Entering the manufacture of electric motorcycles, PURE EV has chalked out an aggressive expansion plan for India and the globe. Over the next 30 months, the company will add 250 new dealerships in its domestic market, taking its total number of dealerships to over 320. This ambitious endeavour will help the Hyderabad-based electric two-wheeler maker to increase its reach manifold in the domestic market. 
Offering its electric two-wheelers – scooters and motorcycles – to the young and family men as well as to gig workers and small businessmen, the company is banking on its electric motorcycles as it feels that the demand for motorcycles is greater than that of the scooters. 
Stating that 70 percent of the two-wheeler market in India is dominated by motorcycles, Dr Nishanth Dongari, Founder and MD, PURE EV, averred, “PURE EV has recently supplied more than 300 e-motorcycles to the Tamil Nadu Forest Department and Tata Power in Odisha. Such collaborations not only drive sales but also demonstrate the growing adoption of e-motorcycles in fleet operations.”
Expressing that PURE EV is the first company to integrate Nano PCM (Phase Change Material) into its battery systems for efficient thermal management, Dongari said, “The company has already launched two models—the ecoDryft, which caters to the 110cc market, and the eTryst, which is designed to compete with the 125cc segment. These models leverage PURE EV’s innovative ‘X-Platform’ to deliver a mileage of 171 km/charge through advanced powertrain technology and advanced features such as hill hold, coasting regen, reverse mode etc.” 
Emphasising that the adoption of breakthrough technology in the form of ‘Nano PCM’, Dr Dongari explained, “The risk of un-safe thermal incidents are eliminated, ensuring superior safety for electric vehicles and boosting consumer confidence.” “Also improving battery performance significantly, the adoption of Nano PCM has not only enhanced the safety profile of our EVs,” he added. 
The global expansion plans of the company include Nepal and Bhutan. By the last quarter of the current financial year, the PURE EV is preparing to invade these markets. It is also preparing to step into the Middle East and African markets subsequently. 
To launch PuREPower – a revolutionary innovative product that can work as a back-up for households and small business in case of power outages while working as scooter and motorcycle batteries at other times – in the 2025 calendar year, PURE EV is catering to a customer base of 20,000 customers.

CHARGEZONE has announced an expanded partnership with Ador-Quench to procure and deploy made-in-India DC fast chargers across 1,000 new supercharging locations in India. The deployment supports CHARGEZONE's target of reaching 300 MW in cumulative network capacity.

The rollout will feature Ador-Quench DC fast-charging systems ranging from 120 kW chargers to 480 kW dispenser systems. Built on a modular 30 kW AC-DC converter architecture, the equipment caters to passenger cars, electric buses and commercial trucks.

The 360 kW and 480 kW units are targeted at commercial fleet operations to support high energy throughput, while the 120 kW chargers will be installed along intercity routes and highways.

The infrastructure features an energy efficiency rating exceeding 96 per cent, forced-air cooling, and a digital CAN interface for monitoring system diagnostics. The units will integrate into ChargeCloud, CHARGEZONE's proprietary network management platform, to enable dynamic load management and predictive maintenance.

Kartikey Hariyani, Founder and CEO, CHARGEZONE, said, "India’s EV transition has reached a tipping point where charging infrastructure must perform for every vehicle type, from a family car on a weekend road trip to a 55-ton electric truck running 24/7. As EV adoption grows across both passenger and commercial segments, the next phase of infrastructure development has to address very different charging requirements. By partnering with Ador-Quench for Made-in-India superchargers, we are strengthening our ability to deploy high-power charging infrastructure suited to these needs, while supporting the expansion of our national network."

Ravin Mirchandani, Chairperson, Ador Powertron and Quench Chargers, said, "CHARGEZONE was our first-ever customer for fast chargers, and we are delighted to be supporting the growth of one of the most dynamic companies in this sector. We are particularly proud that these chargers are 100% Made in India, including the Rectifier and controller modules, reflecting our commitment to world-class indigenous technology and manufacturing."

Rincell has announced that it expects to ship over 500,000 battery cells across its product portfolio by the end of 2026, driven by commercial adoption of its RC50 21700 cell. The company is actively supplying battery cells to customers across the US, Europe and India.

The RC50 cell combines a 5Ah energy capacity with a 25A continuous and 50A burst output, retaining 80 per cent of its capacity after 1,200 full charge cycles. The cell has achieved UN 38.3 certification for international transport, IEC 62133 compliance for European markets, and BIS certification for India.

Applications for the RC50 encompass medical X-ray equipment, industrial machinery, commercial drones, and electric two-wheelers. In India, battery pack manufacturer Autorev is integrating the RC50 into its battery packs for electric scooters and motorcycles.

Founded in January 2023, Rincell operates a 6,500 sqft pilot manufacturing facility in Fremont, California, while carrying out volume production primarily in India. The company is currently constructing a production facility in the US, which is scheduled to become operational in late 2027.

Jignesh Parikh, Co-Founder and CEO, Rincell, said, "The RC50 is our all-rounder. It combines high energy, high power and long life in one cell, driving adoption across a wide spectrum of demanding commercial markets and building major order traction. Delivering that level of performance consistently and at scale is where so much of the battery industry has struggled, and it is what Rincell was built to do."

Mohammad Ubeduddin, CTO, Autorev, said, "Electric two-wheelers are one of the toughest jobs a battery can do. Riders in India push their scooters and motorcycles hard every day, through heat and stop-start traffic, so our packs need range, punch and a long working life all at once. The RC50 gives us all three in a single cell, and it has performed consistently in our own testing. That is what lets us build packs our customers can rely on as India’s electric two-wheeler market scales."

Epsilon Advanced Materials has announced the launch of EpSil, a silicon-graphite composite anode material developed for electric vehicle battery cell manufacturing. The material is designed to increase battery energy density and enable driving range extensions of up to 30 percent without altering existing battery pack dimensions, or allow vehicle manufacturers to reduce pack size while maintaining current range metrics.

EpSil delivers a claimed reversible capacity of 600–650 mAh/g, compared to 340–360 mAh/g for conventional graphite anodes. The composite addresses structural cycle-life challenges associated with silicon expansion and contraction during charge cycles while supporting 1C–5C charge rates.

The material engineered by Epsilon aims to limit lithium plating risk and dendrite formation during high-rate charging protocols, and is compatible with existing battery cell production lines. The launch occurs against an expansion in global battery demand, with International Energy Agency data recording 1.2 TWh of electric vehicle battery deployment in 2025 and projecting demand to approach 3 TWh by 2030.

Vikram Handa, Managing Director, Epsilon Advanced Materials, said, "Battery manufacturers are being asked to deliver more range and faster charging without making battery packs larger. With Epsil, we are delivering higher anode capacity, stable fast charging and compatibility with existing manufacturing lines. Our aim is to give customers more flexibility in how they design for vehicle range and pack size, through a resilient & secure anode material supply option from India."
