Proposal 3

Title of the Project: Solar Powered Electric Vehicle Charging

Unit with E-Gym Charging Facility in North Campus and
Designing E-Rickshaw Vehicle for IIT Mandi Campus
Project Summary
The proposed project aims to implement a sustainable and eco-friendly solution for electric vehicle
(EV) charging at IIT Mandi's North Campus. The project consists of two main components: the
installation of a solar-powered electric vehicle charging unit and the design of an e-rickshaw vehicle
tailored for the campus environment.

Project Objectives
a. Establish a Solar Powered EV Charging Unit:

- Install solar panels to generate clean energy.

- Implement charging infrastructure compatible with electric vehicles.

- Enable convenient and accessible charging stations in the North Campus.

b. Integrate E-Gym Charging Facility:

- Incorporate charging ports into the existing e-gym facilities.

- Promote sustainable practices by combining exercise and EV charging.

c. Design and Implement E-Rickshaw and E-Cycle for IIT Mandi Campus:

- Develop an e-rickshaw prototype suitable for the campus environment.

- Prioritize energy efficiency, safety, and environmental impact in the design.

Scope of Work:
a. Solar Powered EV Charging Unit:

- Conduct a feasibility study for optimal solar panel placement.

 - Install charging stations in strategic locations across the North Campus.
- Implement smart charging technology for efficient energy distribution.

b. E-Gym Charging Facility:

- Collaborate with the e-gym management to integrate charging ports seamlessly.

- Develop a user-friendly interface for gym-goers to monitor charging status.

c. E-Rickshaw Design:

- Collaborate with engineering and design departments for vehicle specifications.

- Build a prototype considering campus terrain, traffic patterns, and user requirements.

- Ensure compliance with safety and environmental standards.

Project Timeline:
- Phase 1: Solar Panel Installation and Charging Unit Setup (Months 1-2)

- Phase 2: E-Gym Integration (Months 2-3)

- Phase 3: E-Rickshaw Design and Prototype Development (Months 3-6)

Benefits:
- Reduction of carbon footprint using renewable energy.

- Promotion of sustainable transportation on campus.

- Enhanced fitness and wellness opportunities through the integration of e-gym charging.

Conclusion:
This project proposal outlines a comprehensive plan for implementing a solar-powered electric vehicle
charging unit, incorporating an e-gym charging facility and designing an environmentally friendly e-
rickshaw for IIT Mandi's North Campus. The successful execution of this project aligns with the
institution's commitment to sustainability and innovation, contributing to a greener and more efficient
campus environment.
