I-India's Rising E-commerce Industry Fueling EV Revolution

Ukuthenga nge-inthanethi e-India kubone ukukhula okuphawulekayo eminyakeni yamuva nje, ngenxa yobukhulu bezwe, izimo ezimbi zokuhleleka, kanye nokwanda kwezinkampani ze-e-commerce. Imibiko iphakamisa ukuthi ukuthenga ku-inthanethi kulindeleke ukuthi kuthinte izigidi ezingama-USD 425 ngo-2027 ukusuka ezigidini eziyi-185 ngo-2021.

Abathwali bezimpahla ze-EV babalulekile ekwenzeni lokhu kwenzeke, banikeze izinkampani ze-e-commerce indlela eyongayo neyonga ikhabhoni. Ekhuluma ne-Digitimes Asia muva nje, u-Rohit Gattani, i-VP yokukhula nokuxhaswa ngezimali kwezimoto kwa-Euler Motors, uchaze ukuthi lokhu kugqame kakhulu phakathi nezinkathi zomkhosi lapho izinkampani ze-e-commerce ezifana ne-Amazon neFlipkart zifakaza ukwanda kwezentengiso.

"I-E-commerce, ngokusobala, inengxenye ebalulekile yevolumu yayo ngesikhathi sokuthengiswa kwenkathi yamaholide e-BBT, eqala inyanga nesigamu ngaphambi kwe-Diwali futhi iqhubeke kuze kube yilapho ukuthengiswa kwakho okuningi kwenzeka," kusho uGattani. "I-EV nayo iyasebenza. Iwusizo engxenyeni yezohwebo iyonke. Noma kunjalo, ekuphusheni kwakamuva, izici ezimbili ziqhuba ukutholwa kwe-EV: eyodwa ngaphakathi (ehlobene nezindleko) kanti enye, ibheke kwifestiveli nemisebenzi engangcoli."

Ukuhlangabezana nemiyalelo yokungcola kanye nokunciphisa ukukhathazeka kwezindleko
Izinkampani ezinkulu ze-e-commerce zinegunya le-ESG lokudlulela emithonjeni eluhlaza, kanti ama-EV angumthombo oluhlaza. Futhi banesibopho sokuthi bangabizi kakhulu, njengoba izindleko zokusebenza ziphansi kakhulu kunodizili, uphethiloli, noma i-CNG. Izindleko zokusebenza zingaba phakathi kwamaphesenti angu-10 kuya kwangu-20, kuye ngophethiloli, udizili, noma i-CNG. Phakathi nenkathi yamaholide, ukwenza uhambo oluningi kwandisa izindleko zokusebenza. Ngakho-ke, lezi yizici ezimbili eziqhuba ukutholwa kwe-EV.

"Kuphinde kube nokuthambekela okubanzi. Phambilini, ukuthengiswa kwe-e-commerce bekugxile kakhulu kwimfashini namaselula, kodwa manje sekunomfutho obheke ezintweni ezisetshenziswayo ezinkulu kanye nomkhakha wegrosa," kusho uGattani. "Amasondo amabili adlala indima ebalulekile ekulethweni kwevolumu encane njengomakhalekhukhwini nemfashini. Amasondo amathathu abalulekile ezintweni zikagesi, ukulethwa okukhulu, negilosa, njengoba ukuthunyelwa ngakunye kungaba ngama-kgs amabili kuya kwayi-10. Yilapho imoto yethu idlala khona indima ebalulekile. Uma siqhathanisa imoto yethu nesigaba esifanayo, ukusebenza kungcono kakhulu mayelana ne-torque nezindleko zokusebenza."

Izindleko zokusebenza ngekhilomitha ngemoto ye-Euler cishe zingu-70 paise (cishe u-0.009 USD). Ngokuphambene, izindleko zemoto ye-Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) zisuka kuma-rupees amathathu nohhafu ukuya kuma-rupee amane (cishe u-0.046 ukuya ku-0.053 USD), kuye ngokuthi izwe noma idolobha. Uma kuqhathaniswa, izimoto zikaphethiloli noma zikadizili zinezindleko zokusebenza eziphezulu zama-rupees ayisithupha kuya kwayisikhombisa ngekhilomitha (cishe u-0.079 kuya ku-0.092 USD).

Kukhona futhi iqiniso lokuthi abashayeli bazothola ukunethezeka okuthuthukisiwe lapho besebenzisa imoto ye-EV isikhathi eside, kusukela kumahora ayi-12 kuye kwayi-16 ngosuku, ngenxa yezici ezengeziwe ezifakiwe ukuze kube lula ukusetshenziswa. Ozakwethu bokulethwa kwezidingo badlala indima ebalulekile ku-ecosystem, basebenza njengoxhumano olubalulekile phakathi kwezinkampani namakhasimende, ukuqinisekisa ukutholwa kwama-oda namaholo ngesikhathi.

“Ukubaluleka kwabo kuthuthukiswa nawukuthanda kwabo ukushayela izimoto ze-EV, ikakhulukazi i-Euler, enikeza amakhono aphakeme okuthatha izinqumo, izinketho zohambo oluningi, kanye nomthamo omkhulu wokulayisha ofika kumakhilogremu angu-700,” kwengeza uGattani. “Ukusebenza kahle kwalezi zimoto kubonakala ekhonweni lazo lokukwazi ukumboza ibanga elingamakhilomitha angu-120 ngokushaja okukodwa, ngenketho yokwelula leli banga ngamakhilomitha engeziwe angu-50 kuya kwangu-60 ngemva kwesikhathi esifushane sokushaja esiyimizuzu engu-20 kuya kwengu-25. i-ecosystem.”

Ukunakekelwa okuphansi
Ekuthuthukisweni okubalulekile kwemboni yezimoto zikagesi (i-EV), izindleko zokuyilungisa zehliswe kakhulu cishe ngo-30 kuya ku-50%, ngenxa yezingxenye ezimbalwa zomshini kuma-EV, okuholele ekugugeni nasekudabukeni okuncane. Ngokombono wemboni kawoyela, izinyathelo ezisebenzayo ziyathathwa ukuze kusetshenziswe izinqubo zokuvikela zokulondoloza.

“Ingqalasizinda yethu ye-EV kanye nenkundla ifakwe amandla okuthwebula idatha, okwamanje iqoqa amaphuzu edatha angaba ngu-150 njalo ngomzuzu kumaza amaningi ukuze kuqashwe impilo yemoto,” kwengeza uGattani. "Lokhu, kuhlangene nokulandelela i-GPS, kunikeza imininingwane ebalulekile ohlelweni, okusivumela ukuthi senze ukunakekelwa kokuvikela kanye nezibuyekezo zasemoyeni (i-OTA) ukuze sixazulule noma yiziphi izinkinga. Le ndlela ithuthukisa ukusebenza kwemoto futhi inciphisa isikhathi sokungasebenzi, ngokuvamile sibe phezulu ezimotweni zenjini evuthayo yangaphakathi."

Ukuhlanganiswa kwesofthiwe namandla okuthwebula idatha, okufana nama-smartphones esimanje, kunika amandla imboni ukuthi ilethe ukusebenza okuphezulu ekugcineni impilo yemoto nokuqinisekisa ukuphila isikhathi eside kwebhethri. Lokhu kuthuthukiswa kuphawula igxathu elibalulekile eliya phambili ekuthuthukisweni kwemboni yezimoto zikagesi, kumisa izinga elisha lokunakekelwa kwemoto kanye nokwenza kahle.
