1. I-Robotics Charging
I-Robotics charging of Electric cars.
Electric Car
An electric car is an automobile that is propelled by one or more electric motors,
using electrical energy stored in rechargeable batteries or another energy storage
device. Electric motors give electric cars instant torque, creating strong and smooth
acceleration.
Our View.
1.Business Value
In Today’s market we have Tesla's Superchargers, which
allow Model S owners to charge their battery in as little as
20 minutes. They are along highways in Europe, North
America, and Asia.
Tesla have 655 Supercharger stations with 3,966
Superchargers.
2. Tesla is the only EV manufacturer capable of charging vehicles at up to
120 kW, which equates to about 170 miles of range in as little as 30
minutes. There are many factors that affect the actual charge rate,
including ambient temperature, utility grid restrictions and charging traffic,
amongst others.
Cumulative global sales of highway legal plug-in electric passenger cars
and light utility vehicles passed the 1.5 million unit milestone in May
2016
As of May 2016, cumulative sales by country are led by the United States
with a stock of more than 460,000 highway legal light-duty plug-in electric
vehicles delivered since 2008
China ranks second with almost 390,000 units sold since 2011
Japan with over 150,000 plug-ins sold between 2009 and April 2016
500,000 plug-in electric passenger cars have been registered in Europe up
until May 2016
4. Current problem in EV industry are as follows
Long Refueling Time
Concerns about range are closely tied with issues related to how long it
takes to refuel an electric car. EVs commonly can add about 20 to 25 miles
of range in an hour of charging from a 240-volt source of electricity. So,
while you can’t run down to the gas station and add a couple hundred miles
of range in five to ten minutes, and while many road trips are not advisable,
drivers putting typical amounts of miles on their cars will not be impinged by
recharging times measured in hours—as long as they remember to plug in
before going to sleep. (One other factor: public DC Quick Chargers,
capable of adding about 50 miles of range in around 20 to 25 minutes, are
increasingly available in regions with relatively high numbers of electric
cars.)
Higher Cost
The current crop of electric cars are mostly priced between $30,000 and
$40,000. That makes EVs considerably more expensive than comparably
equipped small to midsized gas-powered vehicles. (For example, the
Honda Fit and Ford Focus can be had for less than $20,000. ) In this light,
EVs are indeed expensive. However, cost comparisons usually fail to
consider a number of factors, including: incentives often valued at $10,000;
competitive lease rates as low as $199 a month; lower maintenance costs;
and a luxury feel and amenities that far exceed what’s found in those
cheaper gas models.

4.IP Value
This is a new idea/concept which is similar to mobile cell phone where we
buy handset of one make and SIM card service from other service provider.
5. Similarly Car maker will keep slot for standard global I-Robotics battery and
the consumer will have to register for battery with I-Robotics Service
provider.
5.Development Cost
Cost of development of first robot battery would be more.
Later it would be manufactured in bulk like SPOT and Dispenser of GVR.
