The document presents a comprehensive overview of electric vehicles (EVs), tracing their history from early developments in the 1830s to the current landscape with over 2 million EVs on the road. It highlights the need for EVs to address environmental concerns, such as high CO2 levels and global warming, while also outlining their benefits, including sustainability and reduced maintenance costs. Additionally, the document discusses technical challenges, government policies supporting EV investment, and the competitive landscape among automobile manufacturers.

2. What is an Electric Vehicle (EV) ?
Any Vehicle propelled by electric drivetrain taking power from a rechargeable
batteries or electrical energy source(solar panels, fuel cells, etc.) by the help electric
motors is called an electric vehicle.

3. History of Electric Vehicles
1832- First EV developed by Robert Anderson using non-rechargeable batteries
1889- In US, an electrified wagon for 6 passengers with top speed of 14mph
1900- Electric Cars gain popularity as they are quiet and have no emissions
1912- Ford introduces Model-T with high driving range & affordability
1930- Complete takeover by Gasoline Vehicles
1970- Government recommends the use of EV’s to reduce air pollution &
gas prices were soaring
2001- REVAi was launched with 50 miles range in India
2006- Tesla unveils roadster which was the first EV with >200 miles range
(2010-2016)- Nissan Leaf, Model-S, Model-T, some hybrids were unveiled
and massive drop in Lithium ions batteries led several EV’s
launched commercially
(2017-Present)- More than 2 million electric cars are already on the road
Globally
Thomas Edison and an
electric car in 1913
Electric car built by
Thomas Parker in 1895

4. What is the Need Of Electric Vehicles ?
• High CO2 Level
• Increased Global Warming
• 75% of carbon monoxide emissions come from
automobiles
• Rising Temperature
• Need to reduce dependency on crude oil imports of
around $112 billion dollars which is equal to 3% of our
economy

5. Benefits of Electric Vehicles
Sustainability Efficiency
EconomicsConvenience
No Gear Box
Less Maintenance
No oil Changing Problem
Large Internal space
Can be charge at home
No tail Pipe Emissions
Improves the Liveability & Air Quality
More use solar panels & Wind Energy
Healthy Environment
Well to wheel efficiency
Regenerative Braking
Instant Power to wheels
No leg time i.e. Higher Torque
Less Running Cost
No Tax
Cheaper Fuel (electricity)
No Dependency on oil imports
Less Maintenance

6. Technical Challenges of Electric Vehicles
• Long Charging Time
• Limited Charging Infrastructure
• Cost of Batteries are high
• Range Anxiety

7. Fast Acceleration of Electric Vehicles
• Reduced Curb Weight
• Instant Power to wheels
• Higher Torque and Power throughout the RPM
• Effective Traction Control
• Low Centre of Gravity
• Torque Vectoring

8. Torque Distribution in Electric Vehicles
Specifications Tesla

Combustion Vehicles
Torque from Zero RPM Yes No
Instant on Power Yes No
Massive Horse Power Yes No, unless one is
electric
All wheel Drive Yes Yes, but limited to peak
RPM
Traction Control Yes Inferior due to massive
variability of HP
No shifting Yes No
Very low CG Yes Not without getting to

9. Policies by Government and Investment for Electric Vehicles
• FAME-1
• Subsidies on EV’s
• FAME-2
• Bharat Stage 6
• Volkswagen announces to invest around
50 billion dollars for next 5 years
• Mahindra to invest 1000 Crore rupees
on EV’s till 2020
• To be get invest around 1 trillion dollars
by all the automobile industries

10. Business for Automobile Industries
The automobile manufacturers are developing it, the market is promoting it, and the
policy is supporting it.
