ES-CT7: 100A Fast Charging, 2-Minute Servicing
The post ES-CT7: 100A Fast Charging, 2-Minute Servicing appeared first at EVreporter on EVreporter . As electric two- and three-wheelers and commercial fleets continue to grow, charging equipment must not only deliver efficient charging but also withstand the terminal wear and maintenance demands of frequent use. For charging station and fleet operators, charging speed directly affects vehicle turnaround, while repair time, spare parts costs, and long-term reliability affect operational efficiency and profitability. The CHOGORI ES-CT7 Commercial DC Charging Gun is designed around the Type 7 interface and complies with IS 17017-2-7. It supports continuous 100A current output and features replaceable power pins, meeting high-power charging requirements while reducing the total charging-gun servicing time to under 2 minutes. This provides an efficient, reliable, and easy-to-maintain connection solution for commercial charging applications. Faster Charging: Continuous 100A Output The compact structure of the Type 7 interface places greater demands on pin current-carrying capacity, contact reliability, and temperature-rise control. With an optimised power pin design, the ES-CT7 delivers continuous 100A output through the compact Type 7 interface. It supports high-power charging for electric two- and three-wheelers and commercial fleets. Compared with lower-current charging solutions, the higher current-carrying capacity helps reduce charging time and improve the utilisation of both charging equipment and fleet vehicles. A built-in thermistor provides real-time temperature feedback to the charging system, enabling continuous temperature monitoring during charging and further enhancing safety in high-power charging applications. Actual charging power and charging time depend on the charger output, battery voltage, BMS current limits, cable specifications, ambient temperature, and other system conditions.

EVs Help Grow Freight Driver Income by 25% — But Financing Terms Decide Who Actually Benefits
The post EVs Help Grow Freight Driver Income by 25% — But Financing Terms Decide Who Actually Benefits appeared first at EVreporter on EVreporter . A new study finds that owner-cum-drivers saw net income fall 41% after switching to EVs, even as lease-based and salary-based drivers gained. Smart Freight Centre and Shell Foundation say the outcome is decided not by the vehicle, but by how it is financed. A new report from Smart Freight Centre and Shell Foundation, “ Driving Income Uplift: Designing Inclusive EV Financing for India’s Freight Drivers ,” finds that switching to an electric vehicle can raise a freight driver’s income by close to 25% on average, driven largely by lower fuel and maintenance costs. But, the report also shows this uplift is far from guaranteed for every driver . For owner-cum-drivers, net income fell by 41% when moving from ICE to EV operations under current, “as-is” market conditions. The report is based on a survey of over 1,500 drivers across 11 Indian states — Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Bihar, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Telangana, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh — covering both three-wheeler (3W) and four-wheeler (4W) freight segments. EVreporter looks at the report’s findings on driver income across business models, with commentary from Prof. Dr. Ing. Christoph Wolff, CEO – Smart Freight Centre , and Amresh Sharma, Business Development Advisor for the Transporter Portfolio at Shell Foundation . Three operating models, three different outcomes The report groups freight drivers into three operating models, each of which distributes financing obligations, utilisation risk and ownership benefits differently: Salary-based drivers earn a fixed monthly wage from a fleet or logistics company. This offers income stability and low risk, but caps their earning potential. Lease-based drivers operate vehicles through platform-linked lease agreements, with repayments deducted from earnings and income tied to utilisation. Owner-cum-driver

Can A Shared Parking Business Model Solve the Parking Woes in Our Cities?
The post Can A Shared Parking Business Model Solve the Parking Woes in Our Cities? appeared first at EVreporter on EVreporter . Guest article by Amrit Choudhury, Founder & CEO, ParkoBot India’s urban and road infrastructure is evolving at a breakneck speed as more vehicles are added. Electric vehicles, connected transport, digital payments and intelligent traffic systems are reshaping how people move through cities. Yet one of the most fundamental components of urban mobility— parking—continues to be treated largely as a static real-estate problem rather than a dynamic mobility resource. For millions of commuters, the parking journey begins before they reach their destination. Time is spent searching, circling blocks and waiting outside full facilities, even though unused parking spaces often exist only a short distance away. This paradox suggests that the challenge is not only one of inadequate supply, but also of poor visibility and utilisation. Most cities instinctively respond by building more parking. While additional infrastructure has its place, urban land is finite, construction is expensive, and every new parking structure competes with housing, public spaces and commercial development. A more fundamental question, therefore, deserves attention: Are cities short of parking, or are they failing to utilise the parking that already exists? The Hidden Parking Capacity Within Our Cities Residential parking remains largely vacant during office hours, while office campuses reach peak occupancy. Hotels, schools, hospitals, convention centres, malls and religious institutions each experience different demand cycles. Looked at individually, they appear constrained; viewed collectively, they reveal significant idle capacity. The issue is temporal rather than purely physical. DAILY PARKING PARADOX Morning: Residential occupancy ↓ | Office occupancy ↑ Evening: Residential occupancy ↑ | Office occupancy ↓ Result: Vehicles search while many spaces remain idle. F

How Edge AI Can Enable Smarter, More Efficient Vehicles: Saharsh Singhania, Ambient Scientific
The post How Edge AI Can Enable Smarter, More Efficient Vehicles: Saharsh Singhania, Ambient Scientific appeared first at EVreporter on EVreporter . Edge AI is increasingly being positioned as a foundational layer for the next generation of automotive features. To understand what this actually means for EVs, EVreporter spoke with Saharsh Singhania, Head of Product Marketing at Ambient Scientific , a company building AI chips based on an in-memory computing architecture. In this conversation, he explains why always-on features like parked vehicle guardian and battery monitoring need to run at the edge rather than the cloud, where Edge AI fits into a centralized-versus-distributed compute architecture, and why EVs — with their larger batteries — may be better positioned than ICE vehicles to adopt these systems at scale. What makes Edge AI particularly relevant to the automotive and EV space today? What is Edge AI – Generally, when we say Edge AI, we mean that AI applications and computing for AI features run at the edge, not somewhere far away on a cloud server. Before we talk about how it benefits automotive and electric vehicles, let’s quickly recap the key benefits of running AI at the edge versus in the cloud. Benefits of Edge AI – The first benefit is reliability . If your computing is dependent on something far away, what happens when the network connection breaks, even for a second? With Edge AI, computing happens on the device itself, so it isn’t dependent on a network connection. The second benefit is low latency . When you send data to the cloud and wait for it to come back with an insight, there is always some latency. But if you process the data right where the sensors are, latency comes down significantly. The third benefit is privacy and data security . If you send all your sensor data to the cloud, it can be susceptible to interception during transmission. But if you keep the processing right where the sensors a

Inside IIT Bombay Racing: Engineering a Championship-Winning Electric and Driverless Race Car
The post Inside IIT Bombay Racing: Engineering a Championship-Winning Electric and Driverless Race Car appeared first at EVreporter on EVreporter . A Pioneer of Indian Formula Student Engineering IIT Bombay Racing has designed and built single-seater race cars since 2007, making it one of the longest-running Formula Student programmes in the country. The team was the first in India to abandon combustion power for an all-electric platform, completing that transition in 2012, and later became the first Indian outfit to develop an autonomous, driverless racing system. Nearly two decades of iterative design and competition experience now underpin a two-pronged programme: a full electric-vehicle entry and a dedicated driverless division, both built around the same core chassis and powertrain philosophy. A Landmark International Season The 2026 season delivered the team’s strongest results to date on the world stage. At Formula Student Portugal 2026, IIT Bombay Racing won in the overall Electric Vehicle, while its sister programme, IIT Bombay Racing Driverless, won the Driverless Cup outright. The result also made it the first Indian team ever to contest the Driverless category at an international Formula Student event. The electric entry additionally completed the gruelling 22-kilometre Endurance event, widely regarded as the discipline’s most punishing test of reliability and sustained performance.
