As more companies invest their resources to develop and launch electric cars, the demand for EVs is gradually increasing across countries. While India is also taking steps to promote electric vehicles, the adoption rate has been slower than most countries due to the high price of the vehicles. Citing the demand, researchers from various IITs have now developed a new charging technology that promises to reduce the cost of electric vehicles by half.
“The proposed charger is reconfigurable that can act as a charger for charging mode and inverter for propulsion mode. The cost reduction in the charger will subsequently reduce the cost of the EV as well. In this way, the proposed technology is giving low-cost technology for EVs,” Singh explained.
