Increasing fuel prices have prompted people to be more inventive. In this case, a Suzuki Bolan has been transformed into an electric vehicle (EV) by a local professor.
– Electric configuration:
A 20KW lithium iron phosphate system that was imported from China and installed by the project’s owner produces a top speed of 100 km/h and a range of about 200 km. The growing price of fuel was the inspiration for the proposal. Additionally, a special Android software has been created to replicate metre data on smartphones. The system has undergone 2,000 charging cycles in total.
– Safety:
The lithium iron phosphate cell keeps the battery packaging extremely safe and prevents any bursting concerns.
– Modifications:
The cabin height has been slightly raised in order to set the batteries of 200 Ah at 96W behind the back seat. Additionally, the seats have been altered to support commercial utility. Additionally, the EV Bolan comes equipped with both an internal and external fast charger. In around two hours, the fast charger can fully charge an EV.
A custom-built touch-sensitive digital metre that displays information about the trip metre, speed, battery and motor temperature, range, and total distance travelled is also included with this Bolan. Regenerative braking and a reverse camera are further features. In order to maximise the usability of the EV Bolan, the owner also plans to add a range extender throughout the latter stages of this project.
– Predicted Cost:
Even though the project is still in the prototype stage, based on the current rate of inflation, the anticipated cost might be between Rs. 2.5 to 3 million.
