I didn’t expect this surprise! Met Ather Co-founder Swapnil Jain I’ve always been fascinated by Ather. Especially how they think and build. Meeting Swapnil and having this conversation felt special. His decade-long Ather journey was fascinating. Building EVs then was far tougher. Imagine building EVs during those early days. The ecosystem was nowhere near today’s level. His insights were practical and inspiring. Especially his thoughts on ecosystem building. A great conversat

India doesn't need more EV startups. It needs 500 more component suppliers. Components include motors, Controllers, batteries, and BMS. Also chargers, ECUs, and Supporting accessories. The evolution of India's trade shows is already making this visible. Strong supply chains build strong industries. Suppliers create speed, quality, and resilience. A strong ecosystem needs both people and products. Trade shows and exhibitions are evolving rapidly. My recent visit to the MOG

I recently saw Honda Activa e's battery swapping system. The customer experience felt effortless. But incredibly complex behind the scenes. In my previous post, I highlighted how EV users are increasingly asking "How quickly can I charge?" rather than "How far can I go?" This is exactly where battery swapping becomes interesting. Battery swapping sounds simple in theory. Just replace a discharged battery with a fully charged one and continue your journey. ⚡ But the engineerin

Earlier, people asked: "Will I reach?" Now they ask: "How fast can I charge?" That shift alone shows how fast EV adoption is evolving. Yesterday, during the German Indian Mobility Summit 2026, Arun Vinayak of Exponent Energy, also confirmed this. He says, "Range anxiety is not changing to Charge anxiety" And honestly, I agree with him and Also can already see this happening. Public chargers are appearing everywhere now: Fuel stations. Shopping malls. Hotels and resorts.

Today’s morning walk changed my perspective. EV adoption is no longer limited to metro cities, Transformation is now visible even in Tier-3 towns. I still remember moving to China for work in 2014. Almost every vehicle on the roads is electric. Charging points were visible everywhere. Even roadside EV repair shops were common. Back then, India felt far behind. Today, I saw that future in my hometown. For the first time, India’s EV future felt real to me. Every few two-wheeler

Exited to see this great signal for innovation and investments. Policy optimism is real, but key EV adoption bottlenecks still remain: 💰 Affordability – High upfront costs vs ICE Charging infra & Battery swapping - availability, speed, reliability, standardized connectors. Consumer awareness – Range anxiety, resale concerns Skill gap – Trained workforce for EV design, service, safety Supply chain – Battery materials, semiconductors, localization, rare earth magnets Grid rea

Ecosystem collaboration is strengthening India is scaling faster than expected The scale of the tradeshow felt massive and impressive. One of the largest events I saw recently. I explored photovoltaic and solar ecosystems deeply. Wind energy presence felt slightly lower. Battery tech and storage solutions stood strong. FRP suppliers showed critical industry contributions. Cleaning technologies and instrumentation impressed me. Inverters, testing firms, and EV charging showc

I see a big shift coming Delhi just changed the EV game. I went deeper into the policy. Let’s break it down. No tax for EVs below ₹30L. Above ₹30L gets no exemption. Strong hybrids get 50% benefits. Only e-2Ws allowed from April 2028. Only e-3Ws allowed from Jan 2027. By 2028, ICE two-wheelers may collapse in cities. Scrappage incentives offer ₹10,000 for e-2Ws. ₹25,000 for e-rickshaws, ₹50,000 for goods EVs. This policy certainly pushes faster adoption. Public buses go fully

I walked into this Honda EV concept store curious, walked out convinced This is how EV adoption should start. This did not feel like showroom. It felt like EV education space. Everything was simple. Everything built confidence. I saw Honda Activa e:. Swappable battery reduces range anxiety. I saw Honda QC1. Fixed battery suits daily city users. Battery swapping demo looked practical. Subscription plan makes EV more accessible. Motor and charger display built trust. Kids

I am excited and proud to be part of the launch of Royal Enfield's Flying Flea C6 🏍️ As motor team lead, happy to share the insights of our integrated motor defining vehicle dynamics and rider experience. 🧲 Peak motor power reaches 15.4 kW.

I did not expect this explosion 83% electric car sales growth in one year Tata leads, followed by MG and Mahindra.. I found these EV insights interesting India’s EV story is getting real now Numbers are speaking louder than hype EV car sales reached 1.99 lakh in FY26 Up 83.6% from 1.08 lakh in FY25 🚀 Tata leads with 78,811 units Nexon and Punch drove growth MG follows with 53,089 units Comet and Windsor pushed volumes Mahindra shocked everyone Sales jumped 407% to 42

I overlooked his DMs—until one conversation changed my perspective. I discovered a young founder with a user-first EV mindset, building a bold AI-driven scooter 🛵 Shubham Agalave of EVO Energy, building an AI-powered scooter tackling range accuracy, safety, and reliability.
