Battery Operated Electric Vehicles as the New Mantra for a Clean & Green Environment
The prevalent conditions with
soaring air pollution and human attempts towards an alternative from
traditional ICVs (Internal Combustion Engines) has caused a major shift towards
EVs (Electric Vehicles). Environmental awareness and benefits that come along
with the use of EVs and batteries have lured the automobile and other sectors
into this clean alternative.
The use of batteries has
been around for decades. Transportation, machines, home appliances, power
supply, computers and many are the areas where batteries have an extensive
usage which marks their importance today.
Lithium-ion
Battery is one such which stands out at the most dominating battery
as far as the existing consumer needs from electronics to aerospace are
concerned. Its 75% lighter than lead acid ones and 100% efficient compared to
it. One such battery is LiFePO4 Battery
(Lithium Iron Phosphate) which stands safer compared to other Li-ion batteries
with high current rating.
Batteries are what powers
our EVs be it used as an E-Rickshaw Battery,
electric car battery or solar batteries even. The sustainable goals and development
has forced the masses to move towards renewable energy sources which can be
procured in the form of solar energy into batteries. A Solar Battery
is one such simple battery that can be charged by solar energy using simple PV
(Photo Voltaic cells) from a solar panel. Lithium Ion serves great coupled with
one such system for standby applications and other uses. Solar driven vehicles
serve as an extension to the same technology.
The age of domestic energy
dependence over fossil fuels is declining. Moving towards EVs and battery
operated cars and appliances one helps clean the air more reducing on
emissions. The noiseless, responsive and torque characteristics aid more to
individual benefits. Use of EVs and E-Mobility options through batteries are
the way forward with increasing the use of ZEVs (Zero Emission Vehicles) which
can be aided by Feebate programs and mass sensitization. The use of IC vehicles
which are the leading contributor to emissions can be switched to EVs or
hybrids aiding in increasing the NAQI (National Air Quality Index) and reducing
carbon footprint.
