So true @vineetasng
I don’t have words to describe the courage, clarity and honesty of the entrepreneur who under the glare of 14 cameras is able to make the choice to be a better provider for his family rather than continuing to go after his dream!

Dynamics of EV businesses are very poorly understood today: 1. Sourcing strategies have been flipped completely 2. Capacity announcements are worth less than the time of the PR agencies that drafted them 3. More of an engg & product business and no longer just an operations play

With last-mile delivery service providers like @zomato , @Swiggy, @bigbasket_com, and @amazonIN setting up electrification goals and EV numbers going up by 218% in FY22. India’s EV mass adoption is inching close. #EV #LastMileDelivery #TheFutureIsElectric bit.ly/3cgqht8
Why Ather wouldn't do knee jerk response to competition.

To deepen the current market penetration and hit numbers like 75% by 2050 or even Niti Aayog’s aspiration of 80% for 2W by 2030, the way forward is forging valuable partnerships that ramp up the manufacturing and time-to-market. #EVIndia #ev bit.ly/EVArticle1
We should talk more about this: 175M kms has likely saved ~7M kilograms of CO2 emissions and ~4M L of petrol already. And this is going to increase exponentially. ALSO: Ather customers will likely ride an additional 400M kms in FY23 🤯
Replying to @tarunsmehta
Correction: We're probably closer to 175Mn kms of actual on-road usage by now.

Today at 5:30AM Altigreen neEV vehicles left Mysore Palace for Bangalore Palace, nearly 150 km away. They are travelling on a single charge with a load of 150 kg. Live track: altigreen.net/vta/livemap.ht… #ElectricVehicles #LastMileDelivery #MadeInIndia

Whoever said more money = more problems clearly never celebrated a fundraising round ⚡️💵⚡️💵 Looking forward to more scooters, more Ather grids, more cool R&D projects and finally getting that Nutella back in stock in the office pantry.

bit.ly/3w1Uza3 This draft policy when in action is sure to incentivize more OEMs to join the market. The best use cases have been in the 3W last mile segment. With this, consumer choice also widens, which was seen as a gap previously. #EVs #EVIndia #EVehicles #india
#EV battery is in essence an energy storage solution that incidentally powers your vehicle and when we talk of an energy deficient country like India, V2G becomes a great option to crowdsource energy storage in a very cost-efficient manner. #evinnovations #EVIndia
In the years ahead, it should be possible for #ElectricVehicles to sell electricity back to the grid. Planned correctly, bidirectional #VehicleToGrid charging will be integral to our future electricity infrastructure. cef.ceew.in/masterclass/expl… #EnergyTransition @CEEW_CEF

Milestone Alert 🚨 WE JUST HIT 3000 CYCLES! Here’s to the whole team that made this achievement possible 😎💪 PS: Each cycle does a rapid charge in 15 minutes and 1 hour aggressive discharge. This has been repeated 3000 times on a Li-ion cell with just 17% degradation.

bit.ly/3KIBYF4 The shift towards electric is moving at a consistent pace, and mass adoption in the 2W and 3W segments is not far. Even the challenge of battery imports is being addressed with more battery OEMs branching out to accommodate the demand for #EVs

With the PLI scheme, more players are bound to join in. I would not consider the current public charging infrastructure as a challenge with public charging present every 3-4Kms, and alternative solutions like battery swapping. #TheFutureIsElectric #EVnumbers #EVIndia
Very comprehensive @venkatesh__modi thanks for putting this together #ev #evindia

What started as an effort to sum all our EV learnings has come to fruition! @arpiit and I are finally releasing an EV Primer covering in-depth analysis of the EV ecosystem in India. Report here - bit.ly/BlumeEVprimer

Take a bow @tarunsmehta @atherenergy #ather is the best engineered automobile on Indian roads period.
For context, here are the previous winners. In their times legacy OEMs built crazy powerful operations. We of course have a long, long way to go in building a comparable operations engine. But the sheer fact that people ALREADY see Ather in similar light, is mind blowing.

This will certainly open doors to more OEMs entering the EV market & new business opportunities for the existing ones to branch out to. Combined with the Govt provided PLI scheme, we will see a huge offtake over the next 12-18 months. #EV #EVIndia bit.ly/3wCqFd9
