In the past decade, electric vehicles have been in high demand. What exactly are electric cars? Most people believe an electric car is powered by windmills and solar panels. This is partially true. The primary source of power for electric vehicles is not electricity from the grid. It is the battery. This blog will guide you through the future electric vehicle, its history, trends, and the incredible opportunities within the EV industry.
What are electrified vehicles?
An electric vehicle is one that uses one or more motors to power it. It is not powered by an internal combustion engine, which burns gasoline and other gases to produce power. EVs can be used to replace current generation automobiles in order to address rising pollution and global warming.
HISTORY OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES
In the past, electric vehicles were considered impossible. Critics claim that electric vehicles are impossible to travel long distances without power, and no way to get there. Thanks to hard work and extensive research, battery electric vehicles are now a reality. These zero-emission vehicles were discovered in the 19th century.
FUNCTIONS IN THE EVO INDUSTRY
The following are the main functions of the EV industry:
- Scientific research
- Design and development
- Electric vehicles
- Maintenance
- Infrastructure and development
PURPOSE OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES
Electric vehicles can be used to offset carbon emissions and compensate for carbon produced. Electric vehicles that use battery technology have two main purposes: to reduce carbon emissions and benefit the environment, while also saving money. This is particularly true for small- and medium-sized business owners.
HOW ELECTRIC VEHICLES CAN CHANGE THE WORLD
Global awareness of the environment is directly related to the availability of electric cars. EVs not only save lives from global warming, but also help the world by lowering fuel prices, which in turn contributes to economic growth.
WHAT OUR LEADERS SAY ABOUT EV
Our primary goal is to develop and manufacture electric vehicles. This will require us to recruit expertise from many disciplines. “We are continually upskilling and deploying new personnel to enable us build world-class electric vehicles for other countries” – Rajeshwar Tripathi (Mahindra’s Chief Human Resource Officer).
Elon Musk: “To have clear air in cities you must go electric.”
TRENDING SCENARIOS OF EV INDUSTRY:
Analysts suggested that well-respected businesses such as Ola Electric, Mahindra and TVS Motor sought top-level talent by aligning with business goals.
Ola Electric:
Ola Electric has attempted to create an electric car by appointing a Jaguar veteran Wayne Burgess, Mr. N Balachandar, the new Chief Operating Officer and Mr. YS. Kim, global head of sales, distribution and marketing.
