Is Advanced Technology Always Expensive? In a recent conversation with Priyakshi Gupta from EVreporter.com, Gagan Agrawal shared how Planet Electric, Inc is revolutionizing the production of electric light commercial vehicles (LCVs). By utilizing composite materials similar to those used in aerospace, we significantly reduce the weight of our vehicles. A common question is whether using composite materials makes our vehicles more expensive. In reality, our innovative approach reduces the total cost of ownership (TCO) by 25%.

Historically, the auto industry has evolved towards high combustion efficiency and greener fuel going from Diesel -> CNG -> ICE -> Electric -> and soon Hydrogen. However, greener fuel choices have a trade-off. They are less energy-dense and require lightweight and durable structures to improve performance efficiency. Industries like aerospace and marine have long known the benefits of lightweight materials, yet the automotive sector has struggled to adopt these affordably for mass production. A fundamental challenge has been the total dominance of sheet metal over the last 70 years. Planet Electric, Inc. was founded to solve this problem. We developed a groundbreaking First-of-a-kind (FOAK) load-bearing composite structure, making lightweight structures feasible and affordable for mass adoption. And, we just released our first Proto earlier this week which promises to reduce weight and be durable without costing like a carbon-fiber supercar. Check it out

Why is the transition to electric vehicles a tough nut to crack for logistics? Gagan Agrawal discussed this in his latest Financial Express (India) talk. Last-mile delivery is crucial for the urban economy, yet shifting to electric vehicles remains a monstrous challenge due to the economics of EVs. Read the article for more details on the challenges and necessary changes for mass electrification. Thanks to Roshun Povaiah for aptly covering this topic. #mobility #EV #Electrification

Revolutionizing Logistics: Introducing Our Lightweighting Technology In early 2010, Tesla transformed the electrification landscape by delivering high-performance electric vehicles (EVs) at a fraction of the cost, making EV powertrains ten times cheaper. However, we face a new challenge today: the significant weight and cost penalties of current EV powertrains. We need a second wave of innovation to make EVs and hydrogen vehicles truly feasible. This must parallel the advancements in light-weighting seen in aerospace and marine industries. We don’t have 15 years to solve this – the time is now. Planet Electric has risen to the occasion. We are thrilled to announce that in the first week of July, we will be launching a prototype that promises to drastically reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) for logistics operators. Traditionally, high-cost EVs have been plagued by low range and performance. For example, a competing vehicle with the same payload and range might require a 30 kWh battery, incurring substantial costs. At ₹8 per kWh charging, this quickly adds up. In contrast, our innovative approach only requires a 15 kWh battery to deliver the same performance. How do we achieve this? Lower Battery Cost: By significantly reducing the battery size required without compromising on performance, we cut down on upfront costs. Lower Running Cost: Our lightweight LCVs have higher payload and range leading to lower operating expenses. By eliminating unnecessary dead mass, our solution allows customers to save 25-30% on upfront, running, and financing costs over 3-4 years. Most players in the market have resorted to compromising on payload and range, necessitating frequent fast charging, which further degrades battery life and increases costs. Our solution not only avoids these pitfalls but also sets a new standard in the industry. Stay tuned for the launch of our prototype and join us in revolutionizing the future of logistics. Together, we can pave the way for a more efficient and sustainable transportation ecosystem.
