Holy Grail for
Electric Vehicles
------------------------------------
For Electric Vehicles , holy grail is : No need for
any Battery Charging stations !
World over, auto companies are coming out with EV
which depend upon heavy and expensive Lithium-ion Batteries , which require , anywhere
between 3 hours to 6 hours for
re-charging , after running for 200 – 400
km
In turn , that requires setting up a massive
infrastructure of thousands of Battery Charging Stations , all over the country
. Currently , India has some 60,000 Petrol
– Diesel filling pumps , which can fill up your car tank in less than 5 minutes !
If it takes 200 minutes to
re-charge a Lithium-ion battery , how many re-charge stations will be
required ? – even assuming that a car owner does not mind waiting at the
battery charging station for 3 / 4 hours !
So , the “ Holy Grail “
( 5G ? ) for electric vehicles boils
down to the following options , none of which need
a Battery Charging Station :
ISRO technology
This consists of a very small Lithium-ion Battery ( 5
Kw ) , continuously being charged through its Solar Panel Roof top . ISRO
demonstrated this in May 2017 but strangely no body talks about it !
ISRO :
the EV Game-Changer

Solar
Panels charging Li-ion Batteries of Electric Cars ?

Stotes-Dot Technology
The
three-year old Israeli startup, named StoreDot, is working on a prototype EV battery
that can charge in as few as FIVE MINUTES ,
and provide 300
miles of driving range.
StoreDot’s “ FlashBattery ” technology
is based on proprietary inorganic compounds and a hybrid multifunction
electrode (MFE) and promises a theoretical “instant” charge for smart phones
and electric vehicles.
“If this chemistry works as we
show, there’s no reason we couldn’t charge a
car in FIVE MINUTES ,” says CEO / Founder of StoreDot ,
Doron Myersdorf.
Aluminium Battery ( Metal Air Battery )
From
web site of Phinergy :
Phinergy’s air-electrode technology has enabled it to
master the metal-air reaction process and develop an aluminium-air system with
a lifespan of thousands of working hours, relieving the main constraints of
electric transportation and clean distributed generation.

==============================================
If Indian auto industry can get together to develop /
commercialize , one or more of the above mentioned “ Battery Innovations “ , it
can leapfrog the EV manufacturers all over the world . India may even
succeed in exporting EVs all over the World !
Dear Shri Gadkariji,
Current investment in the existing 60,000 Petrol-Diesel
pumps is Rs 6.5 lakh*crores
If 30 times more Battery Charging Stations are needed, then
that could cost Rs 195 lakh*crore !
So, how about allocating Rs 300 crores as done by the
Department of Telecommunications to develop 5G technology , as explained in the
following news report :
More than 200
researchers, students and teachers from across five Indian Institutes of
Technology have joined forces over a Rs 300-crore project to develop 5G
technology and its use cases in India.
The department of telecommunications-backed project, being billed as the biggest collaborative effort between these institutes, will aim to develop a comprehensive test-bed for 5G that can be used by technology companies, telecom operators, academics and start-ups for R&D purposes and developing 5G products and solutions.
The project has the
government’s full backing—Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had said in his Budget
speech that the telecom department will support a 5G technology test-bed that
will be anchored out of IIT Madras and whose roll could be expected in 2020, in
line with global roll outs.
The institute will also help in the
overall testing and integration of all sub-system modules and the demonstration
of the complete functionality of the final test-bed.

Why cannot we do something similar for Auto Industry ,
which must switch over to Electric Vehicles by 2030 ?
