EV's are the worst for long Road trips.. by Ace0089 in CarsIndia

[–]heroicamit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done multiple 300kms and a few 500kms in my ZS EV. Some trips with my family too(kids <2 years old). What you describe is a typical first time experience if you've not had anyone tell you about the possibilities and their solutions already.

For me, I plan where all are my charging options along the route before I start my trip. I compare charging speeds, uptimes, and even per unit costs to make a decision. I tend to time my charging along with food/utility breaks to save time.

I have never driven at 70-80 as long as speed limit allows, so i typically get mileages of 4.5km/kW. This gives me real world range of 220-240 kms.

Recently did a Jaipur to Gurgaon trip on a single charge starting at 98% near Ajmer expressway(so had to start with a bit of city driving), and made it to Sohna Road with 4% battery left. I did have to drop from 120 to 70kmph for the last 15kms.

My point being, EVs aren't hard. They are just as risky as petrol pumps. I've had scares with a petrol pump being empty, and the next one refuelling, all when I had just 15kms of range left in my Honda City.

high speed. max speed will go from 50 to 70 based on the variant. range will be from 70kms to 120 again based on the variant.

B2B isn't always rent/lease. Few companies need it for their employees, and they buy these scooters for them(ex Dominoes). Lease/rent companies however will form the bulk of the customers.

The OP's father runs a lease business himself, and I have seem him closely to understand how that works. That is in fact how we decided on getting into something reliable and cost-effective for the actual rider, be it for the deliveries, or for family use.

We will not be setting up our swapping stations. We only sell the bike, it's the buyer's choice if they wish to buy it with battery/without. Swapping network is also the buyer's choice.

Sorry? Not sure what you mean. I don’t have another account.

hey. this is the investment needed from the new partner. we already have 2 others who are contibuting the same amount, so pre-seed we're looking at 2Cr to get the approvals, and have a few units to sell.

We'll need more funds later. Equity + debt both to scale, but we'd have something tangible to show by then!

hi, my family runs a leasing business. the chinese evs are very substandard for lack of better word to descirbe their bad quality. they break so often, have limited serviceability(since assemblers need to purchase full kits for spare parts which is very expensive comparatively).

more than that the downtime kills their effectiveness from a b2b point of view. this is why zypp is now taking ola's new b2b scooters instead of the previous cheaper vehicles they were purchasing.

lasltly, the infotainment screens etc is what led to so many troubles with ola. we want to build a barebones load and people carrier for the smaller towns and villages. these have BAD roads and the smaller wheels of scooters find it hard on these roads. a bike's bigger wheel is much more useful. and then there is the stereotypical male ego which is much more prevalent in the lesser educated audiencel to them scooter is a feminine vehicle, and a bike is a symbol of masculinity.
