The Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) and the State public sector undertaking Travancore Titanium Products (TTPL) have developed a lithium titanate (LTO) prototype battery which could prove a big step forward for the e-mobility programme.
The development has been made possible under the Electric Vehicles Development and Management Consortium anchored by the Kerala Development and innovation Strategic Council (K-DISC).
LTO batteries offer faster charging and enhanced safety, two key requirements for the growth of e-mobility, S. Unnikrishnan Nair, Director, VSSC, told The Hindu. The prototype battery would be formally unveiled at the Secretariat on Wednesday at a function to be attended by Minister for Industries P. Rajeeve.
