Hi Prateek,

 

The incentive to work on any of these category is too low for any private player/individual to work on. Maybe it is ok for state funded institutes. 

E.g. Contest expects to to innovators make electric vehicle which under Rs. 10 lacs  and then possibly be eligible for Rs. 5 lacs prize money.

Dear All,

We are looking to incubate a business model around EVs (cargo carriers upto 1 ton) at our mini-grids sites in rural Jharkhand. This will be based on re-charging the batteries at the villages where we provide 24x7 three phase electricity.

Can someone on this group advise on the right EV and price points, capacity, charging time, distance per charge etc.

Regards

Vijay
