Researchers from three Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) have developed a new electric vehicle charging system which is about 50% cheaper than the current on-board charger technology used in electric two-wheelers and four-wheelers – a development that can significantly reduce the cost of electric vehicles.
One of the country’s leading electric vehicle manufacturers has also shown interest in this new technology and is ready to develop a full-fledged commercial product that can be used in the existing electric vehicles, the team of researchers claimed, requesting not to name the company.
The technology has been developed at IIT (BHU), Varanasi, in collaboration with experts from IIT Guwahati and IIT Bhubaneswar.
