Canadian startup launches INDIEGOGO funding campaign for low-cost electric self-charging solar tricycle produced in Pakistan

Green Car Congress

The team projects that the high-efficiency vehicle will have a a minimum unit cost of only $1,400 to produce—the price of an average mountain bike—once the funding goal is reached. Of that, the battery will deliver 90 to 95 km; with self-charging and solar, the range increases to 120 km +. The battery is 48V, 22 Ah.

“Low cost, high performance”: Bhavish Aggarwal calls his EV battery ‘Bharat Cell’ a gamechanger for India – ET Auto

Baua Electric

India, which largely imports lithium cell batteries, does not make any as of now. Batteries make up a significant part of the cost of manufacturing a unit electric vehicle. And since one unit has five times the energy, the cost is lower. “It has less cobalt, so the cost is lower.

Greener Steel Production Requires More Electrochemical Engineers

Cars That Think

Electrochemical engineers can drive the shift toward a cleaner steel and iron industry by rethinking and reprioritizing optimizations. When I first studied engineering thermodynamics in 1998, electricity—which was five times the price per joule of heat—was considered a premium form of energy to be used only when absolutely required.
