China vs India: EV Battle #ev #startup #entrepreneurship

China is a market leader when it comes to manufacturing and sales of EV two-wheelers. Mohit Yadav and Jyotiranjan Harichandan, started Bolt.Earth, previously known as REVOS, to do the same in India.
It was created with the mission of enhancing the accessibility of electric vehicles (EVs) to a broader audience.

Today, Bolt.Earth has successfully developed a range of intelligent operating system devices designed for two-wheelers.

Moreover, they have established an extensive network of over 30,000 charging points spanning more than 1,100 cities in India, making it the largest charging network in the country.

Problem is not charging
Problem is in waiting time for full charge

[parthasarathyvenkatadri]

More than charging infra its also the cost ...

[ankn]

He was very hesitant on saying 1000 cities and 150k people.😢

[chandraprasad]

India need atleast atleast 5 charging stations stations for every 1 km.

When I lived in Zhengzhou, China, I did not see any public charging stations. Recently, I was in Chengdu and I did not see any there either. As far as I am aware, people charge their battery at home before they leave for the day. If anyone visits you in China, first thing they do is put their battery on charge. I think what drove adoption of ebikes and escooters in China was simply that petrol engined scooters and motorbikes were banned from city centres.

Fuel cars are cheaper. It's as simple as that.

[rutvikrs]

Because India doesn't have cheap and consistent energy? We made huge progress in coverage but India is still nowhere close on the per capita energy metrics.

People have the wrong priorities and that gets translated to politics regardless of party. The central govt does not control the oil prices, global markets do.

[mithunnair]

Still we need more charging ststions man, mumbai also has very less charging stations

[shri]

You see ev cars priced more than petrol. Where the difference can be used to fuel petrol cars till 6-8 years. You have to change battery of ev car which will be quite higg

*Purchasing a stock may seem straightforward, but selecting the correct stock without a proven strategy can be exceedingly challenging. I've been working on expanding my $210K portfolio for a while, and my primary obstacle is the lack of clear entry and exit strategies. Any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated*

They have gone to every state, now they need to set goal for every single district and then to every single city/village.

I know it's hard to believe but E vehicles industry is booming.
I remember we bought our OLA S1 in 2022
which works at an excellent condition even now and when we bought it people were laughing that it's waste of money and it won't last long it's not value for money but in our own city I have seen so many Ola E scooties even 10 students from my college including me bring it to college.

It's all about reliability.... When I don't even trust my Phone's battery - It's difficult to trust my vehicle's battery....
I m switching only when Lithium ion batteries are replaced with a better version...

[Ravishankar-ddwk]

Also don't forget about battery blast 😅

[santhoshpubg]

Battery swap is the best solution. If all companies get into an industry standard and follow battery compactable then the ev growth would taken to another level in India

[mathewluke]

Its not about environment but its about control! Thats the reason behind evs

[RaJaSREE]

in India, governments think more about their commissions, than about the country and people..
so even after the year 3000, India will always be a developing country only..

[dough-pizza]

"charge for an hour" You should've stopped there 😂

[srikanthmandela]

For Indians population, we need a lot of them. Two options strike deals with petrol bunks to have charging stations, 2nd have swappable battery stations where discharged battery can just be swapped with a charged one at the bunks. Those are the best bets.

[Chakkuiyap]

If people really want our country to develop to next level, only then our country will prosper. People have to put country first.
