I was off the grid for two weeks, spending some vacation time with family and friends in India. While there, I took some time to scan the local newspapers for headline news on the changing face of mobility in India. Here's a summary article. This is intended to be "light" reading and certainly not a comprehensive discussion of all OEM / policy directions. The use of small batteries (25 - 35 kWh) and "battery as a service" model, both of which alleviate the initial high cost of EVs, is an interesting difference with EVs in the US & Europe. Also note the discussions on green H2, SAFs, critical materials, renewable energy, and more. #India #mobilitynotes https://lnkd.in/eCADpzhF
