Electric vehicle Technology

Do you agree we need safer walking and cycling lanes? I once saw this road in Barcelona. It made me think about India. I still feel, dedicated walking and Cycling lanes are still a luxury in India. Mostly limited to a few posh areas in metros. In many tier-2 cities and towns, people walk, run, or cycle beside speeding vehicles every day. That is not just unsafe. It silently discourages physical fitness too. Many avoid cycling because roads feel unsafe. Good road infrastr

Audi E7X gets a choice of 100kwh & 109kWh battery. Dual motors, All-Wheel-Drive deliver 680hp power. Thermal management will Become even more critical. Torque touches massive 800Nm figures. 27-inch 4K curved display included. Currently, most EVs use 400V or 800V. Now, 900V systems are entering the market. 400V platforms need very high currents. 800V platforms reduce heating and copper losses. 900V platforms push charging speeds even further. Higher voltage enables thinner

China controls a major share of the Global rare earth magnet supply. Now imagine EV demand growing Faster than magnet availability. Rare earth magnets are critical to High-power-density PMSM motors Used in many EVs today. That is exactly why rare-earth-free Motors are becoming- Increasingly important for the- Future of electric mobility. The next EV revolution may not be driven by batteries alone. It may be driven by Motor technology, Material innovation, and Supply

The sector is not just building new vehicles. It is creating entirely new engineering career paths. Ten years ago, very few students planned careers around EV technology. Today, the industry is actively looking for talent in: • Electric motors • Power electronics • Battery systems • Embedded software • Thermal engineering • Vehicle controls The interesting part is that EVs are bringing mechanical, electrical, electronics, and software engineering closer than ever before. The

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.

We have the engineers, the market, and The demand to build every single one locally. The gap isn't technology. It isn't talent either. I've worked with engineers in Shenzhen and Chennai. The capability is identical. So what's actually different? 🔹 China has an ecosystem. Suppliers, simulation tools, test labs, and motor designers — all within 50km of each other. 🔹 India has islands. Brilliant engineers, separated by broken supply chains, Imported tools, and very less motor-

One moving part. No engine noise. Looks easy from the outside. An internal combustion engine feels mechanical. An EV motor feels electromagnetic. And that changes everything. Every EV motor mainly has two parts. The stator remains stationary. The rotor keeps rotating. But the actual power comes from Something invisible. - Rotating magnetic field. That magnetic field controls speed, torque, Efficiency, and vehicle response. The inverter plays a huge role here. Batteries supply

Mass adoption needs optimized products, not oversized specification We know. Tesla cars still feel financially distant for many buyers. India, for instance, remains highly price-sensitive. Tesla’s next EV looks strategically different. Not bigger. Not faster. More optimized. The upcoming 4.3m SUV could change EV packaging strategies completely. A smaller battery means lower material dependency. A single motor reduces system complexity. ⚙️ Lower vehicle weight improves ov

I caught up with Ajith Kumar AL recently Intrigued by his Ather smart scooter. Here’s what he shared and what I felt. After 15000km, His first feedback felt very genuine. “Still happy after two years.” I tried Eco, Ride and Warp. ⚡ Warp mode instantly changed my mood. Throttle response felt sharp yet controlled. Reverse mode felt surprisingly refined. The touchscreen felt very refined. UI transitions felt smooth and responsive. Every switch felt thoughtfully placed. OTA updat

Will Tata Safari EV could redefine family EV performance? Safari EV feels like a bigger challenge. Launching during India’s 2026 festive season. Expected range touches nearly 627 km. Three rows. More weight. Same battery pack. Larger EVs bring bigger engineering challenges. Aerodynamic drag and rolling resistance increase. Cooling, braking, and suspension need retuning. ⚡ Efficiency drops faster during city driving. 🚗 Thermal limits become more critical. Efficiency mapping

One conversation two years back changed everything. ⚡ We shared similar goals. We discussed India’s EV future. We saw one major problem. Rare earth dependency was rising. Supply chains looked uncertain. That sparked the Drivecore journey. We started building alternative motor solutions. The PM assist Synchronous reluctantace motor. Simple idea. Difficult execution. Suddipto took the earlier leap. He built the business foundation and team. I focused on motor technology. Many d

BGR answers it beautifully in this podcast. From growth to principles. 🏍️ From product thinking to brand building. The biggest learning for me? Royal Enfield never sold just motorcycles. They sold emotion and character. Honestly, Govindarajan B's podcast felt better Than many management schools. Lots of learning. My key takeaways shared below. Don't miss out. • How did RE build customer emotion? • How did production grow massively from 2000. no. Motorcycles per year in 1950

Do PM Modi’s 7 PRINCIPLES really makes SENSE or are they proof of FAILURE ? In my perspective, these are not new ideas. Most people already understand and follow these habits. PM Modi has simply reiterated them again. These actions can help India reduce fuel consumption, lower foreign exchange burden, improve health through lifestyle changes, and strengthen Make in India adoption. War or no war, Even small habits like carpooling, Remote work, or using metro systems can

I never saw modular design this aggressively. 16% higher specific power. 20% smaller packaging. One platform. Multiple outputs. Better thermal performance. Hyundai Mobis is turning EV scalability- Into an engineering advantage. Most EV users see battery capacity. But PE systems define driving experience. PE system means motor, inverter, and reduction gear. Basically, EV’s complete propulsion backbone. Hyundai Mobis now developed three architectures. 120kW for compact mobil

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

Royal Enfield in Andhra Pradesh. ❤️ My heart smiled twice today. This news brought pride and emotion together. Never imagined I would see RE In my home state one day. ₹2,200 crore investment planned in Satyavedu, Tirupati district. Around 267 acres allocated. Nearly 3,000 direct jobs expected. Phase 1 targeted by 2029. Phase 2 planned by 2032. Royal Enfield entering Andhra Pradesh feels very personal to me. Hope this creates opportunities for Thousands of young engineers. Thi

For a long time, I wanted to- build something of my own. But I stayed in my comfort zone. This time, I chose a bold action. I recently quit my job and started DriveCore Emobility Systems Private Limited with my friend Suddipto Mandal. This feels exciting and scary together. The timing felt right. And having the- Right partner made it easier. At Drivecore, we are working to solve key EV challenges. Reducing rare earth dependency is one focus. Improving after-sales experience i

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

We know that High torque needs rare earths What if we remove them completely? Yes, this Axial SynRM looks practical 👇 In my motor development experience, Material cost always becomes a bottleneck. I was reading about the NAFTech project. Typical PMSM uses 20–30% magnet cost. Their SynRM reduces this to near zero. First, why and what is a rare earth? Like neodymium and dysprosium. They give high magnetic strength. But prices are volatile. Supply chains are concentrated glob

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
