5
Why set up an iCRS ?

6
 Battery Calibration
• Charge monitors to be maintained by iCRSs on
the plying autos to ensure accurate battery
charge readings be measured
• Batteries to be properly quality tested and old
batteries to be recycled
• Batteries to be properly calibrated to avoid
false charge readings

7
 Battery Health
• Safety of the battery can be ensured if they are
properly taken care of by experts at the
Charging Station.
• Proper charging at the centre will ensure
overcharging is avoided and proper charging
cycles are maintained
• All E-rickshaws to be fitted with a warning
system to ensure drivers don’t carelessly
overcharge them
8
 Battery Replacing

• Battery to be replaced by professionals at

charging stations
• Quality testing by professionals at the iCRS will
ensure no damage is done to the vehicle or
battery if they are swapped between different
E-Rickshaws

 Proper monetization while replacing
batteries

20% charge 100% charge

Approximate amount to be paid :(100-20)*C = 80C

10
Advantages of implementing in E- Rickshaws

11
Easier to change batteries when compared to cars

12
Already plying in certain cities of India

New Delhi
Specific plying routes – beneficial for setting up charging stations

14
Further Steps to improve electric vehicles

Improving the existing Improving the design of

batteries the E-Vehicles

15
 Improving the existing batteries

• Using batteries that stay charged for a long

time- Li-ion batteries
• Supercharging batteries can be used
• Changing the design of the battery

16
Re Designed battery idea

17
 Improving the design of the E-Vehicles

1. Easy battery replacement design to enable Automated

Battery replacement
2. The ratio of power harnessed by each wheel will be digitally
monitored by onboard computers
3. Doing more research on improving the car design

18
 Car Redesign

A proper aerodynamic design will ensure a boost in efficiency of the vehicle
