India is in the early stages of EV adoption. The adoption of two-wheelers is below 10%, whereas it's significantly higher for three-wheelers. For a market as large as India, there are significant opportunities. This episode is a deep dive into the EV ecosystem in India. Apart from building an EV, we also explore the ancillary opportunities in this ecosystem, from battery recycling and building out charging networks to offering battery swapping as a service and other micro-sectors. Tune in to hear what's powering the ecosystem's shift to electric mobility. #NikhilKamath Co-founder of Zerodha, True Beacon and Gruhas Twitter https://x.com/nikhilkamathcio/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikhilkamathcio Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nikhilkamathcio/ Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/nikhilkamathcio #TarunMehta - CEO, Ather Energy Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tarunsmehta LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/in/tarunsmehta/ X : https://twitter.com/tarunsmehta Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/tarunsmehta Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@AtherEnergyElectric #ChetanMaini - Co-Founder, SUN Mobility Founder of Reva Electric Car Company Ltd (now Mahindra Electric Mobility Limited) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mainichetan/ X: https://twitter.com/MainiChetan Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@SUNMobility #PunitKGoyal - Co-Founder, BluSmart Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/punitkgoyal/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/punitg/ X: https://twitter.com/BluSmartGoyal Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@BLUSMARTINDIA #SuruchiRao - Co-Founder, Ossus Biorenewables Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/suruchi.rao/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/suruchirao/ X: https://twitter.com/succirao Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/suruchirao #EV #Climatechange #Automobile #Charging #Subsidy #Scooter

It has already sold over 250,000 vehicles.Ola Electric has set up 600 experience centres around the country where people can go take test rides. But the company only has 200 service centres.

Serendipity usually plays a huge role in entrepreneurship. It played an outsized role in Tarun Mehta's journey to founding Ather Energy, easily India's best-known electric scooter maker.When Mehta graduated from IIT Madras, he wanted badly to become a consultant because it was where the money and aura was. But he didn't get a job as a consultant. Then he tried to get into Harvard Business School for an MBA, but that didn't pan out either.Instead, he ended up at Ashok Leyland, a maker of buses and trucks. It took four months after he joined for Mehta to be allocated a computer of his own. During that time, he'd walk around and find a computer belonging to someone who hadn't come to office. Or he'd walk through its sprawling Chennai campus and read books in its library. Of course, his salary wasn't high by any standards.The low salary and lack of any meaningful work allowed Mehta to drift back to the IIT Madras campus he'd graduated from. After convincing a professor of their desire to build battery packs, Mehta and his co-founder Swapnil Jain, moved to an empty hostel room to start building things.Building hard things.That's the origin story of Ather Energy, the company that started out wanting to build battery packs, but ended up doing multi-year deep dives to re-imagine virtually every part of an electric scooter. This stubbornness would bring Ather Energy to the brink of death five times.Today, Ather sells over 10,000 electric scooters in India. Next year, it wants to double that number. And then some more.Tarun speaks at length about his journey to convince investors of his vision; doing hard things that defied common sense; building an organisation over decades; and why it takes at least three years to make a true impact at work.If you'd rather (or perhaps also) read than listen, we have published the full transcript for this interview on our website.

Tarun grew up in Ahmedabad and graduated from IIT Madras in 2012 where he developed over a dozen prototypes. His core interest being electric vehicles led him to quit his job at Ashok Leyland and build Ather Energy. Today, Ather Energy is driving green transition in India by reimagining sustainable mobility starting with the electric two-wheeler market. Tarun has also served on the ‘Technical Advisory Group for Electric Mobility,' to the Government of India and led the Electric Vehicle group in the Champions of Change program organised by NITI Aayog.

Longtemps à la traîne face au reste de l'Asie, l'Inde voit les scooters et rickshaws électriques débarquer en masse dans les rues. De quoi espérer un air plus pur dans les villes, mais sans révolution des renouvelables et filière de recyclage des batteries, la « mobilité verte » risque de ne pas tenir ses promesses. De notre correspondant à Bangalore, Parmi les véhicules bruyants, sa silhouette futuriste et ses pics d'accélération détonnent. Teja, 27 ans, se félicite d'avoir laissé tomber sa voiture pour le scooter électrique Ather : « Aux feux rouges, les autres conducteurs me posent souvent des questions sur mon scooter ! Vous savez, les embouteillages peuvent être terribles en Inde et à Bangalore. Avec un Ather, on s'en tire comme un roi. C'est performant, c'est pratique et c'est très agréable à conduire. En plus, on fait des économies sur l'essence. » Pour 1 500 euros, ce scooter électrique « made in India » offre 100 kilomètres d'autonomie. Un tarif un peu plus élevé que les scooters à essence, mais abordable. Ravneet Phokela, directeur commercial d'Ather, table sur une croissance exponentielle des ventes. « Nous nous sommes lancés en 2015 à Bangalore, car c'est la ville pour les start-ups. Mais aujourd'hui, nous avons des magasins dans 43 villes d'Inde et en 2023, nous visons 200 villes, se réjouit le directeur commercial. Nous venons d'ouvrir une usine qui porte nos capacités de fabrication à 400 000 scooters par an. » ►À écouter aussi : Chronique Transports - Ola, bientôt le plus grand fabricant de scooters électriques au monde Les ventes de scooters électriques représenteront 90% des ventes en 2027 Depuis quelques années, les plaques d'immatriculation vertes se multiplient en Inde grâce à une baisse des prix et à des subventions gouvernementales. Sur le marché des rickshaws, le véhicule trois roues utilisé en masse par les Indiens, 50% des ventes sont aujourd'hui électriques. Sur le marché des scooters, l'électrique devrait passer de 15% des ventes à 90% en 2027. De quoi susciter de l'espoir dans un pays qui compte six des dix villes les plus polluées au monde. Mais comme partout, la mobilité verte ne tient pas du miracle, avertit Avinash Chanchal, de Greenpeace India. « L'Inde dépend à 70% du charbon pour l'électricité. Il faut absolument passer aux énergies renouvelables pour recharger ces véhicules. Il faut aussi développer les transports en commun, car les routes indiennes sont déjà surchargées, souligne Avinash Chanchal. Il est impératif de développer une filière industrielle et de recyclage autour des batteries. Sans cela, on ne va faire que déplacer la pollution. » Toujours à Bangalore où l'on compte de nombreuses start-ups du secteur, la start-up Log9, spécialisée dans les nanomatériaux, veut produire des batteries durables. « Dans l'état actuel des technologies, un véhicule électrique peut être encore plus polluant qu'un diesel ! Nous avons mis au point des batteries en graphène synthétique. Ces cellules fonctionnent un peu comme les batteries Lithium-Ion, mais ses propriétés chimiques lui permettent de durer dix fois plus longtemps, explique Pankaj Sharma, cofondateur et dirigeant de Log9. Et pour plus d'impact environnemental, nous voulons équiper en priorité le secteur logistique comme les livreurs, dont les véhicules sont très sollicités. » Lancée en 2017, Log9 ne vend pour l'instant que 500 de ses batteries par mois, mais a décroché un contrat avec le géant indien de l'automobile Hero. La jeune pousse fait sortir une nouvelle usine de terre pour peser dans l'immense marché qui s'ouvre sur le sous-continent. ►À lire aussi : Voitures électriques: repenser le récit face aux crises écologiques
