What will the XEV 9e’s battery technology and range do in India’s diverse weather?
The performance of electric vehicle batteries can be wildly different based on weather, and India is a particularly tough environment with its variety of climate zones. The XEV 9e's battery will endure the scorching heat of the Thar Desert, the freezing cold of the Himalayas and the high humidity of coastal regions. Very hot or cold can speed battery degradation and shorten range, while cold can also temporarily reduce battery capacity. Across these conditions the effectiveness of the XEV 9e thermal management system will be critical to maintaining optimal battery temperature. Moreover, the influence of monsoon rains on the battery and electrical systems is not ruled out. Practicality and appeal of the XEV 9e amongst consumers across India will depend a lot on its real world range in different Indian climates, which would be heavily dependent on use of air conditioning or heating. To consumer trust and perception of electric vehicles in India, heavy dependence will be placed on how the battery performance and longevity compare to the manufacturer’s claims under these diverse conditions.
Mahindra, I think, have done their homework. With a local manufacturer, they know Indian conditions better than a foreign manufacturer and hence, the XEV 9e should cope with our climate just fine.
