Electric Vehicles India

OCTOBER 23, 2021

The Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) based three-wheelers will pass through a phase of retrofitting and use of hybrid energy sources to fulfil economic and technological needs. Many governments are adopting electric vehicles in India, some start-ups are coming with retro fitment kits for Internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles.

A new trend is conversion of internal combustion engine vehicles. Our goal is to enable owners to enlist a local electrician/engineer to convert their cars, initially with lead-acid batteries, for under $6,000 and less than two person-weeks of time. (We The kit is designed so the batteries can be upgraded to lithium-phosphate.)

We now have three working converted prototypes (both described in Fact Sheet above, shown in photos and here ): The Calcars first proof-of-concept: (100+ mpg plus electricity, 10-mile electric range, now with temporary lead-acid battery pack, soon to be replaced by nickel metal-hydride batteries).

For reference, a typical lead acid battery can survive 500-800 cycles while 2,800 cycles is almost 8 years of use assuming one cycle a day. ISO/TS 16949 is the quality management system created by the International Organization of Standards to monitor the design, development, production and servicing of automotive components.

Lead-acid automotive batteries can be replaced by Li-ion chemistries to reduce weight, increase reliability and boost energy efficiency for engine start-stop systems and energy recuperation technologies. As a result, the inherent challenges of overcharge, overheating and internal short circuit are increasingly managed by electronics.

at least, the recycling infrastructure for the well-established lead-acid batteries is robust. lead-acid batteries have a far better recycling rate than even aluminum bottles — over 90% of lead-acid batteries are recycled. None of the new electric cars are planning to use old-tech lead acid batteries.
