As promised in our previous article, we are sharing some more details about the utilization patterns in the country. We’ve already covered a bit in Part 1. This is the second and final part around the utilization story.
The early buyer advantage of Utilization Executive Summary runs out tomorrow.
📢 ExpWithEVs is attending India EV Conference and Expo in Chennai later this week and the Mobility Tech Asia show in Hong Kong next month! If you are around, do say hi.
Before we get to utilization, there are three things I would like to share.
In my article talking about MG’s misleading SoH, I checked the car’s SoH yesterday and surprisingly it shows a significant increase! I’ll collect more data and jot down my observations.
Did you have any money stuck in Blusmart? Or do you have any money stuck in some of the EV charging apps? Have you ever wondered why it is so difficult to get a refund? I recently came across this article by Nikhil Pahwa (founder of Medianama) explaining open loop and closed loop wallet systems. Give it a read to know what is exactly happening to your money.
TLDR - It is likely that you aren’t getting that refund.
Here’s an article from almost two years ago talking about ChargeZone’s utilization. I had a fun time writing this article! Naturally, ChargeZone stopped sharing such infographics on their social media page :D
In this article, we will cover :
Charging percentages for Bengaluru Urban and Pune
Time of Day trends for the second-best performing metro city
Two Indian highways with utilization + ToD analysis
The role of nearby amenities in influencing charger usage
States with the highest and lowest estimated energy dispensed
Our national estimate of energy delivered via public chargers
A detailed utilization map of Karnataka
