Top 10 Indian EV Startups That Are Driving India Towards a Greener Future

[@backstagewithmillionaires]

Here are some of the honorable mentions for the top EV startups that didn’t make it to the top 10: 1. Ampere Electric 2. AMS Electric Mobility 3. ATI Motors 4. Atumobile 5. Batt:RE 6. Celestial E-Mobility 7. Cell Propulsion 8. Everve Motors 9. Evolet 10. Kabira Mobility And then there is a late entrant: *Pravaig Dynamics* which is one of the first serious premium electric car manufacturing startups in India. You can find out more about them here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l321mol9qcuCe5I At the time of filming, they were in stealth mode, and so sadly we weren't aware of them until late into the editing process of this video. However, you check out our interviews with the people behind Pravaig here: Siddhartha Bagri kzbin.info/www/bejne/hp-Ueqmnpqibl6M Dhawal Khullar kzbin.info/www/bejne/n57YoJqNoNeSjsk Ram Divedi kzbin.info/www/bejne/nH7KfJyretitqMk

One major thing why the swappable battery is important in the Indian market is due to the fact many live in apartments/housing where you can't bring a charging cable to your scooter. This means when you reach back home from work you need to take the battery out and bring it into your home to charge.

[@daemonnice]

Pleased to see India taking a lead in EVs, though, if I am honest, I see a common criticism in most of these designs, if not all, is a lack of aerodynamics, especially in the boxy four-wheel vehicles. Efficiency is utmost in EVs and with all the surface area of a vehicle, it seems to me an opportunity to have solar panels and to be able to charge your batteries on the go and potentially not needing a grid to have to plug into. The Aptera out of San Diego can do this and is just an amazing concept now in production. It is, in my mind, a conflict of interest that these Indian ebike manufacturers are also investing in charging grids, thereby the less in vehicle efficiency, the more you plug in, the more money they make off you when you buy their bike.

[@nikhil141088]

Indian roads and cities have no use for aerodynamics. I am sure the 200 km/hr bike would have though about that!

Hey BWM , I just wanted to know how you rank the given startups. Is it based on no. of vehicles sold or the capital raised by it?

[@backstagewithmillionaires]

Hi Romanane, for this particular video, there wasn't really any specific metric that we used. The structure was more focused on keeping people engaged and interested in the video, not on ranking the startups by any particular metric. Typically we rank startups based on valuation. However, because India's EV startup space is still in its infancy, the valuation of many of these startups is confidential, or uncalculated. As a result, I decided to take a more subjective, creative approach 🙂 the main intent of the video was to educate people about and promote the EV startup space. -Caleb

I see two big problems with electric vehicles now..1. Every vehicle has different charging tech, charger connectors etc. That would make it more difficult to establish multiple type chargers in multiple locations. This is something like the earlier cell phone chargers each having its own connector type, unless it got standardized to the C-type now. ....2. The government is providing subsidy benefits which is not being passed on to the customers by the manufacturers and being pocketed by manufacturers. Unless all of these is being addressed, it is going to keep the users with the range worry, and limit buyers
