ETAuto EVC: ‘Look Beyond Subsidy for EVs, Build Scale Instead’

ETAuto EVC: ‘Look Beyond Subsidy for EVs, Build Scale Instead’ https://lnkd.in/ffd26mf =========== Extract : Before EVs become mainstream, Srivastava said the government is looking at ways to promote retro-fitment of an existing vehicle to convert it into an EV and also rely more on CNG and LPG ======================= Dear Shri Srivastava ( anilshri@nic.in ) : Many thanks for considering my following suggestion : Missing Piece of Jigsaw Puzzle [ 15 Nov 2018 ] https://lnkd.in/f5D8kyK where I wrote : Why scrap entire vehicle ? Why not retrofit ? · In an OLD vehicle, - only “ Polluting Sub Assembly “ is the ENGINE - other “ Non-Polluting Sub Assemblies “ are : Body – Chasis – Transmission – Tyres etc So , why SCRAP those non-polluting parts ? Why not just scrap the old engine and retro-fit the vehicle with a brand NEW engine ( BS VI compliant ) ? That will mean re-utilizing some 80 % of the asset and , at the same time getting rid of the air pollution !
