Technology and Market Potential of e-Vehicle in India

Dhanalakshmi Srinivasan University, School of Engineering and Technology organized a one day Lecture on Technology and Market Potential of e-Vehicle in India on 20th December  2022  in Library SET, DSU. The lecture focused on different aspects about the e- Vehicles, like thermal management Lower running costs, Low maintenance cost, Tax and financial benefits, Zero Tailpipe Emissions and battery technologies. The welcome address by Dr. Sanjay Singh, Dean School of Engineering and Technology. The dignitaries on the dias is Dr. K. Karthick , Manager, Business Development Group, Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited, Tiruchirappalli. The expert talk starts with running cost of an electric vehicle is much lower than an equivalent petrol or diesel vehicle. Electric vehicles use electricity to charge their batteries instead of using fossil fuels like petrol or diesel. Electric vehicles are more efficient, and that combined with the electricity cost means that charging an electric vehicle is cheaper than filling petrol or diesel for your travel requirements. Using renewable energy sources can make the use of electric vehicles more eco-friendly. The electricity cost can be reduced further if charging is done with the help of renewable energy sources installed at home, such as solar panels. The Electric vehicles have very low maintenance costs because they don’t have as many moving parts as an internal combustion vehicle. The servicing requirements for electric vehicles are lesser than the conventional petrol or diesel vehicles. Therefore, the yearly cost of running an electric vehicle is significantly low. The vote of thanks is proposed by Dr. P. Kalidoss, Assistant Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, School of Engineering and Technology. Second year students and 10 Faculties have attended the program.
