The share of renewables in total electricity generation is now over 10%, more than 70% of the country’s electricity was still generated by fossil fuels in 2021.At COP26, India announced the highly ambitious goal of decarbonizing energy to 50% and achieving 500 GW of fossil fuel free generating capacity by 2030. This was a very large increase above its Paris commitments, far more than expected. This study discusses the challenges and feasibility in achieving the ambitious 2030 targets.

This report outlines some immediate opportunities for adjustments to reduce cost of contracting under GCC by around 10 to 15 percent. Those include: (i) removal of subsidy bank guarantee; (ii) adequate time for bid preparation; (iii) enhanced termination and Force Majeure clauses; (iv) adequate payment securities; (v) measures to enhance creditworthiness of the contracting authorities; and (vi) capping of penalties.

This report evaluates each vehicle and market segment considering their unique characteristics. Analytical models based on key cost drivers for each segment were used to project market penetration in a range of scenarios (from business-as-usual or “BAU” to comprehensive implementation of recommendations). A deep dive analysis was undertaken for three states (Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and Madhya Pradesh) across ten of their largest cities, then aggregated at the state and national levels for a comprehensive picture.

The main objectives of the policy are to promote clean transportation by promotion of use of Electric Vehicles (EVs) in the State. Set up widespread and accessible charging infrastructure to make usage of Electric Vehicles affordable and easy. Facilitate manufacturing of Electric Vehicles, its major components and batteries in the state thereby generate employment opportunities in the State. Promote Research and Development (R&D) on various aspects of electric mobility.

In this paper, the authors analyse framework performance and key performance indicator (KPI) values during the pre-lockdown period, soft-lockdown period, and post-lockdown lift-off period to show how the pandemic situations and governmental lockdown regulations can impact EV grid performance and EV charging business.

A battery thermal management system (BTMS) with functions of heat dissipation and heating by using only one liquid and one structure was studied, and a design for a new type of thermal management device structure was proposed.

This paper discusses a detailed analysis for reducing power loss and improving efficiency. In continuous conduction mode, the converters are tested with a constant duty cycle of 50%.

This review article aims to provide an overview of recent scientific literature on different charging strategies, including battery swapping, conductive- and inductive charging, and what data may be needed for charging different types of electric vehicles.

An exponential increase in electric vehicles on the road needs a follow-up in terms of the warranty. The proposed state of warranty (SOW) is a meta state that qualitatively describes the warranty fulfillment level of an electric vehicle.

This paper explored four pathways to a carbon-free transport sector in Germany in 2050 with foci on electricity, hydrogen, synthetic methane, or liquid synthetic fuels.
