Is India Ready For Electric Vehicles | Tesla In India (Documentary)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In about ten years Tesla has ascended to turn into the greatest name in the EV business today. With eco-friendly family vehicles that can dominate sports cars and even some supercars, Tesla's appeal to the two; devotees and environment conscious. The Indian market has been trusting that the brand will offer its models here too. Indeed, the Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways and Minister of MSMEs Nitin Gadkari reported that Tesla will begin operations in India in Mid 2021.
A previous tweet from Tesla CEO Elon Musk in October had also indicated this improvement. The US-based carmaker concentrates solely on electrified mobility with a scope of premium and extravagance models that offer a mix of performance and range. Four models are now underway, Tesla is probably going to enter the market with its first "mass market" offering, the Model 3.
Tesla is viewed as perhaps the most optimistic brand across the globe, and the development of its auxiliary is very huge for India's economy and its early EV industry. This can be an inflection point for electric versatility in India and might persuade numerous customers to think about purchasing an EV later on. Likewise, an investment from Tesla may persuade other driving vehicle makers and their segment providers to put resources into India for the advancement of EV and related parts.
Now the question lies how costly are electric vehicles?
Buying an electric vehicle isn’t cheap and the reason is because of the battery. The battery itself can give a cost of over thousand euros. Shocking isn’t it?
But why are these batteries so costly?
See, Electric vehicles use the same rechargeable lithium-ion batteries which we use in our laptops or mobile phones. The only difference is the one in the vehicles is bigger compared to phones, thus delivering far more energy. The most expensive component in each of these cells is the cathode which stores and releases the energy.
Now you would ask - What does this cathode contain?
Cathodes are made of metals like cobalt, lithium, nickel and manganese, which are mined and converted into high-purity compounds. According to Bloomberg report, on an average the current cost of a lithium-ion EV battery is $7,300. Currently the majority of the batteries are being produced in China, whereas Europe is trying to build out new factories in cell manufacturing.

Is India really ready for all this??
Well, that is a tough question to answer! India being a developing country and it is said that we need to have electric vehicles for our development but are we really ready? From the excitement of coming such a development in our country to analyzing the hurdles which are also ready to come between the upcoming success. What will happen next??? Are the Indians ready to adapt electric vehicles with its pick up speed, short time driving range, and longer rechargeable time??? Will India see a pollution free environment by dealing smoothly with the challenges or will Tesla fail???
