Tesla is the most successful electric car company in the US simply because of its supercharger network. That however is absent in India. In the US, Tesla charging network is quite close to the gas station network compared to the competition. Readers should realize that Tesla does not make the best electric vehicles. The perfect charging network of Tesla’s in the USA makes it a success. To enjoy the same level of comfort here, the charging network has to get strong in India. Tesla as a car manufacturing company has already faced backlash over fit and finish and quality issues on the majority of its cars. More about Tesla India lineup 2021 below.


The standard Tesla Model 3 will come with a driving range of around 400kms which is pretty decent.  The long-range variant on the other hand will come with a driving range of around 550kms which will be a significant improvement, especially considering current Indian charging infrastructure.

The Tesla Model 3 sold in the US comes with lavish features on the inside. You get everything from 15-inch touchscreen infotainment system, heated seats and auto-pilot of mode. If Tesla decides to modify the car especially for India we can surely expect some changes. First of all cooled seats will be a much better feature here in India. Moreover, to save cost, Tesla Model 3 may ship with a 10.25-inch touchscreen which is the industry standard here. Also, Tesla can reduce the cost of the car further by removing all the auto-pilot and other advanced safety tech, which simply cannot be used in India. You do not expect radar-based cars in India with roads with potholes and stray animals. The MG Gloster was the first car in India to come with Level 1 of the ADAS system. Tesla Model 3 comes with a much more advanced system which will require government agencies to test it first for India.


Tesla Model 3 

Things like the music, AC, steering wheel adjustment and ORVMs are all controlled in the Tesla Model 3 via the central 15-inch tablet. Tesla has ditched the conventional dials and switches for a minimalistic appearance and it sure looks good. There is also no gear knob with the Tesla Model 3. Coming with an automatic transmission, the gear lever is located behind the steering wheel in the form of stalk.

Tesla charging 3 unique features on Indian Tesla Model 3

While this is a not unique feature of the car, Tesla if does good numbers will surely invest in charging network which is hugely important for India. Tesla Model 3, though one of the most affordable EV in the US enjoys a major advantage there. Being a complete CBU unit, the car can suffer upto 100% taxation. That is something which will make the price of the car ridiculous. Only time can tell if Mr Musk will be able to strike deal with the government of India for some concession/benefits.

Kirchhoff’s Laws: Laying EE Foundations in Voltage, Current, and Spectroscopy

-

 While most EEs are familiar with Kirchhoff’s Laws of Current and Voltage, Kirchoff's research may have an even deeper impact on modern circuit analysis—and even quantum mechanics—than some may realize. To appreciate where circuits are heading in the future, it is necessary to understand where the foundation was laid. A major contributor to the foundation of electrical engineering is that of Gustav Kirchhoff and his laws of circuitry and spectroscopy. These laws provided a cornerstone for future scholars and engineers to build off, leading us to the technology we have today.  Portrait of Gustav Kirchhoff. Image used courtesy of the Library of Congress  Kirchhoff was a German physicist who helped develop the fundamentals of circuits, namely principles relating to current, voltage, and resistance. Kirchhoff attended the Albertus University of Königsberg, East Prussia (now Kaliningrad, Russia). While there, he was taught by Franz Ernst Neumann, a German physicist and mathema...

World’s First Commercialized Hydrogen-Fuel Cell Powers Drones for Humanitarian Missions

-
Image
Doosan Mobility Innovation (DMI) is delivering humanitarian relief to remote locations using drones powered by its innovative energy-dense hydrogen-fuel cells. With two hours of flight time, the drones have transported masks and emergency supplies between the U.S. Virgin Islands and have delivered medical AEDs to the top of Mt. Hallasan (6,388 feet), the tallest mountain in South Korea, located on Jeju Island. This technology paves the way for developing mobile robots with extended range and load capacity. DMI drones delivered emergency medical supplies to the Virgin Islands. A hydrogen-fuel–cell power pack made this possible by enabling over two hours of UAV flight time; 4× longer than most battery-powered drones. Additional uses for the DMI extended-range drones have been in commercial applications in which longer flight times have enabled the monitoring of vast solar farms, such as Korea’s largest solar energy plant in Solasido, Haenam. When performing the same mission using a batte...

CESL launches Grand Challenge for deployment of E-Buses in nine major cities

-
Image
  Representative image from freepik Giving a big thrust to the adoption of electric buses for public transport in the country, Convergence Energy Services Limited (CESL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL), today announced the floating of the ‘Grand Challenge’ – a set of homogenized demand for electric buses aggregated across nine cities. The Grand Challenge invites State Transport Undertakings (STUs) to express their demand for electric buses and access the FAME II subsidy, for which a total of 3472 buses of subsidy equivalent is available. CESL will then aggregate this demand and based on a rating system, STUs will be allocated their total number of buses. The aggregated demand will be tendered out for the participation of OEMs and/or operators for the discovery of prices on the basis of rupees per kilometer. The cities to be covered under this “Grand Challenge” are Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Surat, and Pu...
