BMTC INITIATIVE TOWARDS CLEAN TRANSPORT

Moving towards Electric Mobility

◼ Zero local emission

◼ Reduction in noise level - by 50%

◼ Reduction in Cost of Energy/km - less by 60%

◼ Maintenance - easy and cheaper

INITIAL CHALLENGES FACED

• High Capital Cost ; Battery cost is 60% of bus cost

❖ Funding constraint for direct procurement

• Evolving and new Technology

❖ Challenges in choosing the right technology for BMTC operations

✓ Battery Swapping Technology, Fast Charging, Pentagraph charging

• Limited range per charge puts restriction in deploying the EV buses in all schedules

• Limitation in terms of HT lines and dedicated feeders for 100% reliability

❖ Maximum 20 buses can be charged at a single point of time

• Limited manufacturing capacity

APPROACH ADOPTED

• Innovative Contracting Structure proposed to overcome the challenges

❖ Gross Cost Model - No upfront investment from the STU

✓ GoI Subsidy – 60% of the bus cost; balance to be borne by operator (upfront)

❖ Procurement of service and not the product (technology agnostic)

✓ Operator to run the EV Buses for 10 years and will be paid per km of travel

❖ Service Level Agreement (SLA) fulfillment driven contract

ROAD MAP

• Proposed to hire 500 non AC – EV buses on Gross Cost Model without subsidy

• Proposed to replace all the diesel buses (fleet) in a phased manner

✓ 30% by 2021; 50% by 2023; 100% by 2025

READINESS OF INFRASTRUCTURE FOR SCALING UP–

GRID CONECTIVITY

• Most of the existing 11 KV feeder mains

overloaded beyond exigency capacity or with

50% capacity

• To increase number of concurrent bus charging

there would be a need for Dedicated Feeder

Main .

❖Maximum No of concurrent Bus charging

– 30 Bus

CHALLENGES FOR SCALING UP

• High Capital Cost

• GST

• Mapping of feeder line distribution with capacity utilization

• Need for firming up of Standards for Charging Infrastructure :

❖ Interoperability

• Integrated planning of Transport and ESCOM

• Raw material availability and lack of cell manufacturing capacity in India

• EV Production constraint in market to meet the demand
