EV production: Tata Motors plans to ramp up EV production as demand spikes - The Economic Times

The company sells three electric products -- Nexon EV, Tigor EV and XPRES-T -- in the domestic market. It has also recently unveiled a coupe style SUV which it plans to launch in the next two years.

"Tata Motors plans to ramp up EV production as demand spikes​

Tata Motors is looking to ramp up the production of electric vehicles as demand continues to outpace the manufacturing activity by a huge margin, according to a top company official. The Mumbai-based automaker, which led the passenger electric vehicle space in the domestic market in last fiscal year, has been receiving an average of 5,500-6,000 bookings in the past two months for its EV range."
"The acceptance of EVs is there, in the last one-two months, the company has been getting an average of 5,500-6,000 bookings per month, he added.
The company, however, was able to supply just around 3,300-3,400 units last month, Chandra said."

Seeing a lot of these EVs now on the roads.
These are cars but the real revolution took place a few years back when 100000 electric 3 wheelers hit the roads , albeit with older gen batteries.

I had taken a test ride of the nexon ev and tata has done a great job with the built quality and the suspension.
Unfortunately sourcing of the main elements like battery cells, motor and bms is still from abroad.

Is Pakistan also seeing a shift towards evs ?

This is something that many still dont understand, the supply chain of battery pack is not only started from building battery pack factory which is basically just an assembling battery cells and other material. It comes from mining, refining, cursor and precursor factory, battery cell, battery pack, and then recyling industry. Not to mention the importance of wires production as well coming from chopper that needs to be refined further.

Yes, replace the few hundred million petroleum-fueled personal cars and two-wheelers in India with hundreds of millions of lithium-ion battery personal electric vehicles and there certainly will be no pollution at all, no accidents, no crime, no chaos and no disharmony. No surprise that India is among the top three polluters in the world.

But any really sensible governance system will ban personal vehicles and enable public transportation within cities comprising only of buses and taxis, not even those stupid metro trains.

Are you serious?

Very. The three top polluters in the world are India, China and USA, polluting mainly through the personal car and two-wheelers industry at primary level, secondary level and tertiary level. There are glaciers in South America melting because of the global warming pollution created by these these three countries. South America is on the opposite side of the world to India and China yet these two countries have made their wrong effect there. Imagine if personal cars and two-wheelers were banned and transportation in cities done only through skybuses and skytaxis how serene the world will be.

We need a mix of public and private transit systems across India. While public transport should definitely be given an added push by the government, EVs can't be ignored as they are not just sources of transportation but also a major source of Indian manufacturing. Moreover, we need Metros, Neo metros, BRTS and RRTS across Indian metropolitan areas. India is too big a country to support just one or two transit systems, we need a mix of them. Horses for courses.

About inter-city public transportation I will post in my thread about transportation once I gather thoughts for that but here we are talking about intra-city public transportation and we need not have it so complicated as is the current state. Think of this : Within Indian cities would replacing the 30 million petroleum-fuel personal cars and hundreds of millions of petroleum-fuel personal two-wheelers with 30 million electric personal cars and hundreds of millions of electric personal two-wheelers ever solve the Indian problem of chaos, accidents, crime and disharmony ? In India there are about 450,000 road accidents every year with many many deaths and these accidents and deaths are very avoidable. Just ban personal vehicles and almost all of those accidents are gone. Why live a complicated life when you can live a simpler and much better one ?

Secondly, the big cities now should be decongested of people too by building scientifically-planned, aesthetic and harmonious satellite townships and providing employment there. In this post I present how a township should be built. In this post from last year I wrote how such townships should be arranged and I quote from it :

Yes, I have written of this before many times. What we need are satellite townships which are built scientifically and aesthetically, to enable harmonious living and to prevent crime and chaos, all this written into the townships' DNA. Nicely built neighborhoods which have 100x80 foot house plots which have a compulsory garden, a tree ( say lemon ), a comfortable cat shelter and the main house itself being max two storey with the main cat house on the terrace which should also have potted plants. Wide roads which can be places to stand in case of earthquake. Four house plots for every length of road. There should be multiple Vertical Farms in every neighborhood and each farm should have collectivized labor. One shop for groceries, vegetables and processed food items with most of the vegetables coming from the neighborhood's Vertical Farms. WiFi point on every road. A reasonably large clinic. One 3D Printing shop for every three neighborhoods. A nicely built shopping district with malls that include a cinema hall set. The people employed in these Vertical Farms and general Urban Farms, security, maintenance and other high-tech industry. The work places and the shopping and recreation buildings and areas built not in ugly modern glass-facade but in aesthetic and harmonious Greco-Roman, Ancient Egyptian and Islamic architecture. Fountains. Multiple general hospitals with specialized treatment too. Educational institutions which have cross-disciplinary teaching. And yes, the township shouldn't have dogs and in keeping with this thread's theme no privately-owned personal transport vehicles but instead have 30-passenger cyclorotor skybuses and six-passenger cyclorotor skytaxis. There should be cyclorotor-based ambulances which can carry at least three patients with reasonable health systems and cyclorotor-based police vehicles [ For what is a "cyclorotor" you must read the linked post's thread ].

Now we can further discuss what socio-economic and political system the new townships should have.

You know the USP of Uber when it came out was that Americans need no longer take their personal cars out and could instead use Uber. That didn't work to remove USA from the sources of global pollution from vehicles, yes ? Some things need a straight ban to simplify things and restart from a clean slate.

As for the electric scooter, there's a frenzy of some countries manufacturing electric scooters including India and for the last few months electric scooters have been catching fire in India including one incident where there's a consignment of scooters within a truck, not even running.

Sorry but this is rubbish. Please read my last few posts. You cannot present something in a happy manner when its base itself is wrong.

Developing new towns from scratch in India is near impossible due to the lack of land. Even tier 3 cities in India have densities above 5k.km2.What we need is to plan existing cities and expand them particularly the tier 2 and 3 cities. Currently, we have around 60+ cities with million residents and around 200 for 200k+. What we need is to further extend these "smaller cities" and million+ ones in a planned way and then try to decongest the core city. Developing tier 2,3 cities with hopefully decongest the tier 1 cities as well. This is the only financially viable alternative way I can think of.
