Electric Vehicle - The future opportunities and scopes
“Everything you can imagine is possible in this universe and the electric vehicle is the most popular example now a days.”
The
world is changing, and the nature rules with the change. As the change is the
need, human always found a revolutionary transformation in every century, if we
go back into history. As the 19th century
is well known for the biggest inventions of ‘Computer’ and ‘IC engine’, the
20th century that made the world to a drastic transformation with the
invention of ‘Internet’, No matter if we say that the 21st century will be
known for the ‘Electric Vehicles’. Yes, the time is right for electric vehicles.
As we all know the need for electric vehicle has no option in today’s world. We
need to protect our nature then only our nature will lead to protect us.
I
want to draw you attention on some of the initiatives that has been taken
by the Government of India. The India National Electric Mobility Mission Plan
2020 (NEMMP 2020) of Gov. of India launched in 2012, this plan supports the EV
market and development of manufacturing system. As a part of NEMMP Department
of Heavy Industries (DHI) has launched a scheme namely FAME (Faster Adoption
and Manufacturing of Hybrid/Electric Vehicles). FAME focuses on the development
of technology and R&D for development and manufacturing of EV system
components in India.
These
are the perfect policies and there are many more. The shifting mode of
mobility could launch new employment opportunities. These would be in areas
such as charging, swapping infrastructures, services or integrated transports.
In India the energy players are now in the front row of this market as they
must be ready with their charging infrastructure without that an electric
vehicle will be a dream only. The manufacturing of EV components has given the
automobile companies a new area that could result into more profit. The most
important thing is that the oil is now replaced by electricity and batteries
that results in huge employment in enhancing power generation and distribution,
and how can we forget the battery manufacturing industries.
Imagine
the future with all ruled by the energy players only. The concept of smart grid
in smart cites that includes smart mobility too. You cannot deny, this century
will be remembered for ‘Electric Vehicle’. In India the EV must be included in
the curriculum so that we can prepare our generation for future employment that
is the need for our industries. But wait, it is hardly found in UG courses in
India. The EV can be found in PG and Ph.D. programs in many
universities.
The
Medi-Caps University, has launched the subject on ‘Electric Vehicle’
in the UG curriculum and it has been seen that ‘Electric Vehicle’ program is
quite popular among students, as they want to learn the latest technology that
would help in future employment. I truly
appreciate the initiative taken in the field of ‘Electric Vehicle’ by the
Medi-Caps University.
“Transportation is
transforming and we need to get ready.”
