EV & EV Industry - Multi Dimensional
Disruption
• Mechanical to Electrical/Electronics
• Heavy Metal components to Light composites
• Fossil Fuel to Renewables
• Stationary Power Generation to on the Road
Mobile Power Generation
• Centralized Power to distribute Power
• Grid to Grid less
• Hardware Dominated to Software Dominated
• Not connected to Networked , Fully connected
and Cloud based
Ampere Vehicle -Confidential

REAL DISRUPTION
# Automobile/Mechanical engineers will be
replaced by Electrical Engineers
# Automotive parts manufacturing companies
will close
# Auto Mechanics will lose jobs
# Petrol pumps will vanish
# Big car manufacturing companies will close
# Oil rich countries will become poor.

CHALLENGES
# Improvement in Battery Technology
# Quick charging Technology
# Charging stations through out the country
# Do we have enough Lithium ? Battery safety?
# Disposal of old batteries/Recycling
# New power electronics controllers/
Components
# software/cloud /Networking/IOT application
# New power plants(Coal/Nuclear/Solar/Wind)
# Man power redeployment
# What to do with existing petrol/diesel vehicles?
