Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati have developed a technology that aims to rate the motors and batteries of electric vehicles. With this rating, OEMs will be able to make an informed decision to pick the best drivetrain for EVs that suits Indian roads.
Conducted by the Electric Mobility Laboratory of IIT Guwahati, the research focuses on Indian rural and urban drive cycles. This way, researchers hope that OEMs could create efficient EV drivetrains that consider the varying climatic conditions of India. It could also result in reduced emissions and fuel consumption. That should give you more time before you start searching for a nearby EV charging station.
At the moment, the research primarily focuses on the two-wheeler EV market in India. However, the researchers are also looking into the possibility of extending the research to include four-wheelers in the foreseeable future.
