2. Utilization Maximization
Different modes of transport in India offer ineficient services and poor utilization
Modes of Travel
Capital Assets
Utilization Maximization
Air
Aircraft
Airport
Decrease in turnaround time of the aircraft
Rail
Trains
Railways tracks
Increasing speed of the passenger trains and cargo trains
Increasing the capacity of the passenger trains and cargo trains
Road
Vehicles
Road Network
Promote NMT
Shared and connected public transport
Safe & Emission free

3. Electric Vehicle – Current challenges
Perceived Range Anxiety
Large size batteries Increases range but reduces affordability
Higher Asset Acquisition Cost
Large size batteries means higher asset acquisition cost
Increase in deadweight means lower revenue earning & passenger carrying capacity also higher energy consumption
Robust Charging Infrastructure
Lack of adequate charging infrastructure with in arms length of the asset owner
Quick charging means lower life cycle of the batteries in most batteries with Lithium Chemistry
Scale Economics
Present low demand devoids India from scale benefits
Chinese companies operate in multi GW scale ( Resulting in procurement advantage)

4. Battery Swapping eliminates need to subsidize EVs
Improved asset utilization key to improved services & affordability
Current prices of the EV high on account of low scale and battery cost
Need to explore EV sales without batteries
Promote smaller size battery with swapping stations at arms length
Convert Capital cost of battery into operating cost
Recycle used batteries to reclaim raw materials
Capex
Mass transport vehicles should operate for 16 to 20 hours a day
Charging time to be delinked from revenue earning time
Turns & Efficient logistics of Swappable batteries increases viability
Higher Utilization
Operating cost
Innovative low cost solution (Container as charging station)
Existing retail network as swapping station
Large scale operations
Competitive Financing
Battery Swapping eliminates need to subsidize EVs
