waves to transmit data. The wavelength spectrum is between 24GHz and 100GHz, which means that the data can travel only on short distances. For things to work, governments have to install billions of 5G antennas everywhere. Moreover, the waves can't penetrate through walls or thick structures, so these relays have to be installed inside large buildings as well. Even though 5G can transmit far more data from multiple sources, all relays have to be organized to keep data transfers safe.
There are many complications in adopting this technology, but the benefits outweigh the risks in many cases. 5G will surely redefine entire industries by improving connection speeds and data transfers. It will act as the backbone for things such as connecting autonomous vehicles to the internet, improving virtual reality experiences, and bringing IoT to the next level.

6. Quantum Computing

Quantum computers are the latest generation of supercomputers that uses quantum bits rather than the regular binary system. It works with 4 different varieties of 0s and 1s, which enables it to complete processes that would take traditional computers ten thousand years in just 3 minutes.
These computers are so powerful, they can break through any 256-bit encryption in seconds. They use algorithms that are able to complete seemingly impossible tasks efficiently. Quantum computers are already developed by the largest corporations such as Microsoft, Google, IBM, etc.

7. Cloud Services

You almost can't find a business that doesn't use some cloud service. Cloud computing became available years ago, and it quickly became the go-to solution for growing companies. Cloud services allow operation scaling without investing in new hardware or IT equipment. Instead, all data storage, maintenance, and management are done from an online cloud.
Cloud services redefined most business processes already, and more and more companies are adopting SaaS solutions. The cloud computing market is expected to reach $397.4 billion in 2022, with a growing trend that doesn't show any signs of stopping.


Do you guys really Believe these technologies have really driven us in this 2022 ?

The US has been importing too much lithium-ion for a long time that their import costs are low( Trade/taxes). India has a higher import tax on most electronics/components. Lithium-ion is the only battery that is reliable for EVs for now. Not sure what other domestic batteries work because India doesn't have natural resources to produce lithium-ion. While the US has and still imports just like their oil reserves.

Today Tesla is launched their EV truck called Tesla Semi which is three time faster than the normal diesel truck and it can go up to 500 miles with a single charge. There is no need to change gears to reduce speed, everything controlled digitally. PepsiCo already bought one truck from Tesla ,and it costs 80000 pounds.

This is kinda true. Athough EVs do overall reduce emissions, they do pollute the environment a lot. A lot of electricity is needed to charge EVs and most of it is generated from thermal power plants which burn coal and oil. Altho it is more efficient that way. A centralized source of electricity which powers all cars is always more efficient than every single vehicle generating power from their own small fuel sources on a large scale. But the bigger problem with EVs are the batteries. Lithium ion batteries like in any other EV degrade over time. And after a while degraded batteries need to be disposed of. This is extremely harmful to the environment since these batteries once degraded are extremely toxic to the soil. And we will see higher number of cars being replaced. While traditional engines do wear down it is easy maintain them and thats why we see people still driving 10-20 year old cars. It is impossible to stop lithium ion battery degradation with current technology. So yes, EVs are not toxin free with respect to the environment.

Lithium-ion batteries aren't mostly disposed of. They are used for lesser charging applications or they recycle and recover most of the lithium, cobalt, and nickel. Most lithium-ions manufacturers recycle tonnes of batteries that can be reused in Evs. That is the reason why most governments are pushing for EVs.

Traditional engines consume more power to manufacture a Single engine as well.

They are less polluting than typical gasoline which is more toxic.

You cannot bring emissions to 0. But you find a way to reduce it. Evs uses batteries which might need some energy to make it but they can make less and recycle and reuse in so many other applications. You would definitely reduce the Carbon emission by more than half from traditional engine-based vehicles.

Random people tweeting memes who have no idea about technology are a poor source of information.

And this is battery recycling information from Tesla. If you want to know these Ev manufacturers' work and the reason why companies like Tesla or SpaceX get billions in subsidies from the US government and NASA is that they re-use and Recycle it. You can read it here if you want to know how Renewable energy works. When fossil fuels are depleting and killing the soil.

I dont disagree that EV's bring down emissions. And it is true batteries could be recycled to an extent. But the recycling rate at present isn't as good as it can be


Certain battery modules take nearly 2-3 hours to dismantle. Thats not viable on scales which run in millions of automobiles.
I don't disagree that EV's are the future. They are very much the future of transportation and there are new technologies everyday to improve said limitations. In a decade or so there would be no way to justify gasoline cars.
EVs are advancing rapidly while gas cars are falling behind. There are just a few issues to be ironed out is all which I'm sure will be solved in the near future.

Your posts have been informative. I admit I'm not in the field and I won't guarantee that I'm 100% right. Thank you for giving me a new outlook.

Evs are fairly new. There will be improvements in recycling and the dismantling rate will be increased purely depending on the investment. It's not the recycling rate we should worry about, but the fact that even if slow they are being recycled. When there is more demand there will be more of these services to offer.

Yes, they are recycling it. Even the article above is about using more technology to recycle. This is why EVs are future technology with billions being funded on Battery technology and recycling. As said only time will answer if they are efficient. The EVs have been in the market for 20 years may be? Engine-based vehicles have been there for hundreds of years so give it some time.
