🔌🏍️ Electric motorbikes are gearing up to lead the EV diffusion. 🔋🚀 Electric motorbikes are gearing up to take charge of the EV market, matching ICE models in performance, range, and price. Here's what's buzzing: 🛵 E-scooters have led the two-wheeler EV sector, but the tide is turning with high-performance, zero-emission e-motorcycles ready to hit Indian roads. 📈 Bain India predicts e-motorcycle penetration to soar to over 30% of the motorcycle market by 2030, up from less than 1% today. ⚡️ Several startups including Revolt Motors, Matter Electric Motorcycles, Oben Electric, Ultraviolette, Komaki, Tork Motors, Orxa Energies and Kabira Mobility, and some of the traditional motorcycle majors including Royal Enfield are firming up new electric motorcycle launches over the next few months. 🌟 "We're on the brink of an electrifying era," says Vasudha Madhavan, CEO of Ostara Advisors, foreseeing a unicorn in the e-motorcycle space within 3-5 years. 🔋 With falling battery prices, e-motorcycles achieve price and range parity with ICE counterparts, making them more accessible to consumers. 🚀 Advanced technology like instant torque and ride-by-wire is driving consumer preference towards higher-end electric motorcycles, mirroring trends in the ICE segment. 💡 "Consumers demand performance parity," affirms Ranjita Ravi, cofounder of Orxa Energies, highlighting the shift towards electric vehicles. Get ready to ride the electric wave as e-motorcycles become mainstream in the next 12-18 months! 🌊⚡️ Orxa Energies Revolt Motors Ultraviolette Automotive Matter Oben Electric ECO Green Electric Komaki Tork Motors Kabira Mobility Royal Enfield Vasudha Madhavan Ranjita Ravi ETAuto #electricvehicles #sustainability #ElectricRevolution #EMotorcycles #EVSpace #SustainableFuture source: https://lnkd.in/gUC7vPvS

Batteries are getting better by the day - energy density, C-rates and hence range ...fast charging under 15 mins is not too far away for standard LFP !! Hybrids are nothing but excuses and "kicking the can forward" by laggards! this is the biggest transition EVER and happening at the fastest pace - speed breakers are imminent! Geopolitics aside EVs are our only credible hope for sustainable mobility!

Electric Vehicles, especially for the fleet segment’s, provides multifold benefits - increase in earnings, less fatigue for drivers & no tailpipe emmisson, polluting the air we breathe. Sooorya EV is gearing up to launch our purpose-built electric taxi for sustainable mobility - #ridehailing #ridesharing #employeetransport “Today, we find gig workers in every sector. From receiving emergency medicine, getting food delivered even in the middle of the night, from receiving parcels at the doorstep to calling a cab at the last minute and being in time for a meeting—a lot of activities have become the norm for almost everyone now. The convenience of these services, made possible by a simple tap on a smartphone, has become an integral part of modern life. However, the escalating prices of conventional fuel have imposed a substantial financial burden on gig workers, forcing some to resort to pedalling bicycles over long distances to earn a living. In India alone, nearly a million gig workers engage in various delivery tasks, often covering vast distances on conventional ICE two-wheelers, further exacerbating the impact of rising fuel costs. NITI Aayog estimates India has 7.7 million gig workers, which it expects will swell to 23.5 million by 2029-30 delivering a multitude of items—such as food, groceries, medicines, documents, parcels and so on—from one place to another. A majority of them use conventional ICE two-wheelers while offering these services and most of them travel a regular distance of 100 kilometers every day. Needless to say, the rising fuel prices have not been kind to them. But recent trends reveal a radical change. More and more gig delivery workers are adopting electric vehicles (EVs) to get them around for parcel delivery. This transformation is driven by the global push by aggregator platforms to lower greenhouse gas emissions and embrace sustainable transportation options. Most importantly, a delivery person does not have to face the harsh impact of ever-so-often fuel price hikes.” Read more in this Autocar Professional article by Eugene Panfilov

https://lnkd.in/dyq6Kh2V SKODA India Škoda Auto Superb Case Id No. : 16400034 I am highly disappointed by the service team of Jagdish Skoda, Bhopal. I am sharing the chain of mails which I have written till now, The first mail was sent on Feb 19, 2024, 12:17  "CAR No. - MP40CA9140 - SKODA SUPERB L&K (Top Model) Insurance Policy Number.:1422003122P110716884 The Case I submitted my vehicle to the service center of Jagdish Motocorp Bhopal on 30/12/2023. The service team was good and they delivered it back on 20/01/2024(a little late) They asked me to pay INR 19,471.00 as everything is not covered under my insurance policy, so for the difference payment should be made. I paid the amount. They said that whatever will be the difference we will return it. As per my last conversation, they are saying insurance company has not informed the service center about the charges yet, so they have not prepared the DO. It's been a month since I paid the amount and yet I have not received any bill for it. No proper communication is there. My Contact Info- 7566797540" To which the manager replied "Dear. Mr.Harshit Raj Chaudhary, Good Afternoon !   Greetings from Skoda Auto Bhopal (JAGDISH MOTOCORP PVT.LTD.)! We regret that your expectations were not met with respect to your Excess Amount refund. As per our telephonic discussion with you Required information given to you. We will return your booking amount by Monday 26-02-2024.Also you agreed with us. For any queries or assistance please feel free to call or write at the undersigned.  Assuring you best of our services at all times !" To which I replied "Thank you for your response, I am more concerned about the particulars of bill. I look forward to the DO prepared by insurance company and the detailed bill for the same from your end. Regards" This was my reply and then there were series of phone calls in which they give various reasons for the delay in payment. very idiotic reasons such as i was on leave for 1 months and the manager has changed & so on. I have called the manager 9109142303 today at 10:44 and as expected she did not respond. I am still waiting for the Monday My friend suggested me to go to consumer forum but I am very fond of Skoda cars. I have been using skoda since 2010. Kindly help and do the needful.
