Green Evolve inks pact with CATL for long-term cell procurement

22 Jul 2021 CW Team

Grevol, a zero-emission automotive technology organisation, launched its cutting-edge lithium battery packs.

These have been produced for their three wheeler (L5N category) light commercial vehicles, to be launched soon. The company makes zero-emission smart, IoT-enabled vehicles and advanced lithium-ion battery packs to satisfy the demands of last-mile mobility.

CATL is known to supply to global auto-giants like BMW, Mercedes and Tesla. Grevol will be utilising CATL cells for their forthcoming cargo three-wheeler (L5N) vehicles.

Jayant Gupta, Founder and CEO, Grevol, informed that by utilising these high-grade cells, they could lessen the charging time to less than 2 hours by providing a fast charging option to reach 200 km range or day and a life of 200,000 km or up to eight years by their evaluations.

Based on trials and customer reviews, Grevol thinks that its forthcoming L5N category vehicle can consistently deliver a higher range with a greater payload capacity compared to other EVs in the three-wheeler segment.

Sanjay Aggarwal, CTO, Grovel, told the media that an EV is basically a battery pack on wheels, containing 40-50% of the vehicle price. The four components that, collectively, form this ideal lithium battery pack are an active thermal management system, a dynamic battery management system with cell balancing, cell sourcing and lastly, the design and packaging of the battery pack.

They carried out the comprehensive lab and on-road tests to recognise and resolve the difficulties connected with the adaptability of lithium-ion batteries in the warmer climatic and unfavourable road conditions common in India.

Rakesh Gupta, the Co-founder and COO, said that today, most EV startups are concentrating on the E (electric) instead of the V (vehicle) aspect. Vehicle durability, aesthetics, stability, and functionality are as essential as electric drivetrain integration. The foundation of an e-vehicle requires it to be constructed on the existing vendor network of conventional vehicles, with proven performance standards, along with a wide aftermarket component availability.

Government Cancels Auction Of Eleven Critical Mineral Blocks

The government has cancelled the auction of 11 critical and strategic mineral blocks after receiving a poor investor response and failing to attract a sufficient number of qualified bidders. The decision represents a setback to plans to ramp up domestic exploration and production of critical minerals amid global supply chain disruptions and rising demand for materials used in clean energy and advanced technologies. The mines ministry issued an annulment notice setting out the reasons for the cancellations. The annulment notice indicated that the auction process for five mineral blocks was canc..

Gujarat Pushes Biogas Growth With 193 Operational Units

Gujarat has operationalised 193 biogas plants across the state and is planning to add 60 more units as part of a broader push to scale up clean and sustainable energy solutions. The existing plants, established under various government-supported schemes, process organic waste including cattle dung and agricultural residue to produce biogas and a nutrient-rich slurry. The output is mainly used for cooking and other energy needs in rural and semi-urban communities, while also improving local waste management practices. The Gujarat Energy Development Agency (GEDA) is leading the initiative and is..
