2018-12-24
- Electric scooters are two or three-wheeled vehicles powered by electricity. This power is stored in a rechargeable battery, which drives the functioning of electric motors. The slow charging time required for electric scooters is one of the major concerns among the users. To address this concern, manufacturers are investing heavily in research and development to improve the charging time and range of these vehicles.
- For instance, Power Plan Plus has announced the development of a carbon battery that gets charged 20 times faster than other batteries. This battery offers large volume storage of electricity at low cost. Moreover, research is also conducted on developing a water-based organic redux flow battery that is more environment-friendly and cheaper than the current lithium-ion batteries.
- Advancements are being carried out in the manufacturing of solar power electric vehicles. ETI Dynamics launched a prototype of a solar electric hybrid scooter in India. This next-generation scooter is equipped with a bendable solar panel, which provides a speed of 45 Kmph. The introduction of solar panels in scooters is expected to increase the range
