Battery Pack Manufacturers in India for Electric Vehicles

Electric Vehicles are the future of transportation and thankfully, the transition has already begun. They are literally the beacons of light for a brighter future and hold out hope that generations to come will breathe easier. However, it’s not just about the future and the world at large, because vehicle owners too stand to benefit on multiple fronts.

First and foremost, costs of powering Electric Vehicles are around 40% less as compared to vehicles run on gasoline – now that’s a substantial addition to your purse! If you want to save even more, you can charge your battery at free charging stations or through a Solar PV system. Secondly, EVs have lower maintenance charges as there are less components involved, which means less frequent repairs and replacements, more so, since EV batteries have long life span. Thirdly, air and noise pollution are greatly reduced offering you better health. Fourthly, as an Electric Vehicle owner, you can pat yourself on the back for being a responsible resident of Mother Earth – staying away from polluting, depleting, non-renewable resources and doing your bit to be an eco-warrior.

However, to reap benefits galore, it’s important to choose a good battery manufacturer. Thankfully, with the ‘Make in India’ thrust, you no longer have to shell out extra money or wait for days for getting an imported EV battery pack! India now has a good number of EV battery pack manufacturers. Often, when spoilt for choices, making the right decision can be difficult. How much weightage should be given to the claims made by manufacturers; how much should their past glories be valued; are you paying more for the large marketing spends; or are you truly getting value for your money? Answers to these questions will provide some sense of direction.

Speaking of lithium-ion battery pack manufacturers for EVs in India, here’s an alphabetical listing: There’s Amara Raja, Battrixx, Exide, Hyundai, Mahindra, Ola, and Reliance to name a few. When making your choice, remember to take a good look at the battery specification and other relevant factors that will have a bearing on your EV’s performance. Ensure that your choice is not a game of ‘tic-tac-toe’ but that it is a result of a well-informed decision. Here are some important pointers to check on, when deciding on the battery manufacturer that best suits you.

✔ Review the infrastructure related to Manufacturing and R&D.

✔ Check on Thermal Management.

✔ Understand the efficiency level of the Battery Management System (BMS).

✔ Check on Scalability.

✔ Evaluate the Testing and Validation systems.

✔ Read the fine print in terms of Life-span and Warranty.

✔ Ensure local back-up support.

✔ Evaluate customization facilities and price.

✔ Check Certifications.

While we can’t speak for other manufacturers, we can help you evaluate Battrixx against each of these pointers.
