Interviewer Pin No.: 493950392533  Interviewee Pin No.: 183169291463

Team:   Room-2  Date:15-11-21

IntroducJon: (Define the quesJons)

QuesJons (Minimum of 5):    1. How are electric cars beSer than IC engine Cars?      2. How does it generate power without burning fuel?      3. Who are the top compeJtors.    4. Diﬀerence between Hybrid and electric vehicles.      5. What kind of baSeries are used?

Answers:    1. Less PolluJon, economical in Long term, eco friendly, Faster pickup and

tracJon, Light Chassis, less space(No IC Engine)

2. BaSeries are charges at the charging staJon, which in turn get the power from  the industries such as, Thermal, Solar Farms, Nuclear Plants in some cases.    3. Tesla, TATA, Mahindra, MG, Ashok Leyland    4. EV’s are solely run on rechargeable BaSeries, while Hybrids are a combinaJon  of Fuel and baSeries    5. Lithium Ion BaSeries (Rechargeable), Ultra Capacitors, Lead-Acid BaSeries.

Get to know the enJre story: (Which quesJons help to understand the hopes, fears and moJvaJons of the interviewers)

QuesJons (Minimum of 5):    1. How far can I drive in the winter          2. What is the baSery efficiency?    3. What is the range?      4. How does it get charged        5. What are the government views and legaliJes on EV?

Answers:    1. EV’s virtually generate no residual heat, so even in winters the range

of up to 500 km, which is sufficient for full and unrestricted travel. While IC  engines’s fuel requirement increases with decrease in temperature.

2. Since, no residual heat is generated, and thee chassis being light weight, the

baSery efficiency has proven to go up to 80% to 90% with peak efficiency at  94percent during the EPA test cycles.

3. Since EV’s are less in weight and are designed more economically, they can  travel up 400-500km depending on the baSery Capacity.    4. EV drivers plug-in to a Charging point, whenever they park to stay topped up.  SomeJmes drivers need to charge en route, using higher powered chargers.    5. Government is quite supporJve with regards to EV’s being publicly used across  the country. There’s no AddiJonal Taxes on them with some states oﬀering full  exempJon from road tax and registraJon fees for electric vehicles.

Conclusion: (Explain what happens with the answers and thank the Interviewee for the discussion)

What are your final thoughts on EV’s?        Well, we had a quite an interview, we sure have learnt a lot about the  benefits of EV, and we will certainly look forward to see more and  more EV’s on the road and thank you for your Jme once again.

We can see a rise of EV’s both in Public and Private sectors, as even more  charging staJon and other faciliJes are built, more awareness will be done for  the consumers to shif from IC engine vehicles to EV’s within the next 5-10 years.    Sure thing, Its our pleasure.
